I'm a newbie. I'm not ready to register for this site yet (just bought a guitar, a book, and Jamorama). i coudld't afford a teacher just yet (got to wait for a raise and some side work first). Besides, I'm saving for the electric :-)

Anyway, still learning basic major chord and strengthtening my finger, while building calussus.

I have a question though - which is is the best way to learn guitar:

a) learn through the tutorial (book / cd)
b) learn by playing song through guitar tab (text, guitar pro, power tab).

I know, some of you might say - why don't use both? Just asking, how do people memorize songs (or tabs - for that matter) does it through memorization? I wasn't good with memorization (got a problem with my brain structure). I learn guitar because it uses motor (muscle) memory instead of brain.

If the pages of chords didn't overwhelmed my brain enough, then the tabs will :-)

Does tabs refer to one of the chords - or tabs mean new fingering? For example there might be tabs that doesn't refer to any of the chords.

Thanks.
