Michael wrote (in the Guitar Tab: Dive For Your Memory thread): "On the Roddy Frame site they have a whole area dedicated to guitar tabs. Might be an idea for here, Jonathan...?" I've been having some off-line conversation with Paul about this recently. He's sent me a tab for "Surfing Magazines" which you can now find at www.jturner.dircon.co.uk/tab_surfingmagazines.htm What I'd like to do is throw the discussion open about the best way to get tabs up on the site. I'm happy to create some pages for this. My initial thoughts on the easiest way to do this is for people to send tabs through to me for putting up on the site - I'm suggesting this since the formatting might be easier that way than by posting to the message board, but I'm happy for people to do that too - and then have those tabs open for discussion. Any thoughts on that? Once it looks like we've got a "final" version of a song we can move on. Other things for consideration: A separate area on the message board for discussion of tabs? A "house style" for tabs? (I'm not a musician, I don't know if this would be helpful or not). So, let's kick off with "Surfing Magazines" and the others from earlier in the previous guitar tab thread and I'll work on putting them up on the site. Cheers, Jonathan | ||

Oops, sorry Pete, it was you I meant... apologies! I've given myself a good clip around the ear. Jonathan | ||

The Surfing Magazine tab is far more detailed than I had expected. Thanks, Pete! I'll try it this long weekend. And, knowing my abilities, it will take me all long weekend. Jonathan, thanks for being willing to accomodate tabs. I like the idea of a separate board to discuss tab (even if it might not see much action) and having you as the central processing point for posting tab to the site for some consistency and to avoid repetition. A potential problem with that arrangement is how we would decide that the "official" posted tab needs revision - people hear things differently. I don't know the best way to do it, but those are my thoughts. | ||

Can't we put all the muso crap in its own section, as with the lyrics? | ||

Judging from Cassiel's reaction, perhaps the best idea would be to have a seperate tab folder. Thanks for the feedback, John. I know it's detailed but I currently have a lot of time on my hands (perhaps too much) and I've always been a perfectionist when it comes to working out other peoples songs. In fact, that could be the problem with my tabbing - I aim to do note-for-note transcriptions of the recordings as oppossed to the looser and more interprative lyrics/chord charts that Babs and paule recently posted. Neither style's better than the other but I recall when I was learning guitar I liked to see how my favourite artists would play in a certain way. I like to do it every now and again to refresh my approach to playing guitar. Plus, I think the Go-Bs are deserving of a guitar tabs page. Everyone else has got one and Robert and Grant's playing styles are actually interesting. Maybe not interesting enough for Cassiel though. | ||
