Is it better to play chords or tabs?
Tabs have great advantages as it helps a player to exactly play the notes on the fret board rather than read the musical notations, which is a bit difficult. ... If a person practices to play the guitar using the chord chart, then they can quickly play the instrument more quickly than using tabs.
Should you learn tabs or chords first?
You should just learn to play guitar in general. You're going to need to know basic chords and certain key notes on the neck. Learning other songs through tab can help a great deal in advancing skills you already have, but you should learn basic music theory applied to guitar/in general first.
Do chords have to be in order?
