Octatonic posted:RE: Tabs, I think that it's pretty difficult to learn guitar using classical notation and no other musical background, to be quite honest. Since most beginners want to "be playing music" right away, and strumming requires the least left and right hand synchronization of just about anything you can do on the instrument, generally you start with chords. Associating note names with frets is a loving lot to memorize for a novice, and it takes a pretty decent amount of music theory and experience in order to come up with guitar chord voicings and fingerings by yourself. Similarly, tabs are pretty good for helping novice guitarists learn how to move along the fingerboard. I think that you can build up to reading notation for melodic playing once you start to understand the way that scales are shaped fairly easily, but I can't imagine that a beginner learning chords from classical notation would go all that well. As someone who played forever, then picked up guitar recently, yep. I've read sheet music a long time and still have trouble parsing the guitar music at times because A) Alto sax doesn't go as low as guitar and is always single notes b) pick a note on guitar and you can play it at three different location on the guitar neck. only one fingering (95% of the time) for sax
