As a classical guitarist, western notation is not particularly good at expressing the music our own culture. The high open E string can be and is regularly played on the other 5 strings too, potentially at the same time! Natural and artificial harmonics, which string to play on and which fingers to use, and all sorts of right hand notation all feel very much bolted on cluttering the actual score. The continual coming and going of voices due to technical limitations means that music has to be experimentally decoded with much backtracking.
