Not to sound dogmatic but I would suggest learning notation also at some point so that you can read the original sheet music. It will open up an entire world of what the composer wanted to express apart from just the notes.

Yeah I am learning standard notation and I do look at the standard notation for pieces to look at the instructions from the composer. I mean, I can read music but and I could figure out how to play baroque music from standard notation, I would just be glacially slow.

I'm still working my way through Sor etudes so I learn the fretboard.

I used to play classical guitar - not anymore. I fondly remember the Sor studies.
