Joined: September 2006 Posts: 10777 Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | Two-and-a-half Years Ago... I got a bunch of books from Portland Music before I had a computer. Now I get most of my quick tab/chords from the net, even though I have them in books on a shelf. It's quicker. BTW- Portland Music on SW 10th was dedicated to sheet music of all kinds. Big Bands, Broadway Shows, Musicals... Violin, Piano, Clarinet... Needless to say, They are Gone now. :( I liked that place. Picks, VHS tapes, Tuners, Lessons! And real nice people. | ||

Joined: March 2008 Posts: 2683 Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | Darkbar, I guess that's one of the reasons I'd rather figure them out for myself. The challenge, plus it is MY arrangement. Being a poor singer, I always had to put the melody in there too to make it sound like the song. It taught me how to really play guitar. | ||

Joined: February 2007 Posts: 75 Location: Portland, OR | I have quite a collection of books.. I love using the tab websites, but when I really love a song or album, and want an accurate tab, I just get the book. In actuality though, I love just picking up the random song off of a tab site.. I probably use the web 85-90% of the time, and on those special occassions for a really good album, then I break out the bucks for the book.. Some books I can think of off top of my head include Red Hot Chilli Peppers - blood sugar sex magic, Metallica - that metallica album, A few smashing pumpkins albums, A beck album that had alternate tunings that web tabs never got right, James Taylor greatest hits.. | ||

Joined: August 2005 Posts: 3736 Location: Sunshine State, Australia | About 10 months ago, I bought 4 DVDs from the LickLibrary range - Fretboard Navigator 1 & 2 and 'Guitar Aerobics' beginner & intermediate. In 10 months, I've only looked at the first 10 minutes of beginner aerobics. Just don't seem to get the time to get the TV and DVD player to myself. I also recently bought a lesson on line for 'Never Going Back Again.' It cost me about 3 bucks, but it got me playing a song I've been trying to learn for a decade. I don't play it very good, but that's my fault, not the instructor's. I've also picked up an awful lot of 'pointers' from YouToob. | ||

But I'm about to buy some Fake books with songs from the 30's - 50's to use in playing in Retirement/Nursing homes. | ||

Joined: January 2002 Posts: 14127 Location: 6 String Ranch | Maybe 7-8 years ago, got a Eagles book to learn a few tunes. Now I try to find the chords online for free. usually can. I was never good at figuring things out. After several years of classes and learning some theory it's easier cause you know where it should go to for the changes. | ||

Joined: October 2008 Posts: 489 | Paid? Now I just figure it out by ear, I essentially always did but it wasn't as easy when I was a kid just starting. So I'd just go to music store, find a book with the song that had me stumped, go to the offending part and memorize it, put the book back in the rack and my work there was done. | ||
