Guitar tabs are a simple way to learn how to position your hand to play certain tunes. The number on the tabs represent the fret that you should play, while the lines on the tabs represent the string that you'll play the note on. Tabs put the top string, or 6th string, on the bottom line, the 5th string on the second to bottom line, and so on. Tabs do not designate how long to hold a note or chord, so you'll have to listen to the song that you want to play as you learn it. For instance, if the tab had 1-1-1 on the top line of the tab, that would mean that you strum the bottom string, or 1st string, 3 times in a row. The easiest way to play popular songs is to use guitar tabs. Look up the tablature for the song that you want to play, then practice perfecting it. Start off by playing simple songs that only have a few notes and chords, then advance to more elaborate songs with many different parts. Playing other people's songs will teach you popular chords and progressions.
Summary: Take guitar lessons from an instructor. Read guitar books and guides. Watch Youtube videos to learn more advanced techniques. Learn how to read and play guitar tabs. Cover songs that you enjoy.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: " Hamsters are commonly (though mistakenly) called "nocturnal," when in fact they are "crepuscular." Whereas nocturnal animals are most active at night, your hamster will be most active during twilight hours (dusk and dawn). Understanding this about your hamster will help you better understand and cope with his sleep patterns. If you would like to train you hamster to wake up a bit earlier (so that you can spend time with him), the first step is to track his schedule. Spend 3-5 days writing down precisely when he is asleep and awake. Once you know your hamster's schedule (specifically what time he wakes in the evening), begin feeding him at this time each day. For example, if your hamster wakes each night at 8:30pm, begin feeding him at 8:30 on the dot. Do this for at least one week before moving on to the next step. Begin moving the feeding time back in 15-minute increments. For example, after the first week, you'll begin waking your hamster up a bit earlier by feeding him at 8:15pm. Continue this until he begins waking at 8:15 on his own (this should take about one week). Then, begin feeding your hamster at 8:00pm, and so on. This technique needs to be done subtly, over time, in order for it to work. So be patient through this process. Once again, understand that it is your hamster's innate nature that causes him to wake at dusk and dawn. You are not going to alter that overnight. Furthermore, you're never going to change it completely. At best, you may be able to train your hamster to wake one hour earlier than he did before.
Summary: Understand that hamsters are "crepuscular. Track your hamster's schedule. Feed him at the same time each day. Begin moving your feeding time back. Be patient.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If your hot dogs are still in their sealed package, you can leave them there. If they've been opened, place the hot dogs into a plastic food storage bag that has a zipper. Make sure the hot dogs are airtight so that the cool water doesn't touch the food. You don't want the water to touch the hot dogs for food safety purposes. The hot dogs or the water could become contaminated, so it's best to avoid this risk. You don't need to be precise about temperature, but the water should feel cool to the touch. It's generally safe to use the coolest setting on your tap. Add enough water to the bowl or dish to cover the hot dogs you want to defrost. If you're thawing multiple packs of hot dogs, it's best to place them in separate dishes so they defrost faster. Place the hot dogs into the bowl or dish and push them beneath the cool water. Make sure they're totally covered. Leave them to sit on the counter at room temperature. Set a timer for 30 minutes so you can check on them. The hot dogs should stay at the bottom of the bowl or dish because they are heavy. However, they may float if there is air in your bag. If this happens, squeeze out the air and put your hot dogs back in the water. Pour the used water down the sink. Then, feel the hot dogs through the packaging to see if they feel thawed. If they don't, add more cool water back to the bowl or dish. Set the timer for another 30 minutes. Thawed hot dogs should feel squishy and a little flexible. Additionally, they'll feel cool and not cold. Your hot dogs may thaw in 30 minutes, but it's likely that they'll take an hour if you're thawing a whole pack or multiple packs. After another 30 minutes, pour the used water down the sink and check your hot dogs to see if they're thawed. When they feel thaw, start cooking them. If they still feel frozen, cover them with cool water again. Then, set your timer for 30 minutes. You can do this safely for up to 2 hours or until your hot dogs are thawed. Typically, hot dogs will defrost within 1 hour. immediately after thawing them in cool water. While this is a safer method than using your microwave, you still need to cook your hot dogs immediately. Cool water doesn't keep the hot dogs below 40F (4C), which means that bacteria may start growing. Cook your hot dogs immediately to kill the bacteria. For instance, grill, boil, roast, or microwave your hot dogs.
Summary:
Put your hot dogs in a sealed, airtight plastic bag. Fill a large bowl or dish with enough cool water to cover your hot dogs. Submerge your bag of hot dogs into the cool water for 30 minutes. Check the hot dogs and replace the water after 30 minutes. Change the water every 30 minutes for up to 2 hours. Cook your hot dogs
