The time to fight back is now.I play guitar and the best way I have found to learn guitar is by playing guitar tabs that others have worked on.How can any laws be broken if I tab a song myself?This is how we learn when we first start playing guitar,this is how our guitar teachers have done it in the past.Screw the rules,open your minds people.All the NMPA/MPA want is money,that is all the suits care about,money!!! I am going to put up my own guitar tab site and invite guitar players to tab songs they love and put them up for download.Try and find a tab book from the band Cauldron Born,there isn't one.So if I tab songs from that band how am I breaking the law????
Death to the MPA/NMPA and there greed!!!!!!
