The strings run EADG working from the top down.
The numbers are the fret you press when you play each string.
Your fingers will get faster with practice.
Play some of the simple riffs shown. slowly and then as it becomes easier, speed up a bit until it sounds good.
I'm new too but there is no substitute for practice and playing.

This is what i found worked best for the beginning of dance dance by fall out boy, (and sliding up to 5 from 2 sound pretty cool.)

This is how Feel Good Inc. should really be played. Tune your guitar a half step down to E flat and etc. , it will sound better.

Adventure of a Lifetime by Coldplay. Great song to practice for anyone but it's more suited for beginners.

Hello fellow bass junkies. Any advice for someone just starting out? Everything. I attempt to play seems way to fast for me. My fingers. Seem to note able to keep up.
RE; BEST ADVICE EVER: practive slow (very slow)… brake any riff down to small parts, if needed just two notes..when u are confidend going it slow, u can build up tempo. Its a bit hard thing to do, because we all want to play at first go. But its THE most important thing every musician will tell u i guess.
(when practicing slow brains have much more time memorising hand positions, transitions from note to note etc.)
sorry for my bad english i hope u get the point

it's a fast song to play at first, but if you start slowly and gradually gain momentum you'll get there. nice and simple song. preferable to play the Darkness version though:

I can understand if you guys mean some of the tabs in the comments. Clearly some of these people have never posted a tab because they are all over the place and hard to read lol.
