There are some aweful tabs out there

[Cerulean]

You should check out this tab for Fragile Dreams haha. It's with sound so you don't have to be able to read tabs. http://www.mysongbook.com/files/a/anath/Anathema - Fragile Dreams.gp3
You need to download guitar pro though
There's some good ones as well though on that site, the tab for Closer is really cool.

hehe i know what you mean that tab is propably the worst in the net...but have u listen to ARe you there?i mean the strings and the drums are almost perfect but the solo guitar is awefull....by the way it suprises me that they are some people outthere using Guitar pro ...so Cerulean

 

[Faelivrin]

i use guitar pro ;] but only to write my songs not to learn from it how to play sth...

 

[french_anatheman]

Yep Closer is pretty cool to play with the guitar.

 

[Cerulean]

I normally don't use guitar pro, I think power tab is way better. This bad Fragile Dreams tab motivated me to tab it myself, so I'm doing it right now on power tab.

 

[Faelivrin]

have fun and good luck!!

 

[Bambi]

yeah theres some right dodgy tabs out there. be careful kids, avoid the ones with strawberries on 'em!!

 

[zupi_clone]

Tabs are a shite way of learning stuff. Proper cop out like. you dont need that for Anathema FFS, its not Dream Theatre like

Not for everything but well.

Without tabs I'd never be able to play songs from Silent Enigma and Eternity because due to the production it isn't always so clear what's being played. Can't play those with tabs either cos the tabs are shit :Smug: Can only play Shroud of Frost, Restless Oblivion and Silent Enigma. But The Beloved, Dying Wish and Radiance for example, are quite impossible for me.

could never read tabs... but the ye olde musical notes are impossible through the net...
if I'm wrong, than plz tell me! by the way I promised a friend of mine to get some of these from Metallica (and things like that), she wants to try if she can play them on her violin

 

[Cerulean]

Ehm, powertabs and guitar pro tabs have notes.

 

[pagan2002]

i used tabs to learn nick drake's stuff. really it was just to get the tunings and an approximation of what to play. then you just make the rest up yourself. its hard reading music i still cant do it.

 

[french_anatheman]

it might be easy to read a 3 chords song, but for the rest...
Hey but some songs with arpeggios and stuff are sometimes hard to transcribe

 

[Loona]

its hard reading music i still cant do it.

I don't find it that hard... okay, I did have problems with it when I started playing the piano at the age of 8... I hated it actually... not playing, but reading

 

[Loona]

okay, it's pretty different with guitar thingies... there are some signs that are the same, but mean totally different in piano and in guitar...
