That's an interesting gambit to take.  I like it but don't have the
resources to pull it off, wish I did it would make figuring out the voicing
a lot easier and clearly identifying the errors in the tablature if any.

I like to work up the piece on the computer using Harmony Assistant from
Myriad Software  (www.myriad-online.com)

In conjunction with their Virtual Singer software version that comes with
Harmony Assistant, you can work up the piece with vocals and instruments.
Then I record the output to audio cassette tape (record it multiple times
to fill up an entire side of 60 minute audio tape.)  Finally, I go for a
long walk and listen to the tape, hearing the instrumental and vocal parts
over and over, letting it soak into the brain.

It's easier for me to sing or play a piece when it's already in my
subconscious.
