A lot of people here are TAB Nazis :D and think everyone should read music. I read music, but tend to use TAB when I hear a song and want to learn it. I'm not about to spend Lord knows how much on a book of music just for one song, even if I could find the book in the first place.


Call me a tab Nazi if you wish, but I have to put my two cents worth in. You talk about Tabs and standard notation as if they are the only way to learn songs. They are not. Try learning by ear. It is free, it works for every song, and it makes you a better musician, and one that isn't dependant on whether or not there are tabs or transcriptions to a particular song. I can learn ANY song, in any style, by any atrtist, even artists that are too unknown to have any tabs or notation available. Give it a try, you can do it.
