I have a question about reading music. I played the trumpet for 6 years and somewhat remember how to read music. I remember EGBDF (every good boy does fine) for notes on the lines and FACE for notes in between, and how whole, half, quarter, eighth notes, etc.. look. There was a four year gap in between me setting down the trumpet and picking up the guitar. Since I've been with the guitar; however, I've only been learning songs by reading them in tab notation. Recently I've downloaded a sweet program called Powertab and have been scouring the Power tab archive for songs. I noticed along with the tab notation, it also has the bar with the actual music notes in it. My question is whether or not I should be able to play the songs by just looking at the notes alone. Do good guitarists do this? Or does tab notation alone suffice. It seems to me that you get a helluva lot more information from looking at the song in note formation. I'd appreciate any input. Thanks.
