hi I am trying to read the tabs for violin that were provided by another reader for this song by GreenDay- prob is i don't know how to read tabs- but i do know how to read sheet pretty well... would it be for example A1- A string first finger ?

-- A1 A(2) A3 A(2) -- A1 A(2) A3 A0 A1 A(2) A3 A(2) A1 A(2) A3 A3

E(2) E1 E0 A3 A1 A(2) A1 A0 -- D3 D2 D1 D0 -- A1 A(2) A3 A(2) A1 A(2) A1 A0 D3 D2

D1 D0 D3 A0 D3 D3 A0 A1 D1 D0 G3 D0



any help or guidance on this song will be greatly appreicated- i would like to play it for my loved ones funeral
feel free to email if you want...thank you so much

I'm not certain and I don't want to lean you into the wrong direction but i believe that the letter is for the string you play and the number is how many fingers you put on the string. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but I think that's how you play it.
