it seems may legal issues sa mga tablature vs mga true music sheet kaya di na pwede maka kuha ng tabs as easy as before. it seems to be copyright issues. nalulugi ang music sheet business. wahehehe.

[donoman]

hehehe.. onga. luging lugi sila. kahit yung mga xerox na tabs matagal tagal na rin akong hindi nakakabili...

 

yung www.ultimate-guitar.com marami pa rin tabs dun... hehehe

tabs are for people who dont trust their playing.

tabs are for people who dont know how to play but have the desire to learn. it help build their ability, their confidence to have them do it on their own. create their own style. their own technique. like training wheels on a bicycle. you are bound to it 'til you have the confidence to do it your way.

if I may add, tabs are also for people who hasn't had their ear "trained" yet or for those people who just don't have the time to riff and figure out by ear the song especially if its really complicated. don't get me wrong, there's nothing to be ashamed about it. it's a good start, but don't confine yourself to what's written. diversify your riffing throughout the fretboard and remember to "pronounce" your technique clearly for each part.

[jay_lanz]

i'll let you guys in on a technique that I do.

 

for those who are up to the challenge of learning songs by ear (especially 120 bpm 140 bpm solos):

 

first, get an mp3 copy (whether you bought it or ripped it off, i dont wanna know) of the song you'd want to learn.

 

second, download WINAMP at the site.

 

third, download Pacemaker Plug-In (link: Pacemaker).

 

once you've done, just cross the "i"s and dot the "t"s. then, double-click winamp, click start plug-in, and you're all set. vary "tempo" to figure out by ear and slow down petrucci solos without changing the pitch. as you progress, increase the tempo once you get the hang of it. very good for drills and practice by yourself.

 

pitch function is very useful too. you can set any song's recorded tuning to you current guitar tuned setting in case you do a lot of drop tunings like myself.

 

speed is just combination of the tempo and pitch function.

 

have fun!

Do any of you guys own a Parker Fly? Is it worth that i will part with my Strat and Tele for this?

[stankyou]

Mukha namang maganda ang Parker Fly although I don't own one. Yun nga lang para sa akin pangit ang shape ng body at headstock ng Fly. I would have it as a back up or studio guitar maybe. Keep your Fenders. Classic na yan. You cant go wrong with those guitars. Go sell you kidney na lang.

[orionpax]

Wag naman yung kidney yung RJ Jazz Bass at Raon Acoustic na lang
