Hello. Has anyone out there had any expierience with reading guitar tabs if blind. Is this possible? Are their specialised guitar tabs that must be found or purchased. I cannot read music braille but I know guitarists who cannot and only read tab, they are sighted however. Is there anyway past this hurtle. Also, is anyone aware of a sight where the tabs for cords can be found in written form. As in, the E cord tab is 001220 and the C cord tab is 01023? I have found comprehensive lists of cord tabs, however they are always in visual form. I'd apreciate any help on this.

Well, I don't read guitar tabs; I just listen along or get help from my guitar teacher. I think there might be Braille guitar tabs, but I dunno how to read Braille music and don't intend on learning how.
