Please, no more beatles, please; at least not for a while.

What's wrong with the Beatles then ? Is that the view of the majority ? or just yourself ?

It seems that on a daily basis there is usually a beatles song in the list of most popular views, so I figure that people know and love the songs.

After all, people learning and trying to improve their playing skills often choose tunes they know, that way, they know if they are playing them correctly.

Beatles songs are widely known, as opposed to some old folk tune that grand daddy used to play to his dog, out on the porch, and no one has ever heard of anyway. Its all very well posting hundreds of obscure traditional folk songs, but if no one knows what they should sound like, whats the point ? apart from being high on the list of tab posters.

When I look at how many views the Beatles tabs get, it seems obvious that people want to see them. With all due respect to your obvious skills in posting vast quantitys of tabs, Ive hardly heard of a single song you post.

Maybe other members have ? does anyone agree ?

p.s

please, no more traditional/Irish/folk/scottish, please, at least not for a while

Hey!

Let's all tab the songs we love!

Let's have all kinds of music!

Let's have ALL kinds of music.

Please post whatever your heart desires. Just because one doesn't like a song doesn't mean nobody likes the song. There are lots of songs I don't know on here. I don't view them if I don't know them. Somebody else may enjoy the song I don't know. To each his own. Tab what you like. Play what you like. It's about the harmonica. I'm sure there is something for everybody on this site because people continue to post all types of music.

Right!

All kinds of music for all kinds of people.

Post YOUR kind of music.

Somewhere out there, there is a person-just one person-searching for harp tab to a song that hardly anybody's heard of. He's just about to give up looking when he stumbles onto this site, and VIOLA...I mean... VOILA! He finds it here!! He Plays it for his drinkin' buddy, and his drinkin' buddy says, "Howju lwe..lun..lern da play dat!?"...


Meanwhile, there's somebody else out there looking for harp tab to a song everybody's heard-maybe a Beatles song. He's just about to give up looking when...


Tab 'em & post 'em folks.

Nothing wrong with The Beatles but I agree tab what you like. When I first found this sight there were less than 1000 tabs, now look at the variety! Keep up the great job guys!

Tom

Absolutely nothing wrong with the Beatles !! there is bound to be lots of their material on here, They have a huge body of work, just like Dylan, Stones etc etc, and you often need different versions such as chromatic as well as diatonic. Why only last week, someone posted a great tab of "Shes Leaving Home" it made me dig out Sgt. Pepper and learn it. A wonderful tune !! cant go wrong with the Beatles. I agree with other posts, Tab what you like.

KEEP POSTING THEM BEATLES TABS, I KNOW I WILL WHEN IM NOT SO BUSY.

WE ENGLISH LOVE EM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can play more beatles songs that anything else. Almost everybody knows them and in themselves there is a great variety from teen pop to psychedelic. Since they are such well know songs and many of them simple, they are great for the harp at all skill levels.

Andy, you should click on my name, and see the entire list of what I've
posted; and not just recently. There's more than what you think.
That is the bulk of what I have here recently, along with other things
such as a little Waylon Jennings, and a little Hank Williams, and George
Strait; just to name a few people that I've posted in the last week or so.

No one has heard of any of my material? Is that everyone, or just
yourself? I'm sure that just as many have heard of Waylon and Hank.
What about the other artists I've posted in the past?

The older stuff, you have no idea about how many people have heard
of them. There's more folkies out there than you think.
That's the whole point-a of me posting the tunes by the folkies. They might be looking for more folkie-tunes for their collection, and will find them
here, hence the timing that is included in some of the tabs, so they know
what it sounds like when they try to learn them. Not all of them have the
timing yet, but it I will do that.
The folkies just have to find this site.
The whole point-b is to bring to attention that these tunes still exist, and
that it is time to bring them back out.
Broaded the musical horizons, and open the doors to forgotten and
some-what remembered music.

Post the music you like.

Variety is a good thing.

We need all kinds of music here!

Music is a personal thing. People like what they like.

Let's have something for evoryone!

mac,

I didnt mean to offend you, If I did I apologise. I was was only speaking hyperthetically about your folk music, I came back with "no more folk" because you said "No more Beatles" I like folk music and often go to local folk nights when I can find one, in the pubs and clubs near me. I know you have posted good music, I play it my self, I have printed off a few of your fine tabs. Just got annoyed when you said "no more Beatles tabs" thats all, Some one obviously spent time and effort putting the Beatles tabs together, even if you don't want anymore, maybe others do. I learned to play the harp using lots of Beatles tunes. Please accept my apology, This seems a nice freindly site. Look forward to seeing your tabs. I have some Beatles tabs I may post in the near future LOL,

ps

Just out of Interest, Why do you not want any more Beatles ? you never said.

It would be great if folks could post links to midi or other sample files of the songs they tab. I don't know a lot of folk music, but would like to play more of it, but I tend not to want to track down a midi file for every single tab that gets posted. It is especially helpful if it's a song that goes by more than one name or has multiple versions, or if it's a rare song.

Keep on posting what you like. I could be wrong, but I think magc1 was probably joking a bit when he said no more Beatles' songs.
-Marc

I was joking a little bit. It kind of raised my eyebrows to see them on
the main-page every day, knowing that there's other artists who's names
could be on the site every day as well.
The other mainstream pop stars I see every couple of days on the
main-page; such as Bob Dylan, as an example.

Even though I know that there is some harmonica in the beatles; that isn't
what they were best known for, and I figured that the artists who
regularly include the harmonica in their songs would be seen more
often on the main-page.

Bob Dylan includes it pretty much all of his songs, though some he doesn't,
and Willie Nelson often has the harp heard in the background, or in solos.
Huddie Ledbetter aka "Leadbelly" and Robert Johnson are excellent
sources for harmonica music.

It's cool to learn what you're familiar with and like, it makes it easier to
learn the harp; but it's also good to see the music that the harp would
be the best accompaniment for.

That's why this site is so unique, because every other site has someone
different in the "Today's Most Popular" section, every day.
I was just trying to figure it out.

It seems that songs in the All Time 10 Most Popular Songs seem to be in Today's 10 Most Popular Songs most of the time.

This is just the way it is here. As long as the Today's 10 Most Popular Songs has existed this has been true.

The fact is that 'that that lives on the front page tends to stay on the front page'.

When a new song is on the front page it has a good chance to be in Today's 10 Most Popular Songs. When it is bumped off the main page by new songs it falls out of Today's 10 Most Popular Songs.
