Tabs are not in any sense a complete form of music notation. You can't hope to learn any form of musical technique when you don't have an understanding of what you're playing.
You sound like a pianist. 
I've always found tabs and the music on a cd player to work fine. There's a number of techniques with guitar that are complex to notate with standard musical notation.
Always best to do it by ear, I reckon.
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
