Hey guys and girls, i'll post the first comment, to get the 'flow' going. I prefer tabs, 'cause well... for me, it's easier to read them. But if i try to read a actual music sheet, it takes 4 ever to read and know what note it is. quote

I also prefer tabs they are easier to understand while music sheets to me are a bunch of dots and silly lines. METALLICA AND TABS ALL THE WAY quote

i can read music sheets, but what you have to remember is that when you read a note, theres 2 (or 3 if you have 24 frets) places to play these notes on each string, so ifind tab much easier when learning a song quote

i guess we're all the tabs type of people. like most of you say, TABS ALL THE WAY!!! but sometimes, there's music sheets that includes the tabs. (Like my 'Easy Guitar Songs' song book) quote

Mind you, if you know the name of the note you are playing, you don't really need sheet music at all. quote

I think tabs r eaiser to read but as some of u guys/girls said, u can't get the tempo when reading tabs, but only with music sheets. So if we'd have both (by the way, we can yay!!) it'd be awesome. And, u can learn the song using tabs, and then u can practice the tempo and things like that with an actual music sheet.
Cheers, guy and girls

ok ill put my input into this I prefer tabs but I can read sheet music.If I had a choice I would do tabs.But if i didnt i would be fine with sheet music.What do you guys think about chords I think tabs are better than tabs because sometimes it chords you dont know and if you have the tabs you can easily figure it out. Love ya all. quote

Yeah, and with tabs, u can figure pretty much how the beat goes, than well... u know, u can figure out the beat with music sheets too. But if it comes to chords, yeah u know a certain chord from a certain song, but u don't know the beat  . Unless u know the song and u can figure out how the chord goes, tabs and music sheet would b better for figuring out beats. quote

Both work the bes. When you buy books that have a selection of an artists songs they use both so you can read the tabs easily but the sheet music is there for the beat. quote

tabs are easier to understand, i can read sheet music, but when i'm learning a song, its easier with a tab because with sheet music, say for example it shows the next note is an e, there are so any places that you can play it, with a tab i know i'm using the right e quote

Basiclly I think that the reason you guys like tabs so much is simply because you've all been too lazy to actually take the time to read sheet music.
Tab is the "diet" version of transcribed music in my opinion, the simpler way for people who are beginners and have no idea what they're doing, but if you wanna get serious in music, and more then just that guy who learned to play that song in that site then sheet music is the way.
P.S: If you don't get what I mean, try playing and improvising with a Jazz group  quote

personally i liek to use both. tabs are great but if you can't see the actual value of the notes like u can c on sheet music it can almsot be worthless especially when the guitar parts ur tryin' 2 play are turned down or the rhythms are weird. quote

I preffer playing everything by ear actually.
But if not then I'll choose tabs over standard notation. I can read written music by all means, but I just find it easier (if I already know the song) to play it by ear or by tab. quote

TABS ALL THE WAY!!!!
see, with guitar all the intervals are so annoyingly confusing (each string is a 4th up from the last except from B to G which is a major 3rd) that reading sheet music starts to take way too long.
with tabs you take a quick glance and there it is. ez to play. fast. efficient
and also really good tabs will even give you note values and everything.
and just so everyone knows I play sax and clarinet as well as guitar and i prefer tabs to sheet even though i can use either. also mostly accurate tabs are free online, sheet music isnt :P quote

I like the tab that has musical notation as well. Like it has a hollow circle with no stem around the note to show that it's a whole note.
Has anyone else seen this? quote

It really depends on the instrument if it's any kind of guitar tabs are better but for piano sure its possible to do it in tabs but standard notation is so much better. Sometimes its easier to write stuff out in standard because its easier to view the music and find accompanying melody's and such. quote
