60s Tabs\Lyrics\Chords Of A Tabber Who's Passed
Download all you want but please put any tab you get from here in Courier New
size 10. This will keep the chords and lyrics aligned. Courier New has the same
spacing as a typewriter and so it keeps the things in their original place. If you
download a mis-aligned song, more that likely, making the font a courier new size 10
will put it right.
Cut to the chase, click the TABS menu button and get tabs
Or read this dribble.
If you play guitar, then you know what tabs are.
For those of you who don't - it's lyrics, chords and notes to songs
written down so guitar players can learn to play the song.
The most sought after tab is the one that was tabbed up against the recording.
This means the tabber sat with the recording and figured out the chords from
the recording. You need a very good ear. You need either a musical education
(theory) or years of playing before you can even hope to be good at it.
Beginning to advanced guitar players look for tabs that are notated
with what's on the recording and NOT some tabber's random chording.
If they wanted that, they would have that tabber's music CD.
Guitar players want what they are hearing on the recording
This dead guy tabbed like that and he was very good at it. I also
tab songs this way. I too, am very good at tabbing tunes.
(Friends told, "you can't say that and then not post your tabs."
Ok, ok, tabs marked with (asf) are mine. Look at the Gary Lewis for them.)
It was great to see that someone else could tab songs as well I
so I wanted to chat with him via email. Nothing lengthy, just a couple
of emails. To my surprize, this dead guy had a very dark side.
He was rude, nasty and arrogrant. I've chatted with other people who
claim to know him and they claimed he had a very short list of people
he was "supposedly" nice to. But the unfortunate rest of the world
got his full blast of anger. Just because he died didn't lessen
my hate for him, good bye to bad rubbish I say. BUT........
Here I have created a web site that will house his tabs. You
have got to ask yourself by now, why?
I went online looking for the Mamas & Papas tune, Dream A Little Dream Of Me.
I found a ton of them. All in different keys and plenty of guess work chording.
I found this dead guy's rendition but his name had been removed. They
wrongly corrected an Ao to a A6. Ao is a diminished chord symbol, guess
they didn't know that. It was tripled spaced and the chords were misaligned.
It was sad to see his work like this. Then I got curious about the state
of his other tabs so I went hunting. Mostly I found more of the same sad
condition with them as I found with his rendition of Dream A Little Dream Of Me.
I felt that there has to be at least one safe place online for his tabs.
Somewhere where what he wrote stays original. Back in 1997 I downloaded
a lot of tabs from his personal web site. I put them on floppies.
His web site is gone and so is his collection of tabs. The tabs are
scattered all over the internet in various archives and many of them
are in disarray.
So this is not a shrine to this dead guy, ok?
So why this web site? I created this Dead Guy's Tabs web site
to maintain the original written tabs of Andrew Rogers.
His tabs need at least one safe place online where they stay his originals even
if he was a rude, mean, arrogrant, hateful person.
If you have any original work by him please send it to me for archiving here
Update: I am finding archives now that keep the lyrics and the chords in the original
places. I will post the URLs soon.
