Title: Guitar Tabs
Post by: Luke on January 24, 2003, 09:59:54 PM: so I know weve got some guitar players here, and i was wondering if you all get into reading tabs like ive been the past few nights?

One of my best freinds is a seriously bad ass guitar player and he\'s never even looked at tabs... but on the other hand, I\'m having a great time with em.

It looks like my lifelong dream of being a one-man AC/DC cover band is finally gonna come true. tonight i learn "jailbreak"

off i go!

"were gonna make a jaaaaaaaaaaaaailBREAK"!

Bon Scott ruled, and ruled hard.

Their 80\'s+ songs weren\'t half as good as their early works.

I download the tabs i need at http://www.mysongbook.com and load them into the program and it plays them for you... in great detail.

you can even use it to create your own tabs.

Title: Guitar Tabs
Post by: (e) on January 24, 2003, 10:34:45 PM: Free actually I believe. My friend creates some beats on it.

And yes tabs are godlike, it makes learning any instrument (im begginning drumming) so much easier and fun. Screw all that fancy crap, keep it simple, so you can play the music anytime, anywhere, any skill level/

Post by: Luke on January 24, 2003, 10:37:10 PM: see i learned drums without ever reading any kind of music at all, tabs or anything, and i turned out pretty damn good if i do say so myself, so im wondering if useing tabs is gonna hurt me in the longrun by not allowing me to develop my own real style of play.

im getting a little deep here i guess.

Post by: (e) on January 24, 2003, 10:38:52 PM: nah, tabs are so much better than notation, what ever the hell you call it.

Just create a blank tab sheet. with nothing on it. and start creating beats, print out about 10 pages of those blanks, when you get an idea for a song, writte it down. their you have it.

Post by: Luke on January 24, 2003, 10:43:20 PM: well, when i have an idea for a song i just record it... yes, im that wonderful.

Post by: Coredweller on January 25, 2003, 12:56:46 AM: The kind of tablature people publish on the internet is usually pretty crappy in my opinion. When all you can use is characters like - | 3 - 1 etc, then you can\'t really notate the duration of the notes. You can\'t play a melody if you only know the pitches and what sequence they go in. You need to know the durations as well.

That\'s why standard notation is necessary ALONG WITH tab. I think that the standard notation staff, with a 6 line tab staff below is the best form of notation for guitar. Classical guitarists can perform without tab, but for the rest of us ordinary humans, tab is quite necessary.

Post by: theomen on January 25, 2003, 02:42:57 AM: The way I counter act not knowing the melody is to download the song, and read the tabs while listening to the song.

then I just whale on the strings, I\'m all like jug jigga jug jigga jug jigga jahjah, jigdy jug jigga juj, jugjug.

Same here you can adjust the tempo so if your a shitty beginner like me its easier to pick up a song. And unlike ordinary tab the it\'s easier to pick up how a song should be played because you can hear how long a note should be held.
