no, i understand how tabs work and how sheet music works, and i can write tabs and everything, i just cant read them, its hard to explain, and im only 15 so taking lessons is outta the questions. plus i dont think there are lessons around here, and have you ever picked up on eof those books? those just explain basic stuf fin a complicated way... maybe this isnt the place for me, maybe im not meant to be a guitarist, oh well, guess ill go get rid of my account....
