How do you learn new tracks nowadays? (self.guitars)

Hello!

I'm wondering if things have changed. I started learning guitar in 2010 or so, and back then at school we all had Guitar Pro or something similar and we used to learn by listening to the track and to the guitar pro tab in turns.

I've been seeing a lot of videos about computer virtual amps recently and realised the world of guitar has changed and I've been disconnected from it for a long time. Is the tab/guitar pro method still the popular one? How do you learn?

Since then, I've moved on to 100% by ear because there were no tabs for my artists anyway. But I'm just wondering what the world of guitar learning is like now?

I use tabs (mostly because I'm nowhere near good to enough to learn by ear). Songsterr is my go-to site
