I was just wandering, I can proudly say (haha!) that I can tab almost anything by just listening the cd over and over again.
And when searching through these "mod lair" pages, I think 70% of the tabbed songs are wrong. So is it possible to do money with writing perfect tabs (<--does that work?) Or just earn respect from fellow musicians..?!
Well if you wanted to write books you'd have to read standard notation as well. And also, I don't think that's a very rare skill. Or at least, if you're figuring out melodies its not. If you can hear complex chords (pick out the different notes in a bigass altered dominant chord) then you may have something there.
