While the record industry continues to stamp out guitar and music tabs on the internet, the question arises: how can we cope? I sincerely hope that one day, transposers and musicians will be able to freely exchange music on the internet. In the meantime, we can pursue legal alternatives. Of course, everyone would love to be able to play a Hendrix riff on the guitar, and for that, there are sites that provide such tabulature. Fighting the record labels is a task that I would love to pursue - but frankly - do not have the resources required for such a venture.
So what are the legal options for exchanging guitar tabs? The answer is open source music. In other words, music that lies in the public domain. As long as a song is not copyrighted and the transposed tab is an organic product, the tab is free for anyone to use and learn from. Feel free to contact me if you have any open source tabs to contribute! I hope to provide some legal options for learning guitar.
Happy weekend everyone! Keep on rockin!
