Ok I CAN read tabs except just a few wierd stuff I saw while reading through my first guitar world acoustic magazine (I started playing in July, '06). I have asked many and nobody knows what im talking about:

There is one that is like a hammer only its sorta like a dotted line, instead.

Another is a Hammer and a Slide at the same time.

Then there are hammers that go over (or skips) a number.

Any help will be appreciated!

That one means a slide but you don't play the second note.
Then there are hammers that go over (or skips) a number.
That means you only play the first note and either hammer or pull off to get all the other notes.

But as for:
There is one that is like a hammer only its sorta like a dotted line, instead.
I have no idea what you're talking about, maybe that's some weird way to show a trill. (Hammering on and pulling off as fast as you can.) But the traditional way to do that is with the second note in brackets...

thanks for all the help but isnt a slide without going to the second note the same as just putting a slide by itself without a second note?

No, not quite. A slide by itself means just slide up to any random note (in most cases the higher the better). This just means you slide without actually picking the second string. Legato slide. wink

And I'm pretty sure you're talking about a vibrato for the other symbol. Other wise I have no idea!

A vibrato is when you vibrate the string with your left hand. You kind of bend up and then release it really fast between a quarter note a couple of times. Looks a bit like this: ~~~

Oh thanks for clearing up the legato slide but the vibrato is a squigly line and I already know that one but what I am talking about looks exactly like a hammer only it is a dotted line

ok if you can find the tabs for 'Dragonforce- Through the Fire and Flames' look at the second line for guitars 3 and 4 and it should show something sorta like this:

4thstring: 3 *dotted hammer thingy* 3
5thstring: 1 *dotted hammer thingy* 1
