it also mentioned that most of the tabs aren't totally accurate. which i find to most often be true.unknown said:I saw that article and posted it on a similar board I frequent. An interesting point made in the article, was the webmaster of a tab site said something to the effect of the majority of the tabs on tab websites are by artists who don't even have tab books out.

.... riiiiiiiiiiight.
Y'know, Chuck Berry, Elvis, Chubby Checker, Muddy Waters and Buddy Holly are all losing a lot of money! We should all buy their official music books, the ones they get paid for.

Only if the artist actually tabs it themself do they get a cut.
Pretty Interesting.
