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 a C. If you wanted to play this lick in D, you would just move everything up 2 frets so that the number in red would be at the 10th fret on the first string (D).

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

 

This lick is completely out of a C minor pentatonic scale.
