And also what do you do when you get this on guitar tab
(0h2p0)
and
(2) instead of 2

Thanks

Answer
Depending on which string in the tab the 0h2p0 is on, it means that you pluck the string by itself then "h"ammer down on the "2"nd fret and then "p"ull off back to an open string and pluck it.

The 2 with parenthesis I believe is harmonic, meaning you rest your finger lightly on the second fret and pluck the string. If you do it right it will make a high pitched ring. I could be wrong about the harmonic part though
