That stuff underneath the TAB is the length of each note.  "e" is an eighth 
note, "s" is a sixteenth note, "e." is a doted eighth note, and so on.  
The "/" between two notes means that they are tied.  
An underlined letter is a rest.  The TAB is just standard TAB.

        Bridge  (guitars 1 & 2 tacet)
 The violin 1 part I got from the music book that was put out.  I figured out 
the rest of it and arranged it for  guitar.  The "other" section is just "D" 
and "C" chords being played. I do not know what intrument(s) it is so that is 
why it ss called "other".
