Let's be provocative.

Last few posts have touched on how best to learn a new song.
Tabs? Music notation? By ear? etc ...

People sometimes apologise for not being able to 'read' music ... as if there's some music guru judging us for the way we do things.
There isn't.
Written music is nothing more than a means to and end.
Even our instruments are primarily just a means to an end.
Need to focus on what we're trying to do here - make music.

ANY notated version is going to lose something - since music is art, and art can't be fully codified.
(how would you ever notate the 'feel' of a blues number?)

My personal view is you've got to get the music into your head first.
Whether you hear it from your own composition, or hear it from someone else playing it.
I personally think it's preferable to be able to sing it or hum it.
"If you can say it, you can play it"

Any stuff written down is just a little 'helper' to supplement the missing information
... like what the notes are.
... or the tempo
... or which pickups the lead guitarist is using
... or which amplifier is being used

So ... listen to Gilmour playing it.
Decide what he did wrong and how you can improve it
(where IS that evil grin icon?),
modify it in your mind ... and play it.

Use whatever scheme you like to fill in the gaps - tabs etc.
Tabs, for example, contain MORE information than sheet music since there are many ways of playing the same chord.

In West Africa there is no such thing as anything written.
There's a whole caste of society, called the Jeli, who are responsible for maintaining and preserving the music and the culture.
They sing it to each other and play it to each other.
In their society you are regarded as completely incompetent if you have to write it down.
You are expected to have the skills to hear it being sung or played and immediately be able to play it.
