That said, I'll take today's way anytime,so much quicker and more instantly gratifying

Yes, it is instantly gratifying, but it is not quicker in the long run. The way I study songs nowadays is transcribing by ear first, then checking with tabs. I can figure out the basic progression to most songs in no time, and I'm sure that would be helpful for anyone, even those who just play for fun and nothing else.
