Can I re-open this thread with another related question? This post is many years old so wondering what the latest advice is.

I played guitar for many years, took a couple decades off, and am now back into it. I never learned to read music, only tab. I would like to learn to read music and maybe someday to sight read. I've finished the fundamentals I course and it was mostly review and have started fundamentals 2. My technique is decent given the long break (thank you muscle memory).

Here's the question:

Will I naturally be able to switch to reading music vs. tab as I progress through guitartricks.com via the lesson progression or are there specific courses I should prioritize now so that I start learning to read the staff vs. the tab before the songs get more complex?

Thank you so much. Loving the site.
