What language are you writing it in? How is it being drawn to the screen? Is this just as a programming exercise? Have you tried using PowerTab or GuitarPro? as general as i can be, i think you will need to have a loop inside a loop. The one on the outside will write accross and the one on the inside writes downward. Sorry if that was unhelpful.
