Tabs or tablatures are a way to help guitarists read music. The basis of tabs is that you see exactly
where your fingers should be on the fretboard. Like this: Here in FreezeZone
this is the way all the tabs will (or at least should) look. The strings are
in the order you would see if your guitars neck would be laying on the table.
Little e is the high e and capital E is for the lower e-string. If the song
has different tunings (ie. dropped D) you can see it from the tabs straight
away. I strongly suggest that you use chord labels on the tab, since it makes
the reading a lot easier. If you can and will, bar lines are also very good.
There are many ways to write tab, but there's no right one. Since the ascii
- system is a bit limited, people use different marks to mark different effects
such as vibrato or slide. Here's few I like to use: As I said, these
are not the right nor the wrong ones, just what I like to use. I try to go by
the rules you find in the tabs newsgroups, but sometimes their markings are
bit obscure... I try to make my tabs as easily understandable as possible...
I also like to write something about the song at the top of the tabs, since
the song usually have somethings you might wanna know or explain. I also always
(if possible) mention the name of the album, the year it was released and the
writers. You must remember that all of our tabs and all the other tabs around
are NOT real transcriptions, or in any way approved by the band. All the files are
their author's own work and represent their interpretation of the song. You
may only use these files for private study, scholarship, or research. All transcriptions
on this site are the property of FreezeZone and cannot be used on any other
website, ftp site or archive witout permission from FreezeZone or the tabs author.
Hopefully this
clears out some things about this site and the tabs as a whole. Enjoy the music
and don't be afraid to send your transcriptions in!
In FreezeZone
all the tablatures are in separate text-files to make sure it's easy
to see them, read them and to save them. If you want to send you own tabs
to FreezeZone first check that the song your sending hasn't been transcribed
yet. If you have a correction send it in and we'll see if it's nessecary
to post the correction. If the song
you're sending hasn't been transcribed, send it to iceman_ai@hotmail.com
. Attatch the text file to your message. Use the name of the band and
the song as the subject, so I'll know what the mail is about. I'll check
the tab, make corrections if nessecary and send the corrected version
for you to approve. If you agree with me, I'll post the tab on FreezeZone
for all to enjoy. It's that easy. So keep the tabs coming and we'll make
this the best tabs site on the net! Mail me if
you have any questions or need help in writing tabs. I'll try to help
the best that I can. |
