I'm in the same boat as the OP but as a beginning bassist. I get that reading music is important if you want to jam with others or play in a band. I'm too told for that. I'm learning to play for the enjoyment of it. I've been doing really well with tabs and was under the impression that this would give me material to play along with similar to Songster but those windows with music notation in them look like Chinese to me. I can't make heads or tails of this program either.
