Music should be put back into the hands of the artists. It's amazing that every industry out there can end up corrupt. Alon, I totally agree with that.

For example, it'll probably be a good idea to forbid record companies to condition publishing an artist's music on his/her selling the copyright to them. The least worst situation now would be one in which artists and not the RIAA have the option of deciding whether to sue people who share their music online.

Wow. It's certainly a changing world... Tab books have become obsolete. Sean - Yes!! I actually really, really like MM. I agree with Michele - he says what everyone thinks. He is all about shock - and it works. I love it! Girlatheist, thanks for the comment! Hey, give your son these links - http://groups.google.com/group/rec.music.makers.guitar.tablature http://groups.google.com/group/alt.guitar.tab OLGA put them up for people to visit while they are down (and I can't believe they are still down). Michele, thanks for the comment. I used to "play by ear" when I couldn't get my hands on the Tablature. I even learned to read music once upon a time. I used to play guitar, but I hated those damn scales! And you're right - they are absolutely necessary. So maybe something like this will bring creativity and originality back to music?

Actually, I play bass in an all original band and I must admit I do not remember how to read music let alone have taken the time to learn how to read tablature. Due to my lack of taking some time out and learning how to do these things the music I write is stems from all of my influences, being able to play, and that feeling when you say to yourself, "Wow" this has a really cool vibe. When I was much, much younger we didn't have tablature so we would buy the tape/record and play it over and over, it’s what we call "playing by ear". I must say however that if a person or child it going to learn how to play an instrument the best way is by lessons or at school to get that foundation. Let’s face it no one likes doing scales but is very necessary. I also have played in the past clarinet and trumpet, that is were I received my foundation to explore any other instrument I felt I would like to play. Oh Marilyn Mason says ever thing that every one thinks but does not dare to talk about. He is pure genius, and btw I'll be 41 next month. "The Beautiful People" is now playing in my head, however, "This is the New Shit" kinda sums it all up. LMAO.
