I have been playing guitar for the last 30 years, the last 18 years I have spent as a military musician. The argument of tab vs sheet music always comes about during a rehearsal. The winner in all the arguments is TAB with rhythmic dictation above it. Tab was the first form of written music for guitar. Traditional notation didnt come about for guitar until classical guitar started being taught in colleges.. For many years I have sat behind sheet music in Jazz bands, rock bands, jazz combos ect. Traditional notation is cumbersome and never gives the entire picture of what the part is doing. The biggest reason I have found for this is not in the notation but in the arranger and composers ability to notate the part. Many arrangers that I have had to DEAL with have no clue in the least how to notate a guitar part, especially with distortion, bends, wammy bar, blah blah blah. But when I show them how tab works every last one of them has a light bulb go off and they never present me with sheet music again its always tab with rhythmic dictation above.. Again thats my 2 pennys LOL

thank you for sharing this lesson . I found it very hepfull to master the arpeggios. I use it often as warming-up exercice (less boring than scales runnings). It’s a real dust buster too for the neck of my guitar ;-) .
Have a nice day sir.

I’m a beginner and I really appreciate your lessons. I’m from Mauritius and whenever i get time, I practice a little bit on your tutorials. I agree with M. Roberts and blissinger. It would be great help if you could provide us a recording, to judge our practice routines.

Thanks for all Sir. Have a nice day.
