internet tabs are the lamest thing ever 90% of them arent even right they just sound like the song

and you want to play something that sounds completely different? your a fucken douchebag.

oh and none of the tabs work on taborama.com. theyre all there but when you open one it says the tab has been removed for copyright infringment and tells you to buy official sheet music

I use Powertabs.net, it's so nice... DL the editor, then whatever song you want, and it prints off as sheet music, actual sheet music, very nice in my opinion... anyone else use it?

Sucks for me, I play drums and would always refer to tabs when trying to figure out fills. The music industry is gay as hell. There aren't any other decent drum tab sites out there..................gahhhhh

my point was that it is better to figure it out yourself and have it be right than to save 15 minutes and not get better at playing and have it not even be right im not trying to be a douchebag

Even if it's not correct, what the person does write is probably something that you have never played before and thus you're still expanding your skills.

fuck thats bullshit man, whats up with that? like that article said, almost no bands actually have tab books that you can purchase. And i really doubt any band out there actually cares if somebody is playing their songs

is everyone blessed with a musical ear to know exactly whats being played?? no. i use tabs when learning new songs. i know sometimes theyre wrong but they give good bases to start on then just try and fix what you think is wrong. tabs arent a terrible thing.

how in the hell is it illegal to tab out songs? Its not the artisits direct work, its just the tabber's best interpretation of the song. Thats like saying we cant sing a song or say the artists name in front of other people. Theres no reason for this to be illegal.

ha, youre an idiot. we look up tab so that we can learn it fast, and get a general interpretation of the song. ive figured out a lot of songs by ear. this isnt a contest to see who is the best guitarist. haha, "Lyke.. U guyz CaLl urSelzz GEETArisTZ?! LoL!!!1!1one!"

i thought that article only pertained to sites that actually took the sheet music and scanned it in. mxtabs and others are just people posting their own way of playing. Im not sure if that is the cause and i sure hope not. fuckin riaa, being bitches
