Jeff and Momma– WOW those are two remarkable answers!
I think I sort of mislabeled the title of the original post, actually. Maybe should’ve been something like “Too dependent on Tabs?”
I like to use the tabs for the Daily Lessons. I guess my thought was- (and maybe this works along with your responses)- in some way– does just “playing only what your seeing” actually hinder a person’s ability to “learn”, or “see”, or “feel”, or “anticipate” the music?
Wow- this is really hard to express in words, but I hope you get “the drift” of what I’m saying.
Now- your responses…. I can sum this up easily– YOU TWO are where I hope to be someday on being able to hear and feel and anticipate-along inside a song. And while it’s playing? That is really cool stuff!
In my original TAC pledge I said I hope to be able to play by ear someday, and I’m stickin’ to it.
I’m gonna somehow “favorit-ize” both posts and and put them in my “roadmap book”, and refer back to them from time to time. Thank you both.
