Hi all. Now i am a total nuub when it comes to be reading sheet music ( I am learning slowly but shirlie.) anways if a note seeems to be long liek in the second picture what does that mean?

 

 

and for 2 short notes on the first picture ( does that mean you play the note twice on the same fret )?

There are little dots under the tablature - in the first line there's a 7, then three dots, then an 8, then three dots. Tap your foot to those. Keep a steady beat. Then just look at where the notes are in relation to your foot tapping. In the first line, every other note falls right on a foot tap, the others are halfway in between. So you'd play the 3rd fret low E string as your foot hit the floor, then the same note again as your foot came up, then the 2nd fret A string as your foot came down, same note again as it came up, etc. (Yes, you play the same note twice in a row).

If there's a line after the note, I imagaine you play the note until the line ends. So in the first line, you'd quit playing halfway through the second measure. In the second line, you would hold a couple of those notes twice as long as the others.
