Back in the '70s I learned "Stairway to Heaven" up to the part where the chords start, not because I loved the song, but because my cousin stole the guitar music from his band class and gave it to me. I learned it by notes, not tabs. Back then I played trumpet and read music. I probably still could, but when I started playing again last winter I discovered tabs and that made so much more sense to me.
Since then I've been taking lessons and have learned a lot of simple three- and four-chord and finger-picking songs, but I've only learned the lead and rythym parts of one song completely through from start to finish: Crazy Little Thing Called Love. Although that's only partly true--I have a hard time with one of the arpeggio parts in the solo. I know parts of a lot of songs, but I need to learn a few more from start to finish to make practice more interesting.
