I agree with Notes. I didn't have tabs back when I was learning. I had to learn the notes up and down the neck then figure out what fret position was the best for each song. Tabs does make that much easier today.

Tabs for me are like finger positions for every instrument. It shows you were to put your fingers to get a each note. For instance a chart that shows you that fingers one and three pressing down on valves one and three will give you a D note is tabs for a trumpet player. But tabs/charts will not teach you to read music.

I do believe that you do not need to lead music or learn theory to make good music. But doing so can expand your knowledge and playing abilities. YMMV
