For once, (and mark your calenders to celebrate this day, next year), I agree with Don Firth.

Any way, you can get music into your noggin, to roll around, for future compositions, interpretation, or ideas, possibly just input, take it in!

Once again, there are practice exercises that can enable you to grab, what ever you 'hear' in your brain, and onto your fret boards, from the new things you can 'hear' from ALL the input you can get, and retain.
In the studio, we used the term "Containing the Chaos"

There should be no valid excuse that anyone should exclude reading over any other way. If you think you can't 'get it'....YES YOU CAN!
