Answer #1

The number represents the fret you play that string on, one would be the first fret. So you would strum the A string in the first fret six times.

Answer #2

I meant the number represents the fret you put your finger in on that string… sorry I guess I didn’t make myself completely clear. So you would strum the A string with your finger on the A string in the first fret six times.

Answer #3

so if a tab said e—————————- b –1—1—1—1—1—1 g—————————- d—————————- a –3—3—3—3—3—3 e —————————-
