I’ve completely changed strumstrum’s interface. Let me know what you think.
I’ll continue to tweak the design over the weekend, so there may be some down time.

Happy playing!

Brandon

Why is this? I don’t have a simple answer for you.

The complex answer is that tabulature is on the fence of legality. Don’t get me wrong, I see absolutely no problem with people sharing guitar tabs. The issue here is that the MPA believes that fan-made tabulature violates copyrights.

I disagree with them 100%. And keep in mind, the artists themselves aren’t even the ones upset.

Unfortunately, going to court is expensive. Really really, expensive. The truth is that the American justice system is setup so that those with the deepest pockets have the greatest advantage. There is no way that I could compete with the MPA monetarilly in court.

Hopefully, one day, the MPA will be overthrown and guitar tabs will be upheld under freedom of speech. Until then my friends… until then…

For starters, I’ve removed the forum. The site is going to be totally focused on providing great blog updates from now on.

Don’t worry, you’ll still find fresh guitar tabs on strumstrum. However, they will be posted on a learn-as-you-go basis; ideally one new tab a day.

Here’s to a better tomorrow!
