By the way, would you recommend trying to learn to read sheet music for the guitar or would it be more confusing than tabs ? I started following your music theory group of lessons here, and I learned that the same notes can be played in different strings ! Which is not the case in piano so I'm thinking it'd already be cnfusing figuring out at which place to choose the play a given on a sheet of music, meanwhile in the tabs, it's pretty clear.

[br]Cordially,
