Also, which is very important, problem solving and keeping you brain active (by learning to read notation) helps delay Alzheimer's. Jonny

Tab is not an inefficient way to read, imo for many of us.
Your mind is going to translate the notation to tab on the fretboard anyway unless you memorize every note location on the fretboard, in standard at least. Then tab would be redundant.

[QUOTE=TBman;7115913]Tab is not an inefficient way to read, imo for many of us.
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.

Non-professionals like me do what they want, but memorizing all of the standard notes, at least to fret 14, wouldn't be that hard and now that I'm "teaching" myself classical it's probably a good idea.

Acknowledging that notation has much more information and that Tab has its uses for those of us who have not invested the time to master it, or who play in multiple tunings where the mental gymnastics get challenging, I can recommend the following books that contain both….
Classical Guitar Favorites with Tablature by David Nadal IMG_1667045671.469594.jpg And The Classical Guitar Compendium by Bridget Mermikides IMG_1667045792.827232.jpgIMG_1667045810.014827.jpg It should be noted that Tabs are often imperfect (either because they are a software translation or because they represent the preference of someone with more agile fingers) and the investigation of alternative fingerings is important if they don’t seem to make sense to the player. To me, the most important thing is to enjoy making the music. |
