More specifics will make this sire more popular

I think we should concentrate on getting specific pieces on tab. For instance someone may be looking for the lead part to "I don't even know her name'. If that sort of thing were available it would boost the sites popularity. Don't you agree?

i'm not exactly sure what you mean. but if it's what i think it means then it sounds like a good idea.

If you mean tabs for specific songs , you can get that from a tab site ...

This site is mainly focused generaly on techniques & a little theory , not specific songs.

There could be legal issues w/that
Technically that stuff is copyrighted material and government agencies have been known to shut down sites that post tabs of artist material.

This site's focus is more on bragging than technique. Sure I have seen some very good players here on this site. But people who want to learn to play want to know where these so called techniques go.And for the guy that replied about copyright, only copyrighted material is censored. Guitar tableature is not copyrighted material. There are no royalties being paid on how to play the song. It is when you obtain material that is copyrighted like an album or single which is sold in a store and royalties are to be paid on that gets sites shut down.Let me put it this way, If anyone is looking for a specific lead part to a song contact me. If i don't know it I'll either learn it or find someone who can. I am not a awesome guitar player I am just a player.I play a very disciplined style of guitar not freestyle.I like to sound as close to the radio as possible and my fans thank me for it.All I am saying is let's open our selves up to helping other people get what they want.

What ? A TAB is a person's visual interpretation of guitar notes in a song. Just as a band playing "covers" is their own interpretation of a song - now if they record and sell it, they must pay royalties to the music company owning the rights. If you reproduce a TAB from someones copyrighted book or another site etc. - that's infringement. I have TABS on my site of leads and intros from songs - they are copyrighted material - by me, I made them.

Sites like Napster and Kazza are the ones the music industry is after. Napster was sued - And a Fedral Judge just authorized the U.S music industry the right to file suit for copyright infringements against Kazza's parent company.

And if you sell those tabs to make a profit it's infringement. But if you put on those tabs that " this is my iinterpretation of the song then it is not infringement. Otherwise everyone who played covers in a band could be sued for infringement.When you see a tab and use it you always put your own little styles in it to make it suite you right? Geez guys all i am sayiong is it could be a learning tool. noone wants to get tabs from this site and claim them as their own songs.OK. HERE'S WHAT I AM SAYING. HAVE A LINK DESIGNATED FOR REQUESTS FOR SPECIFIC SONG LEAD PART OR EVEN GUITARISTS. tHIS LINK WOULD BE TO REQUEST ANYONES INTERPRETATION OF HOW THEY WOULD PLAY THAT PART. COPYRIGHT JEEZ GUYS EVERYTHING IN THIS SITE COULD BE COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT. IF SOMEONE WERE PROFITING. bUT FOR LEARNING OR TEACHING IT IS NO DIFERENT THAN BUYING A BOOK AND THEN TEACHING SOMEONE ELSE WHAT YOU LEARNED FROM THAT BOOK.

SweetMusicMan196 - sounds like a good idea, but I think guitaretab.com has a monopoly on that sort of thing. They have nothing but songs and leads to songs etc.

Dude, Tab sites are all over the net ... Whether they are general archieves or artist specific... Some of them have very large archieves that I believe they almost don't miss a thing.

I believe this site was meant for techniques & tricks ... I mean you get a tab, and in a section of it you read something like P.H. , Sweep , 2-handed Tapping , etc. and you don't know what does that mean ... So you come up here , search for it and read some essays with tab lines (& hopefully a soundfile too) about learning how to do it .

And if you didn't understand the essay on the topic you want, you can just get here to this forum and discuss it with other members.

Yeah, You're right about that, Seems to be hard to resist don't it, Hey Sweetmusicman196, I'm cracking on you, I don't know how much of this site you have checked out, but 90% of what goes on here is helping others to understand tab, music theory, equipment, technique, etc, etc....so I for one, do not get your point............

I don't think guitartricks should go into this whole guitar tab thing. There's still a whole legal issue that I don't think GT should get into. Over the years I've seens tons of tab sites closed because of legal suits. Most of them had something to do with posting the lyrics in the tabs which is illegal because the lyrics (as you might know) is copyrighted.

We've had this discussion in the past and came to the same conclusion. It's not worth risking the legal suits since the site has his own purpose. Like pstring said, most of the tricks are leaning toward helping out, not showing off.

That's my 2 cents anyway

i'd say that's worth at least three cents

Ok Ok You guys sold me. But I would still like to be able to ask someone for help on a specific piece. I think that everyone would be willing to offer help in that respect if they could. I know I would. Anyway Piece out. Oh and by the way what i know on the guitar does not compare to a drop in the bucket to anyone that i have seen so far on this site. So i look forward to learning and teaching here on my new home on the web.....Later

Sure dude , just check out the "Technique & Style" section and ask about any specific riff you wanna know how to play it ... And the "Music Theory" section if you need some theoretical song analysis.

Alan Jackson is the artist. Brent Mason is the session player along with Brent Rowan and others but I am looking for Brent mMasons part in the song.

If you want tabs, just go to any one of the hundreds of tab sites on the internet.
The one thing I like about this site is the originals and the excellent and experienced guitar players here.
I'm still amazed that there's people who come here regularly that have never checked out any of the hosts sections.
Name one other site that teaches you as much about things like shredding, tapping, recording techniques, country picking etc... and it's all FREE.
