I think modern tablature that does not use some means to indicate rhythm 
and note duration (i.e., much-most of it) is only one step up from 
worthless.  You cannot play a piece of music as its writer intended from 
tablature that does not specify rhythm and note duration without fairly 
intimate familiarity with the sound of it.
