I tip my hat to the people that can study these tunes and learn them. As one person said I too must know the structure of a song before starting. Tabs without the chord/structure are a pain for me. The first thing I have to do is figure out the chord structure. Then I try to figure out what, if any, chord they are playing out of at the different positions of the fingerboard. For me to be told put your fingers here and then put your fingers there and it'll all work out in the end doesn't work. I have to conceptualize it first. It reminds me of the guitar teacher that wanted to teach me how to read music when I started. I'm sure most of you play better than I so I am not saying my way is better.
