Hey Novelette, welcome to the TAC community. Tabs can be intimidating. If strummimg, rely more on the notes printed above the tab versus the musical staff. If finger or flat picking, rely more on the scale written below the staff. Guitar often is more interpretative based on strumming or picking. The tab gives you the count and the run on notes that show the pattern for the chords your playing and when you incorporate vocals, you know the tone and are you up when you see good is it. It has more to do with the rhythm aspect that each individual note on a tab. .
As for the lessons being too fast, when learning the guitar it requires you to break down small sections to focus on. So when watching Tony, maybe watch the video first to get an idea as to what you’ll be learning; then and take each one and work just on that section. Then, go back to the video and watch the next section and work hpjust on it. When you have that, play the 1st and 2md section together. When you get that, go back to the video and so on.
Just do the best you can. Mark the lesson,complete after 10 minutes. You can still work on it, but remember, we’re all about progress over perfection. If you just give it a go, mark complete, and move forward. The lesson will eventually come around again, and each time it does you’ll see how you’ve progressed.
