Hi edzbik,
I think the goal is to learn and try to capture as much information as you can. I think it's a great gaol to be able to play everything from memory, but that could take a really long time and even be detrimental to your other skills. You don't want to spend all your guitar time memorizing a single lesson. I would say if you can play along with a tab, that is definitely good enough!
