i'm only going to ask this one more time - how is someone supposed to transcribe music without knowing how to play the instrument in the first place?

if you've taken lessons and had a teacher show you the basic chord shapes and scales then you're not self-taught. if you picked up a book / magazine / webpage and figured out those chord shapes and scales on your own then you ARE self-taught. of course someone else has to write those lessons, but that doesn't mean you aren't the one who taught yourself the knowledge within those lessons. otherwise i was taught how to play guitar by billy corgan, john petrucci, kirk hammet, and dimebag darrell...

...and there's no timing/meter or dynamics in tabs? again. you've obviously never read a guitar magazine.
