Hey Phil, I see the dilemma as I understand how frustrating it is trying to ignore the tab when it is there and you know your reading is more than good enough to cope but still you get diverted to the tab, however it simply depends on how much of the book's focus is actually on reading. If you feel the reading is an essential part of mastering the skill you are teaching then maybe the tab should be excluded, however I expect it is more informative on facilitating the target user with improvising and walking basslines, in which case once they have learned the content the reading aspect becomes almost negligible (just guessing). So... maybe include the tab? Also as Jon said, why limit your sales? The kind of person who wants tab is not going to pick up the book and go, 'oh no tab, guess I'll just learn to read for the sake of this' (even though they should but the majority of people won't). However someone who prefers to read standard notation will have no objection to the tab being there... if they are desperate they could just tip-ex it out, and the kind person that refuses to buy the book or dismisses it because of the tab, well there aren't many of them and being that fickle is just silly. Just my two cents, Adam
