I originally posted this tune fragment in a thread called Our Friend the movable B7 chord but evidently that thread had already died. I figured some people might like to use HTML to graphically represent a complicated technique in tablature so I decided to post it over here as an HTML example.

The HTML for this simple fragment looks like this:

  <h4>Bye Bye Blues</h4>
  <pre>
  <b>                    C                                   Ab              </b><br>
  E<s>                |  0              |                 |                 |</s><br>
  B<s>                |                 |                 |                 |</s><br>
  G<s>                |                 |  0              |  1              |</s><br>
  D<s>                |      2       2  |      2       2  |      1       1  |</s><br>
  A<s>         0   2  |  3              |  3              |  3              |</s><br>
  E<s>     3          |          3      |          3      |          4      |</s><br>
  </pre>
  
  <p>
  <pre>
  <b>                    C                                   A               </b><br>
   <s>                |  0              |                 |                 |</s><br>
   <s>                |                 |                 |                 |</s><br>
   <s>                |                 |  0              |  2              |</s><br>
   <s>     1       1  |      2       2  |      2       2  |      2       2  |</s><br>
   <s> 3              |  3              |  3              |  0              |</s><br>
   <s>         4      |          3      |          3      |          0      |</s><br>
  </pre>
  

You'll need to copy the example above and paste it into your prefered text editor, make it display your example technique, then copy it and paste it into a tread posting. You'll want to save it on your own computer as an HTML file so you can make sure it displays the way you want it to. When you display it, it will seem to be double spaced. Don't worry, it will look right when you post it back here at Mudcat. The example above looks like this:
