How do you learn new tracks nowadays? (lemmy.world)

Hello!

I'm wondering if things have changed. I started learning guitar in 2010 or so, and back then at school we all had Guitar Pro or something similar and we used to learn by listening to the track and to the guitar pro tab in turns.

I've been seeing a lot of videos about computer virtual amps recently and realised the world of guitar has changed and I've been disconnected from it for a long time. Is the tab/guitar pro method still the popular one? How do you learn?

Since then, I've moved on to 100% by ear because there were no tabs for my artists anyway. But I'm just wondering what the world of guitar learning is like now?

I have Guitar Pro 8 hooked up to Ableton Live

What do you mean by this? I use both programs but don't don't have them connected in any way so I'm curious on what I might be missing out on.

    I send the MIDI data from Guitar Pro out to Ableton where guitar/drum/bass simulators can interpret that data and reproduce the song with realistic instruments.

    Basically replacing Guitar Pro's RSE with much higher quality recordings. You don't need to use Ableton, any DAW or VST host will work fine.
