There's still the question why do they transpose instrumental songs? A broken turn table? I once listened to an EP from the Ruhrgebiet (I won't name them, they are a "members" of two well known Metal Band and they are assholes ... yes, I personally know one or the other, but I've nothing to do with them and I'm not involved in their legal battles, I just lost a girlfriend, since I wasn't willing to play guitar in one of the bands, just to get money, instead I prefer to have nothing to eat. Hahaha, it was some time before they switched from musical instruments to books about the law. IIRC I already recommended this book: ISBN 0-7119-0015-9 Original Hendrix by Steve Tarshis. IIRC the only weakness of this book is, that it doesn't take care about the pitch, IIRC we need to pitch all strings down one step (for playing with open strings this isn't simply transposing), OTOH I've seen "Soundgarden" tabs in the Internet, that were nearly correct, they simply missed to inform about the fact, that just one string needs to be dropped down ;) and this IMO is a serious issue. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
