This is interesting. Growing up, I had 8 years of music theory, so reading standard notation is second nature. In high school and later on in rock/metal bands, I never actually used it. It was far more common to use guitar tablature (even though I was the drummer). Tab is more of a short-hand system, giving you fret markings and measures, but usually omitting rhythmic notation.
To me, this system is actually more confusing. The spacing is kind of hard to see. Maybe it's because I keep trying to read it as if it were standard notation. I wonder if it would help someone starting from scratch.

It was far more common to use guitar tablature I know you know this, but I'd like to point out for others that Tab is specific to the guitar family (basses, ukulele, etc) it does not work for any other kind of instrument.
- CuriouslyC 4y agoTabs are so much better than old school sheet music for guitar (drum sheet music I don't mind), maybe some people want to figure out their own fretting but I'm fine being spoon fed (even being a finger style weirdo).
