The red number is the note that you should use as your guide when playing the lick in other keys. In this case the note is an F#. If you wanted to play this lick in A, you would just move everything up 3 frets so that the number in red would be at the 5th fret on the first string (A). The first note on the 4th string is also an F# note, so this could also be used as a guide.

For more information on how to read this, check out the lesson on reading Internet tablature.

This lick comes out of an F# minor and an F# minor pentatonic scale.
