The way I look at it is, why spend all that time trying to learn a song, when you can find the tabs. Sure learning it by ear helps build ear listening skills, but there are other excersises for your ear than trying to learn a song by ear. I would much rather read the tabs for a song, than figure it out by ear. And for Rufus, What a moron. He thinks he can come in here and tell us how good we are that if we can't transcribe a song, we should quit. Who does he think he is. The god of guitar.
