It's good to have a basic understanding of how the notes fit together, chords are produced, etc. and you cannot get this from tablature.<BR/><BR/>How many guitarist do you see playing from sheet music? If you're playing with the local symphony maybe, but for the most part, patterns of notes are what need to be learned and applied to play music on the guitar.<BR/><BR/>After getting some time under your belt playing songs, you'll have the hand strength, patience and love for the instrument to take the next step and learn notes if you still want to. ;)<BR/><BR/>If you start off feeling that notes must be learned, you're gonna get fed up with playing simple melodies and give up on the instrument in a few weeks as it will be a chore, rather than fun. Enjoy playing the instrument by learning some simple songs, then you can worry about the details. Look at me, I've only waited 20 years to get to the point that I really wanted to make my own music. :)<BR/><BR/>Andy CrambAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
