Guitar tab help!!! arrows on tab???

hey, im learning ‘Highway to Hell’ by ACDC n on the lead guitar solo there is a terminology that i dont understand; it is an arrow that leads north over the tab lines and says full on top of the arrowhead, then later on it says 1/2 and shows arrows pointing down. What is this and how do i play it?

This is likely NOT a strum pattern.

It is likely a bend. up meaning you bend the string up (if it says full, then it means until the ‘bent’ note sounds a full step -two frets – higher than the fretted note unbent; and 1/2 meaning the bent note should sound only one fret higher).

A down bend means to START the note bent (at 1/2= 1 fret; or full=2 frets higher than the note unbent) and release it.

Example – if you see “12″ on the tab, with an up arrow and “1/2″ near it – you play the note on the 12th fret, and bend it until it SOUNDS like a note on te 13th fret.
