    That is a drag, but look on the bright side...it will give you an opportunity to really develop your ear. Before tabs, people learned songs by figuring them out with their ears :)

    Listening is more important than technique.
    that was my first thought.

    i can live without tabs

    and the lawsuit might even be correct in going after those sites,... maybe a little skewed...

    I don't think tabs will disappear,,, but there probably will be a licensing fee, or a fee to download, which hopefully will trickle down to the artist.

    They always sound off loud when they start a lawsuit like that to put the scare into the defendant. I bet they'll settle something.

    I never even USED tabs! Maybe I'm backwards, but it's easier to just play it for me than read those little numbers, and they never seem right to me anyway.

    Like you say, I learned by listening. I wore out and scratched more damn copies of John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton playing that damn Beano record over and over to learn those licks!

    Dah dah dah dah DAH! Scratch,,,rrrrrrrrrriiiiipppppp.

    Yesterday I pretty much figured out a song by ear, just the basic chord progression though, and how to play/improvise with that. It's a song by Thomas Dybdahl, an amazing Norwegian guy.

    So that was pretty cool. Then I wrote it down and sent it to a fan site, so they can put it up there for my fellow fans :p:D

    Wow, that is so sad...

    My 12 years old son loves mxtabs.com and has been addicted to it for a long time.

    We noticed it improved his guitar skills and he loves to share feedbacks with other people on the internet....

    I wonder if he just thought the site was down temporarily....

    The first thing he does when he gets home from school is going to mxtabs.com with his guitar.

    This reallly makes me mad as a mom. :mad:

    i would probably suggest the fretplay site as it is still up and has mostly the same content as mxtabs, hope that helps
