It will depend on your ultimate goals, I suppose. I have only composed a few pieces and do not sell books - that would mandate good tab or notation. So I do not need "product".
There have been two major medical episodes in the last decade where I was forced to stop playing for months. When finally getting back to the guitar, some of my more intricate repertoire was no longer under my fingers and had to be re-learned. It would have been nice to have some tabs to get me back there more easily, instead of having to reinvent the wheel. Handwritten tab scanned to PDF would have worked fine for me. Another option would be a video shot from overhead or over my shoulder so that my left hand could be seen from the player's perspective. On the plus side, it was therapeutic to get there again and the effort made me look at certain things differently. Songs that were originally learned by rote from tab now had to be analyzed in terms of chord shapes and where the fingers lay naturally. Certain parts became simpler and easier to remember as a result. |

thx SprintBob, I will investigate TabEdit. I have a tendency to use recordings as a way to reproduce timing on a song I wish to learn, though if it's my own stuff, that approach does not work as well.

that's interesting - and I hope you are fully recovered. yah, i find it helpful to have a written version for that purpose too. I will try video also, though I'm ramping up my practice now, so that is 6 months away in all likelihood - just to watch myself and learn, more than anything.
