Right !.

I have been Reviewing tabs for a week, and i am appalled at the standards of tabbing. If you are going to Tab, or chord a song, do it right. Don`t just put up a half hearted effort, coz all you are doing is wasting your time, and the Tab checkers time. So take a look at what has been rejected, and learn from them.

CODE
smoke on the water by:Deep Purple

2____________________________________________________________________

i reject about 10 of these every time i look at the tabs. If you are going to submit Smoke on the Water, then submit the complete song, not this sort of pathetic effort. There are already about a dozen of these on the site already.

on this bend, bend up, bring it back down and then play the next two notes.. this is an old blues lick and is hard to tab out



thanks

Ok that one is a little better, but still unaccetable.

Thats it.....This is my 1st tab so i might have wrote it wrong.

Key: P = Pull Off



Ok so now you have an idea of the type of tabs that are being rejected, but i have personally rejected better tabs than this.
Either do it right, or don`t bother wasting my time and your time. rolleyes.gif

In summary. Thake a look at Superwinkies Tab thread if you are going to submit tabs. you will learn a great deal...... biggrin.gif

I know what you mean. That's gotta be painful reviewing all those useless tabs. Man, that's enough to drive someone mad!

P.S. What was the name of that song where it said "He's got a brand new car"? I've been looking for the name of that song. thanks.

Oh man, you gotta love stuff like this:



CODE
don't listen to all that other crap. this is the real deal. plus it's easier.

12 15 14     14      12 15 14      14
       15 12                 15 12  14.

pretty simple right there. oh play those on the bottom 2 strings. i forget what letters they are.


If that guy left an email address, I'd send him a message telling him to just stop tabbing.
