Nobody is going to be coerced into buying lyrics books off the industry, and the industry can fuck right off if it thinks its going to try and make me.
However, the fortunate thing is that tabs only really apply to songs using real instruments, which you don't really get much of in our line of music, and only the very large publishing companies are (so far) petty enough to try and start a fight over lyrics. So I think we're safe. |
fuck that.. usually the tabs you see online are ones transcribed by regular people. even if the tabs were note for note with the "official" tab book, the author could just say he has an ear for music and can transcribe it well.
the artist gains nothing if tabs were prohibited, and in my opinion, doing so would stifle the creativity and potential of many beginning musicians who use tab as a tool for learning their instrument.
