Your mind is going to translate the notation to tab on the fretboard anyway unless you memorize every note location

How can one be a professional/expert level player without knowing the location of all the notes on the fretboard? I just can't fathom any other way to go about it. That's why I had to give up on DADGAD because all the notes are in the wrong places and I'm way to old to learn a whole new tuning just to play a half dozen or so songs that like. Plus, I rarely play anyone else's arrangement of anything and I can't improvise a new arrangement if I don't know where the notes are. I've managed to find notation for most of them and arranged the others myself.
I would suggest very very few AGFers would say that is their goal.
