No they are not, but you are not wrong... I mean you will not be wrong if the sheet I was looking at was a professional music sheet...
But I was talking about a simple guitar tab with a staff on top, so every note on the tab have corresponding note (o series of notes) on the staff, kinda the notations you see on this site sometimes
The notes were supposed to indicate the timming but they don't, so it comes with the pattern
Anyway, I found another one of the same tune that have a notations
It states that the playing is still DDU UDU but in the notes included a simplified notations that makes more sense for what I would expect
Somehow I can't post images from the phone so I'll try to explain it.[br] Instead of the row of eights it was something like this
Quarter Eight Eight*Eight Eight Eight Eight[br] *Tied notes
So I guess that would be it
