The Bassist and Guitarist thread

[MontyVeda]

Trying to learn the chords for Level 42's "It's Over" (not really a guitar song, but a good lesson in harmony). There are some terrible transcriptions out there with chords that are easy to play and sound completely wrong. I needed to look up fingerings for a third of the actual chords. Cm7flat5, FFS!

it's staggering the amount of tablature that's just wrong... and more staggering, a lot of it is found in published TAB books dating from the last century

I can't read tab. It just swims before my eyes, possibly something to do with my dyslexia.

Bizarrely proper music notation causes no such problem and I can read it well enough. Not fluent, but given time I usually suss it.

I got one of these a couple of weeks back, chopped in my Sonic Strat at PMT in Leeds, it truly is a belter, perfect for bringing out the inner Mark Knopfler & Hank Marvin, I'm very pleased with it
