I own a tab site and I think its all a bit mental.. just waiting to see how things progress... Cheers, Sir P GuitarTabBlog.com Hi there,

I agree with you that TABs are not music or a reproduction of the original work but a help for musicians to learn to play without knowing the regular note system. Every guitar player downloads TABs and learns to play the idols music that way. I can't imagine any musician and copyrigthholder would find that it is bad thing. Hi Steve and thanks for your comment.
