Odd Notation

I was looking at a commercially published guitar tab on the musicnotes site today and at the top it specified:

Strum Pattern: 1,6
Pick Pattern: 2

Any idea what that might mean?
Or maybe it was specific to the book of sheet music it came from?
I had no clue.
Thanks

:)

Yes - it means they had already specified what strum pattern 1, 6 and pick pattern 2 are.

No one has shown you the top secret Strum Patterns #1 and #6 yet? Not even Pick Pattern #2???? And all this time I thought you were in the club ...

;)

J/k; no idea. :D Ooops - edit- yeah, what Fretsource said.

Well that's what I was guarding against by asking here! :D :)
Thanks, guys. :)

A lot of tab books (the physical dead-trees kind of book, remember those :wink: ) have a page at the start defining a bunch of strum patterns, and assigning them numbers that are only relevant in that book (and sometimes other books by the same publisher).

There is no standard to this, other than what makes sense to the book's publisher.
