Is the other guitarist better because he CAN read music?? I could see this
coming into play if they were playing a song they had never heard before, but
lets say they know some song, we'll use a sheryl crow song because she uses
more than barre chords. Lets say that both of them had heard the song, the fact
that one could read music won't help him any more than the person who can read
only tab? Get the point I'm trying to convey? If it was some song that either
had never heard before than sure the person who can read music will know the
stumming pattern while the tab reader won't because he won't know the timing.
I havn't read music since I took piano lessons a while back, but I think I can
play a bitchin guitar if I know the chords to a song I like. I have over 500
songs I D/Led from the internet and I can probably play almost all of them,
because I know how the song goes and I know the chords.
Anyway my 2cents because I don't think reading music will make you a better
PLAYER but a better reader.



Anyway it's heart that makes a guitarist great. I only wish to present to the
world mine.
