Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 99% of the time I try to work it out for myself, but I've always figured this was one of the things the internet was useful for in a pinch. Internet Sharing of Chords, Lyrics Targetted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 this happened between 6 and 10 years ago. All of the websites that had any lyrics were targetted and ordered to lose the lyrics.It was stupid then, and it quietly all came back. I would love to sit down with the idiot that ultimately thinks that sharing lyrics/chords can be controlled.It's not like the tabs and chords are accurate, nor can they be used to accurately reproduce any of the music out there.

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted December 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Exactly; last Thursday with all the Lennon tunes floating around, I heard a few that I wanted a direct bead on, and most of them were in the wrong key. These sites are a first step at best; if you actually know what you're doing, then you avoid them altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonyak Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 (edited) I rarely if ever use internet tabs.the only times I d use them is to just get the basic idea of what a song is doing so that I can then figure it out myself.I was wondering when they would try to do this though.

Schwa. Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 as a beginner, it is handy because every 4 chord campfire song is on there somewhere. And Dr. i ran into the same exact thing with the lennon, i looked up "hide your love away" and two different sites had the wrong key (assuming one was copied from the other as often happens "netwide" ) just threw it away and figured it out myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted December 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Figuring it out yourself is always the way to go . Sometimes you end up with a tip or even an inversion that makes you think, which I think is the best value you can get out of it. "Jealous Guy" I had rattling around in my head in an A when it turned out to be in G, but I got voicings that were pretty satisfying. Sure, I could have eventually found those out later rather than sooner, but then there are only so many days in one's life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooly Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 i like the lyrics though, its nice to be able to print em and get em down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcO Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 take away the chords if you have to but leave the lyrics, those I find really useful to find online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skelter Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 i heard the RIAA is putting covert agents in national parks, and everytime someone plays a song around the campfire, they're gonna jump out and charge him a royalty! Plus the friends sitting by enjoying the song will be charged a listening fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcO Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 are we still taxing cassette tapes so people won't tape their LPs for their Sony Walkmans?that'll kill the recording industry - CONFIRMED!HOW YA FEELIN'??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djmelbatoast Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Yeah, for the most part the chords are wrong but there are a few sites like rukind.com and mybackpages that are for the most part dead on. I don't think I would have had the patience to learn Shakedown Street on my own but now I can rock the shit and teach it to a whole band. Besides learning something by ear dosen't neccisarily make it better. If you were playing with someone something that was really complicated and they asked you what chords they were playing and they just turned their back to you and said guess, you would think they were a dink and you would be right.It doesn't matter how you learn a song, it's how you play the fucking thing.
