Would there be more demand for this if it was a newer album? Is this something that'll just end up on one of my Websites with a Paypal donation button? Would you buy a copy? I'd appreciate y'alls input. |
Since you asked for opinions, I wouldn't buy it, but then I don't play anything, so what do I care - but I did listen to the music on your site.

I suppose for a lot of people tabs are great. I guess it's a thing for you kids. Most of us old farts had to learn by ear playing along with the records.
Still, not one to whiz on it, if you feel the call to spread the word, and tabs are your gift. Tab away young dude.
For me, I'll do what I always did, put it on and figure it out.

Notice I did say "tab & standard notation." Figuring it out by ear is exactly what I intend to do. I was just wondering if anyone would appreciate utilizing such transcriptions.

Yeah, I saw that, but I have an issue called "Selective Reading" it's not as rare as you might think.
There are always people looking for someone else to do the work for them. If you do a good job, then it'll be appreciated.

"Alarma!" will probably be reissued at some point here..
we're making plans to try to reissue almost everything,
starting with the first album.
The guitar/bass tablature could easily be used for
something though.. we do occasionally get a request
for sheet music or tabs.
One idea we've been tossing around is making
some kind of book with photos, lyrics, stories, etc...
it could be that we could try to include some tablature
in that collection - if there was some available. Or,
perhaps we can find a way to print it inexpensively
on its own.
I'm not sure what the demand would be, but if we
could print them as they sold - it would be a nice
thing to have available. We've been thinking about
doing a poll on the site for various reasons - we could
ask folks about this idea and see how much interest
there was.
Getting the band members themselves to write things
out would probably be difficult - since most of them
are way to busy to do it. But, if someone did most of
the work, I'm sure we could get them to look it over
and "approve" it or make changes.

That's a much better response than I expected. Obviously I intend to do a good job - otherwise I wouldn't suggest the idea. I'll keep you updated with my progress.

ditto, wes, thanks for the link.
I was just telling my daughter yesterday that I need to find the asl dictionary because she is interested in learning it, and I've forgotten some of the letters. You just made my job easier.

There was a group of kids up here called The Faithful Fingers that did songs in sign language. Sadly, since they were from a church (the people who ran it were teachers but the school did not like a group that had "faithful" in the title) they got kicked out of the school. They didn't even do Christian songs. Our schools are so full of idiots

So, the school would rather have a performing group called simply "The Fingers"?
