Guitar Tab sites...

OddOneOut	Date: July 20, 2006 @ 2:55 PM this may not be the right forum but... Is it jsut me or can anyone else not get on any guitar tablature sites? I've tried www.ultimate-guitar.com, taborama.com, guitaretab.com and 911tabs.com (a tablature search engine) yet with every one I get 'This page cannot be displayed' I doubt its anything to do with my computer or internet connection, I can get onto any non-guitar tablature site fine. they haven't shut these sites down have they?!

freddemillio	Date: July 21, 2006 @ 6:46 AM Hi O O O, I will give it a try and tell you what I find. Recently the RIAA, the MPA and other organizations have decided to beef up their attacks on guitar tabs sites. Maybe this is a consequence of their recent efforts. This newest crusade is very annoying to me: it seems to say that if you figure out how to play a song, you are not allowed to explain it to someone else for free. If these sites were selling the work of another artist that would be different in my book, but allowing people to exchange instructions for making organized noise on a guitar seems really too much. The next thing we will see is some 16 year old thrown in jail because he explained how to play Smoke On the Water to his neighbor.
freddemillio	Date: July 21, 2006 @ 6:57 AM Here's what I find: www.ultimate-guitar.com = ok,I could see tabs. taborama.com = no connection. guitaretab.com = ok, I could see tabs. 911tabs.com = ok, I could see tabs. OLGA is still on-line and providing tabs. There is another site that I looked at recently which was on-line but had blocked access to the tabs because they had received a nasty letter from the MPA and decided to suspend access while their lawyers thought about the situation. I'm sorry but I can't remember which site this was. Here are some articles on the subject: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/4508158.stm http://www.digg.com/music/MPA_Shuts_Down_Two_More_Tablature_Websites http://www.apcstart.com/site/admin/2006/06/505/mpa-attacks-guitar-tab-websites
freddemillio	Date: July 21, 2006 @ 9:37 AM On the 6:46 post, that should say: .. but NOT allowing people to exchange instructions for making organized noise on a guitar seems really too much.
OddOneOut	Date: July 21, 2006 @ 3:29 PM oooh Its ok now. panic over. Must've been something wrong with their servers yesterday...I can get on the sites now though. Nearly gave me a heart attack lol ^oh and I think thats Taborama you're talking about. I remember being able to get on the site but not access the tabs and a nice long open letter on the frontpage.
Orion	Date: August 2, 2006 @ 7:09 PM the owner of taborama shut the site down!
tracy	Date: August 2, 2006 @ 8:03 PM what about creating a gutiar tab section on this website? would ya'll post your tabs?
Opossum	Date: August 3, 2006 @ 12:35 AM There are a gazillion tab sites, often with some of the same works on each, many with errors or wrong chords, but almost all have quite a few good tabs. I have problems with spyware, viruses, or drive-bys on such sites (not as many as for screen-saver sites, though), but they are always blocked. Blocking the attacks sometimes causes the page to fall out half-way as it is loading, but not always. To those idiots shutting down the sites, they should put on a red cape and fight real crime. And I liked that comment about "listening to a song in your head"...heh.
Fraser	Date: August 3, 2006 @ 12:38 AM Yah... In the states, guitar tab sites are illegal cuz they think if people can just play the music themselves, they dont need to buy the cd! What morons They're being gay and all. Geeze I love living in Canada. Legal for music to be downloaded, guitar tab sites are legal. Instead of going to google.com, go to google.ca, and search for canadian sites.
GreatGooglyM...	Date: August 3, 2006 @ 3:40 AM what about creating a gutiar tab section on this website? would ya'll post your tabs? Depends if you want to deal with lew issues. I have a tab library consisting of about 40 000 (!) Guitar Pro files...
vipband	Date: August 3, 2006 @ 10:09 PM speaking of which, i use powertab, is guitar pro better? never been bothered to try.
GreatGooglyM...	Date: August 4, 2006 @ 4:36 AM Yeah, I prefer GP over PT.
Rikki27	Date: August 4, 2006 @ 10:06 AM NO ONE USE ULTIMATE-GUITAR! THE ADMIN ARE COMPLETE DOUCHES!
GreatGooglyM...	Date: August 4, 2006 @ 10:24 AM lol shut up dude. Shred Forum is teh shit (or at least used to be). Now, what did you do to get banned?
plungerboy	Date: August 15, 2006 @ 6:44 AM Is mxtabs still there. Thats my favourite tab site.
Opossum	Date: August 15, 2006 @ 10:02 AM Last time I looked, I couldn't access much of anything I was looking for on mx. Legal problems, it seems.
kyle-92	Date: October 1, 2006 @ 7:11 AM Go here http://thetabworld.com/
des-olator	Date: February 18, 2007 @ 10:54 PM this really isn't a big deal, for everyone tab site shut down anothe ris made, just like music downloading, if they really were serious about stopping tabs and downloading of music it would be done. They might as well just tell people their not allowed to watch the chords the artists are playing. Ridiculous....
RJP1	Date: April 3, 2007 @ 8:12 PM I think www.GuitarTools.co.uk is going to start up a tabs section... Good lessons and a dedicated guitar forum too, still a small site though, needs helping out a bit!
