Need help with reading the...notes?

by Cam
(Ontario, Canada)

Okay, so I'm trying to learn a song. But I'm not sure what the line down with the dot beside it...I don't know if I should hold it a little longer or to do something different? Plus, what would two lines connected with two dots mean as well? Thanks so much for your time. I appreciate your help.

Hi Cam,

I haven't seen Tablature laid out like this before. I'd imagine that those lines were bar lines perhaps. In music notation the dots can mean alternating fingers e.g. "i" for one dote & "m" for two dots. But that doesn't make sense above because the 2 dots are on both the 3rd and 5th frets and then wouldn't be alternating.

The numbers of course mean the fret numbers. Is there anyone who can help further?

Kind regards,
Trevor M.
