What's the big deal, it's not that hard to read music! The spaces- All Cows Eat Grass and the staff Every Good Boy Does Fine. Sharps are a 1/2 step up, flats 1/2 step down. See how easy?

Get lessons....
I've never had lessons and can't read music but have been playing for over 7 years...But I have perfect pitch. As for you saying you have a good ear... I can't say thatll get you very far in the beginning. I REALLY suggest learning to read music and get lessons. I'm starting to learn now because it really is a good thing to know.

Learning to read music is a plus but you can learn without reading music by learning TAB music. LEarn some basic chords and scales first. Go get some basic guitar lessons and go from there. I know how to read music but mostly learned by listening to albums .....over and over and over! Like another said, you have to have a good ear to learn by listening.

if you dont learn to read music, you will be severely handicapped in leaning to play. Do you really want to have to find someone to read music for you every time you have to learn a new piece?
tablature is an option, but its a bad crutch. If you learn only tab you will not be able to read most music.

Guitar tab (tablature) is what you need. It uses 6 lines to represent the strings then numbers on each string to indicate which fret to finger.
Most books and magazines these days show tab and standard musical notation.
