How to add Error Bars to PGFPlots graph data that isn't in table form

I am making a graph in PGFPlots, and I have many lines along my axes. My MWE contains two. Each have different error value, and my data are in coordinate form, not in table form. Would I have to readjust my data to fit into table form (and then use the addition of errors like this question?) or is there another way to define my errors with my data in coordinate form?

I am unfamiliar with using a tabular structure for my data in PGFPlots. If I must I will look at other questions on this site, but I would appreciate an explanation for that too.

Here is my MWE:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}

\newcommand{\textsharp}{$\sharp$}

\usepackage{mathtools}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{transparent}

\usepackage[hyphens]{url}

\usepackage{tikz}

\geometry{

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}

};
\legend{E String (Base $f = 82.41$ Hz)}
domain=0:23.04,

{0.0006*x + 13.78};
\addlegendentry{Line of Best Fit - E String}

color=red,

};
\addlegendentry{A String (Base $f = 110$ Hz)}
domain=0:23.04,
samples=200,
color=red,
]
{0.0015*x + 4.49};
\addlegendentry{Line of Best Fit - A String}
\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}


So I decided to switch to an external .dat file for my data points in my graph. I was able to use the method from the question I linked to solve my problem in both linking the tables and compiling the pdf. It also compiles faster this way.
