h = hammer on
p = pull off

It means you have to 'hammer' the string on the 2nd fret and pull it off again so you get the 0 again.

Youtube explanation.

Did the same when I just started, but lost motivation due to not being able to find a band that suits me. Just playing now and then to keep my fingers in shape.

I suggest you learn some chords so you're fingers get used to working seperatly cause you'll have a hard time switching ;). Furthermore the hammer on pull off excersise unblind posted is really good to strenghthen your fingers and you'll be able to play some faster stuff in no time.
Alternate picking is a MUST, I suggest you learn this technique as fast as possible, you'll get in trouble when you start the harder, faster songs and it looks alot better then when you just pick the strings down.

I know you didn't ask for advice but these are some things that will really make you improve rapidly. :)

Have fun playing!

switching fret and playing the right strings is hard for me:D
and yes im learning the chords
do you have tabs which are very easy?
something like "smoke on the water" would be great xD

smoke on the water, seven nation army, crazy train etc. includes easy beginnin riff :P but I would suggest you to learn the basics and try to learn play full songs instead of some random stuff :p (google is your friend.)

Just take the music you like, listen carefully and you'll know if it's doable. if there's something that you don't recognize feel free to pm me and I'll see if I can explain it to you. I can hardly play any song since I focussed more on techniques. But practically every metal, rock or punk song wich doesnt contain difficult riffs is good for practicing chords! :)

0 = open string

h 2 = hammer on to fret 2

p 0 = pull finger to 0, so in this case the string is open again

I wanna learn to play guitar too? Is it very hard to learn on your own? My dad used to play guitar alot so he can teach me some stuff.

It's perfectly doable on your own if you use the internet to find information about techniques. If you really want it just buy a simple acoustic guitar and start practicing! You'll be able to play a few songs in less then a week when you do it properly! :)

Welcome to the world of left hand/arm pain!

J/k, greatest hobby ever.
I recommend like the others to learn chords and basics before jumping onto the soloing, as having a good basis will make your life easier later on.

Feel free to ask!
