As a beginner playing the acoustic guitar, you probably look for music anywhere you can find it. Most of the guitar notes that you can find online and in guitar music books comes in tablature. It is difficult in this day and age to find music available in sheet music form for the guitar, though sheet music is still available for other instruments such as the violin and the piano for example. It is nearly impossible for people to learn how to play acoustic guitar music in this day and age without first having learned how to read and understand guitar tablature.

Acoustic guitar tablature, also known as "guitar tab" is actually relatively easy for you to learn if you know how to get started. Getting used to playing acoustic guitar tab is a completely different situation, but it is not impossible to get used to playing guitar tablature once you have a feel for what you are doing. This is because guitar tablature is designed specifically to make guitar playing easier, and once you get the hang of it, reading it and interpreting it will be much easier.

If you are used to learning how to play songs on the guitar with sheet music, then learning guitar tablature will definitely be a unique experience. If you are just learning how to play the guitar for the first time, however, then reading and interpreting tablature will come a little more naturally. You do not have to unlearn knowing how to read regular sheet music, but you do need to learn how to interpret the music in a completely new way. Acoustic tablature reading is just an additional skill that you can learn that will improve your capabilities in reading and interpreting music.

There is no real answer to which type of music is better, because both sheet music and guitar tabs have their benefits. What it really is a matter of is which you are going to find when you are looking for a favorite song. If you are a classically trained musician, then sheet music may be a preferred method of learning to play, but guitar tab is easier to come by and much more practical to learn for most acoustic guitar players. There are a wide variety of different music books out there that not only come equipped with guitar tab, but also teach you how to read it.
