  1. The numbers on the bottom are your top string. Your E. From bottom to top, the tabs go EADG. It looks like that song is in a drop tuning though. So you have to tune down to a Drop C#. Just kinda read the tab upside down i guess. Bottom line on the tab refers to your top, fattest string. Also...the "h" between numbers is a hammer-on. You just move you finger to that next fret without plucking the string.
  2. The notes are set up from highest to lowest, so it will look something like this D|-------------------- B|-------------------- A|---0-0-0---------- E|5---6---7--------- The numbers are the fret you play going towards the frame from the head. So the on the E string, the 0 would be open, 1 would be an F, 2 an F# and so on. Same thing on the other strings but they're different notes. Its kind of a rough description, but good luck!
