Instruments?

[thermal]

I started playing the guitar when I was 15. I was into it for a few years, even got a few gigs with my band. I barely play now and when I do play, It's all about the ol' skool Slayer, Metallica, Pantera...... even GNR, Poison, Skid Row...... stuff that nobody listens to anymore. I stopped playing when the "grunge" scene went away.

Anybody who can play a guitar will get the basics of playing a bass guitar.... so I can say that I do know how to play bass too.... lol. I play drums too but just rhythm.

The question is, can anybody here read music? I cant read music at all. I get all confused with that stuff. I read guitar tabs but I get really impatient. I learn specific songs by listening to the notes and chords and just figure it out eventually......
