Open Letter 2 A Phellow TABber.

Tuesday, November 24, 2009

Subj: nice work on the john mayer tab!
Hey there,
I really like the work you did on TABbing John Mayer’s Human Nature instrumental!
I was working on it too,

and I see all the tab companies are trying to provide about three lines of the melody and calling that the whole thing.
It’s kind of neat that so [...]

Hey Classical Guitarist. Backpain? Get One Of These!

Sunday, October 18, 2009

If you get backpain from using a footstool sometime after 2-3 hours of practicing each day, you know you would do the 4-5 hours a day it takes to be on top of your game if you could, right? Didn’t you used to do that much each day? I did, until backpain came my way.

Tuesday, July 14, 2009

Here’s TAB of John Mayer’s version to Human Nature which he played
at Michael Jackson’s funeral. I began from GypsyFire’s work on his
intro and then added some of the soloing that Mayer does throughout.
(http://www.twitter.com/johncmayer) He repeats many licks for emphasis,
which I don’t notate each time. I mostly put each new phrase “in order
of appearance.”
If you can [...]

Highlight the file and tap Menu>Edit>Copy.
Use File Explorer again navigating to open the “Application Data” Folder.
