Guitar tab and lyrics sites to close

kind of ironic in a way... they want to shut down tab sites to protect current musicians, but then all the thousands of little kids who learn guitar like that simply wont learn and we wont have the same musicians around... I think it may have a negative impact on the industry several years down the track when all the music we will be hearing are from professionally trained a-holes. people who learn by ear or tabs and that have more natural feeling in their music.

...blah "all these tab sites to is enable morons to drag everyone else down with them by posting gibberish tab all over the place. why not try harder" blah ... What a "moron". Most musicians do look up music on the web especially when there isn't a decent published source. It is very easy to replay a melody line as soon as it is heard but transcribing a whole piece is usually excessively time consuming. Hey mozart figure out Bach's concierto in D. I know several children who play it by memory. But they cheated, they had the written music. But the double d is easy, how about a piece by Juan Luis Guerra or just any generic heavy metal group. Not so easy is it? But what would you know? You aren't a musician after all are you? Simply show someone a basic twelve bar blues line? No way, they should spend a week figuring it out. You should be beaten for expressing such moronic opinions. The issue posed by the question is really fair use and personal freedom. In Florida buyers of used CD's have to be fingerprinted. Children are prosecuted as criminals for sharing music. Stupid lawsuits fill the courts. Its not a pretty picture. Music publishing is a monopoly and a fraud. Anybody can attest to the fact that most published popular music is often very poorly written. Obviously tabs are written just to give someone a basic idea and are more or less accurate depending on who did them. Most are not very useful but interestingly quite a few are more accurate than the over priced published music. Its a matter of freedom it is not the stealing of another's work. The moron didn't quite realize these facts. BTW moron, if are going to post in English learn English .

Its basically gross. The fact that the record labels can reach into our own computers and take our music away from us makes me more than a little concerned. Aren't people supposed to fight that kind of thing? Sure we can whine , but what can we do in the real world. send ideas to - www.jakeistheman89@yahoo.com

Why cant you see that these people do no harm? They just want to give us the knowledge of how to play a wonderfull song nomatter what the content. There should be no reason for jailtime to them. If they don't make a profit on these tabs then there should be no trouble.

there are lots and lots of tabs on this website....

the MPAA is not really living in the real world. F*** them, if they can convince themselves that they know how to continue to make money. everybody hates them now, and they will lose...in a battle only they wanted!

they are just greedy wierdo's....don't give them the time of day

My site www.TabRocket.com was closed by lawers two months ago. It was MPAA that was behind the whole thing. :/

they SHOULD NOT be closed because all tabs are just made from more experianced musitions who can figure out songs so that begginers can actually play some of their favourite songs and make the beginning stages learning an instrument fun without spending money on books that they could be spending on there instrument.Closing them down is so F***'n retarted.

I can sort of understand banning music copyrighted in the last 40-50 years, but public domain tabs and sheet music should remain available. What's next - banning lyrics too?

it isnt stealing by tabbing music you hear for other people. as many of these tabs are innaccurate. many bands do not sell tab books. and why doesn't the government work on many of the more important issues like smoking, shoplifting, and murder?

Is there joan jett and the blackhearts taba for I love rock n roll

greedy song writers,why dont they copywrite chords as well,if they think that everybody will start running to the music shop to pay for sheet music,haahahahah , never, there,s allways going to be some one out there putting tabs online, over the years I,ve spent a small fortune on music books and most of them are crap

Internet tab sites SHOULD be shut down. Most the tab on them is wrong, and you'll never get better and figuring it out for youself if you never try.
This is the problem with music. no-one bothers so everyone is medeocre. not a single player campaining to keep tab sites up is able to play, I know alot of good players and none of them think internet tab sites are any good.

all these tab sites to is enable morons to drag everyone else down with them by posting gibberish tab all over the place. why not try harder?


also if you cant figure out enter sandman you should be banned from playing music.
