I came up with an idea today while listening to Kris' and Marcus' new song and I thought I'd post it.

I thought it would be cool if anyone on GMC who has their own songs and wanted to TAB them out or have them tabbed out can share them with everyone else to learn if they wanted.

I think some of Muris' music would be awesome to have TABs for also, meaning music from his album.

So what do you all think, could this work out if Kris approved and made a TAB section where anyone could upload a TAB of their music for others to learn?

Sounds neat to me. Great Idea.

Thanks.

I hope this will work out because I'd like to see what people would add.

Yeah, this would be cool

Good idea, but unfortunately not as simple as it sounds. In my case for example the rights to tab any Blind Guardian song are with my publishers, so I unfortunately can't just tab Blind Guardian songs here without their permission, this is exactly what Kris is trying to solve with them in the moment so I can do some BG lessons here on GMC.

hope we can see some BG lessons...but if the law do not give a green light...I am shore that you can make great lessons based on your expiriance and your great knowledge...

How does it work when people tab out your songs on for example Ultimate guitar.. Do they have to have permission aswell

I think this is a great idea!

Ultimate-Guitar's server is based in Russia so US + European laws don't affect them. In Russia they have hardly any laws against copyright infringement so the Russian goverenment just leave them be.

ok...

cool idea.



so if Kris moved to Russia the problem would be solved?

Nice idea. I'd like to see some tabs from pro musicians like Marcus and Muris...learning from a better musicians is one of the good things that a musicians have to do.

I think this could just be a part of the uploads board, I don't think it needs a sub-board, good idea non the less

It is a nice idea, if instructors are willing to give away tabs of their music!

lol, Nice one at lights end xD

sounds great .good idea

Well hopefully Kris can solve the problem and get GMC the rights to those tabs.

Would this count people who don't have a record deal or and album, just something they wrote?

This is a great idea. Unfortunately, I did not write "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" - that's about all I can offer to tab with my current skills!

I've made some classy blues licks I can contribute with

Yeah.

Kris, what do you think about this?

That's infact kinda weird ( I do understand copyrights and stuff )
You write your own great music but you dont have permission to show how to play it =s

What if you would write some new stuff in Blind Guardian style which isn't publiced as a song yet, then you would have permission to show it to us right?

Mark.

Yeah that does seem to work out pretty weird?

Its not wierd - its a business transaction. At its simplest, you give up some or all of the rights in retirn for the record company to sponsor your recording and publicity, in the hope that you both make money out of it. The Record company puts in money, you put in your intellectual property.
