eh, honestly, while tabs can be easier to learn from sometimes, you shouldn't really depend on it alot when trying to learn a song. you should first try some ear training, cause it'll help with seeing subtle differences in music and being able to tell if you're playing correctly or in tune. hell, even learning how to read sheet music can be more beneficial, because it shows you things like tempo that tabs can't really show and if you're ever in a situation of teaching a song to instruments like piano or trumpet, it allows for better communication in how everything goes.
also, LEARN MUSIC THEORY. like the person above said, it helps you greatly if you want to write songs and with music in general
