Of course, ears are going to be the most important of your senses in music, but @LievenDV is advocating using all the tools at your disposal. I find sight a very useful adjunct (as I’m sure most beginners do). It allows me to learn more efficiently by looking at the frets and strings until things become automatic. I often remember chords and lyrics by the way they look on a page. A visualisation of the circle of fifths is very handy too.
This does not apply to everyone, as the aphantasia thread discusses.
Touch plays an important role as well, but much more subconsciously, although I can’t think of how smell and taste help me (I only metaphorically stink and have bad taste 
)
