17. Au contraire, mon frere!
There's nothing wrong with tab IF one develops his/her EAR along with the tab. I'd say, don't just learn "licks," learn positions and scales. If you learn a melody from tab, try figuring out the positions in a different key.

Also, those software programs that slow down a song without changing the pitch are wonderful tools.
