It's not at Nevada, and it's a song that always eluded me...I just couldn't hear it right. But nobody responded, and I got determined, and figured it out, finally, note for note, very exactly. So I tabbed it out. I don't know much about tab, so all I did was put the finger positions in. No slides or sustains or whatever. If that's acceptable, I'll start tabbing the hell out of stuff. I've noticed the quality of tab here varies wildly. A few I've seen were just plain waaaaaay wrong. But at least people are trying. So I guess my question is ... is this adequate tab? For example... ======================================== = HOLD YOUR HEAD UP - By Argent (1972) = ======================================== Transcribed by DJ Johnson 10-28-94 (moonbaby@cyberspace.com) This is the first thing I've ever tabbed out, so it's very primitive, notationwise. As for accuracy, I'm pretty confident in it, so this is at least a good starting point.
