Ya. And blow up the homes of all record executives. Fuckers. :mad:

all you fucks except Aja can fuck off. I am quite likely the only person here who earns a living out of teaching guitar.(correct me if i am wrong). Powertabs.net is/was a brilliant site, that ALL the teachers I know (and I know lots) used frequently. The whole sight reading vs tablature argument is, quite frankly, irrelevant to this topic, as guitar tab is far superior to notation in regards to most 'rock' music. Tell me when classical guitar starts selling again, eh?
Tabs convey far more information than notation, EXCEPT FOR CLASSICAL, but who wants to learn that these days? Slides, harmonics, bends are all much easier to visualize in tablature, and I fucking know, I have been teaching for a good while now. I am not denigrating sight reading, dont get me wrong its an invaluable skill as a musician, but tablature is just as relevant.
The bad thing with most internet tab sites is they are crap ---2--2 shit, with no rhythm markings, whereas powertabs is AS GOOD as notation, with full rhythm, dynamics etc. I would hate to see that site go, mainly cos I am lazy, and as fett said, when you have to learn 100's of songs, you just aint got time to sit down and ear it.

also fuck you I am writing this from an internet kiosk in Cairns and Shug is gonna get a midnight arse visit from the TABKING. fucking scroll pads they really suck arse.

That's what I'm saying - it's real conveinent to criticize tabs when you're some little fuck sitting off in your room memorizing the new Metallica song note for note to impress your friends. It's another thing entirely to try and sell beer, keep club owners happy, and play requests at the drop of a hat, while keeping track of your 700 song repertoire. You need a cheat book, you need online lyrics (fast!), and you need tab. Anyone that doesn't either plays everything badly, or is such a fucking genius, why the hell are you playing in a cover band to begin with?

Everyone who plays in a cover band should probably be asking themselves this question anyway.
I don't really approve of heavy-handed copyright enforcement, but if this action forces people to get off their lazy asses and start writing their own original material, I'm not gonna be criticizin'.

There are so many things wrong with your post it's like we're discussing your ex again.

English lessons from the guy who can't even capitalise his sentences. How quaint.

And the whole world shouts: "What misogynist rage?"

So sue me if I have an intense dislike of covers bands. If I want to hear "Smells Like Teen Spirit", I'll put a Nirvana track on the jukebox. What I don't want is to see all-time classics reduced to a formless dirge by someone barely out of puberty who thinks he's God's gift to music.
