About guitar tab paper

Guitar tab shows you which string and fret to play instead of pitches on a stave, which makes it the fastest way to jot down guitar parts. Each line represents a string (the top line is the thinnest, highest string), and you write fret numbers on the lines. This sheet gives nine blank six-line tab systems per page, with a TAB marker at the start of each.
