I don't know about the speed and all, but installing a .tar.gz file is certainly more complicated then either

a) copy/pasting

sudo apt-get install fretsonfire

or

b) Going to applications - add/remove, searching for "frets" checking it off, and clicking "Apply Changes"

Lemme know if you'll need help ;)

And remember this - add/remove, "sudo apt-get install", .debs (especially ones from getdeb.net) are a newbies friend, while "sources", .tar.gz, and .rpms aren't.

you have to extract it first then the common procedure is to run a
./configure
make
make install
