Hi guys,
I'm a bit of a music freak when it comes to guitar.. I love it.
The winner of the tabs vs staff argument is simple - none!
Train your ear and you will be great.
David Lucas Burge has a few ear training courses if you are serious about music. If it's more just a hobby then I don't have anything against tabs, if they get you playing guitar when otherwise you'd be watching tv then there's nothing wrong with that!
I don't know any J-Rock songs but I'm sure I'll get into it soon... I guess I could tab a thing or two if a few people really want something. I have near perfect Relative Pitch so it's easy for me.
