No, it doesn't really. Because it's backwards: it is easier to learn a song by listening to it than by reading the music! One needs training to read music -- I can't sight-read -- and it helps to have perfect pitch, too. Whereas anybody who isn't tone-deaf can learn a song by listening to it.
Let's try for a different analogy.
Consider Origami. Anybody can fold paper, right? And for some Origami designs, you can figure them out just by looking at a picture of the finished work. For others, it's "how the heck did they do that?" Why is that so? It's because the folds are hidden by other folds, and you can't see what folds were made in what direction and what order.
A tutorial is like unfolding the Origami to show how it was made.

There you bullies!!! I did it! I submitted my first tutorial for Not Tao 5 and if you don't like it you can do better yourself. 
Just kidding.  I am always looking for input so tell me how I can do better next time. I have another in the works, but there are too many projects on the desk at this time.

I just took a look at it, and the text looks great. The photos weren't showing up, but maybe that's because they haven't been processed by the server yet or some such.

I did have some problems with the pictures not showing up on the Preview, but they did show at the bottom saying they were uploaded. If it continues to be a problem let me know and I will figure out what lame brain thing I did.

They're really rolling in now! This is great. Four new ones and a few in the queue. Keep em coming!
There is no such thing as weave ownership. If someone produces a weave sample, they own that physical piece of mail, but not rights to the weave pattern itself.

I made one for Back to Work the other day. I think it is up now.
I am not the best at tuts, so I like to try some of the easier ones. Maybe I can work up to the harder ones that I have been able to figure out on my own.
Maybe I will do a tut for the Alternating HP 3-1 thing. I had a hard time figuring that one out, but now that I have, it is easy and one of my favs |
