Well, the answer is YES people do pick up Compas sections from Tab and here's why. I can read music, but I find it exceedingly difficult to do on the guitar so when I first discovered TAB I thought this is fantastic. It can be written just like standard notation, BUT with strings and fret position. Wow wonderfull! Finally I don't have waste all my time trying to figure out which note is where on the fretboard. Yes it may be that if the chord is indicated, then TAB is not necessary but I still find that TAB included makes it much easier for clarification. I don't understand this argument that it is better for showing Compas to use standard notation. You could/should do both, right? Then there is no more difficulty for anybody. The people offended by tab can just get out some masking tape and cover the tab ... Or perhaps duct tape ... :) (Sorry for the sarcasm but the argument against tab seems silly). In any case - I do like Paco's stuff, and have his older course which I still look at. I would likely buy this newer one as well, BUT not if it's not using tab. Regards, Jeff
