Answer by Slayertplsko
I cannot see the 9a, and as for the 9b it really is a bend. These letters are not frets (exactly where would you want to look for them?), but affectations on the particular fret. Although these tabs seem to be incomplete.

Answer by Vivi
I decided to begin describing myself as a guitar player when I knew lots of chords, and could get by way of numerous songs. Nevertheless, I’m still working on speed so I can play riffs and such. I don’t assume you can get significantly credibility as a guitarist till you can do some of the fancy stuff, but your definition is adequate for me. It is highly subjective.
