The vast majority of tabs do not have the rhythm info you need to know in order to play the parts! That is why music notation is vastly superior (in the form of sheet music or MIDI files - Guitar Pro or PowerTab).

An example to illustrate; how do you play this line of music:

E |-------------------------|
B |----5-4-----4-4-2--------|
G |---------4---------4-2-1-|
D |-2-----------------------|
A |-------------------------|
E |-------------------------|

What's missing from that tab? The info that tells you when to play each note. How long does each note last? How quickly do you move on to the next note?

The tab does not contain that info. Music notation would contain that info in the form of rhythmic symbols. Learning how to properly read music will vastly improve your ability to understand and play any music you come up against.
