why write tabs so difficult?
After about 6 monthes of trying to play the guitar, I have come to notice something that I just can't figure out and that is, why do people tab music in a fashion that makes the song harder to play? (at least for me). An example would be, and I could be wrong but I think it was one of Kirk's lessons was that for "And I Love Her", called for the G note at the fifth fret of the fourth string the going to an A (second fret-3rd string) and then a b flat (third fret-3rd string). In my limited knowlede and limited fretting ability, why wouldn't it call for just hitting the open G on the third string? Would I not be right in say that the latter would be a little easier to play? I am not critisizing anyone on the way they tab music as I know nothing about it. It's just a question that baffles me and I have noticed this in many tabs.
Thanks,
hb

(why should an open string be easier, anyway?),
I think he means in context.
because the lesson was playing the second fret on the G string after the G note, the open string G means a lot less movement between the two, in fact, you could play it without moving your hand, by fretting on the 5th fret D string its either a massive stretch for most people, or quite a large movement compared to not moving at all.

The beautiful thing about misic is the variety. When it comes to playing within our current abilities, we can always substitue for what is easiest to play. If it sounds good and is easier, then use it. Example: Fingerpicking is a challenge for me right now. If I ommit the bass notes, I can play the song and it still sounds good.
