There was a time when I used to buy guitar tab books for albums, or a couple compilations, in order to learn how to play songs I like. Or I asked my teacher to help and figure out a certain song I couldn't find the book for.
Then came the internet, and sites where you could easily find tabs for all of that... or not! Then it got bigger and people started to post tabs in more places, usually forums of the bands I like, which also helped.
Fast forward some years, and personally I got more involved in my own bands playing covers, and I also made it a habit to eventually figure out songs myself randomly while listening to them, for whatever purpose. And also importantly, I made it a habit to post tabs on those forums or submit it to tab sites around. Actually, also when I had a personal website there were some tabs there, but the thing had to move from one host to another and in the end the whole site got deleted (which is ok).
So, last week what occured was that I hadn't for a long while picked up a whole record to figure out, either by myself or using a book. One record that eventually came to mind, and that I never could find a songbook for, was Terrorvision's 'How to make friends and influence people', which is an absolute classic for those who were into post grunge punk in the nineties. I'm biased to talk about it, it's just a great rock record, the one who made these lads from Bradford, UK famous. Or not so much, since they couldn't really crack much any market outside of Europe. Either way, if you want to know more about the record, I highly recommend a listen, and you can know more about it on wikipedia or view a classic clip: Ok, end of digression.
So (again), when I went to search for tabs of songs from that album, there weren't many in the first place. I knew I had to get my hands dirty and work on the whole album, so I did! The result was really satisfactory mostly because I think the songs are quite simple. There are still parts or solos that are not 100%, so that's another idea of posting what you have. Eventually and hopefully someone will fill the blanks for you and inform you. Also that's what I already did to lots of songs (which I'll eventually post too).
Finally, when I went to a site to post it, it said "ok, we got the submission, now give us two business days to review it". Just take a guess whether that happened. I also realized I had long before submitted other tabs and they never appeared. After contacting a couple of other sites and getting no responses at all, it just hit me: "screw that, I don't need that".
And voilá, here you are! Hope it's enjoyed by guitarists 'round the world who eventually share similar tastes and go out looking for tabs and end up here. I'll post what I have anyway and be happy about it :)
Cheers and welcome.
