I was gone for a long time, but now I'm sticking around because I've been inspired to do one recording a week, which forces me to practice and get better. I have always wanted to improve and learn more music, but keeping motivated can be difficult. Having this place as an outlet provides motivation, since I don't perform much live.

The fingerstyle competition really got me to challenge my notion of what was possible to me--especially what was possible within the timeframe of a week or two.

And then I realized that the chord progression from Chrono Cross's Another World is the same progression as the chorus from Peace of Mind by Boston, and life was never quite the same.

But on a serious note it's because gametabs has the best community and awesome finger-style arrangements, I literately just use UG for news and occasional songs.

Yeah, I've never seen fingerstyle tabs on ultimateguitar, unless the original song was written that way, and even those are hard to find. Are there any other sites that have a lot of fingerstyle tabs? Maybe classical oriented. And what made it so popular on Gametabs, kabukibear?

I hate to say it but I think it was someone else that made it popular here. You know who.

I figured the 99% who come to this site just want some free tabs, Most of they never actually learn entirely.
The few of us that do use the forums are just losers.

Thinking the site needs some kind of update or something. i find it kinda blah that those users with 600 billion views on youtube never once mention this site, I bet you they come here as well!

I don't want to leave because i'm nostalgic as hell and gametabs helped me on my journey from a young guitar padawan to wherever I am now.
I remember back when I'd only use my index finger and my thumb to do fingerstyle.
Those were the glory days.

Shhhh! We don't talk about updating the site, last time it was openly discussed it broke down into a flame-war that led to real world implications. Chief among them was the reelection of Obama!

Jokes aside, I'm fairly satisfied with the layout and looks of gametabs. Simple and strait to the point.

Other than that, it's always cool seeing a tab for a song I like pop up on the new tabs list. Anytime I see a DKC2 tab I have to stop everything I'm doing and give it a shot.

Ultimate-Guitar actually has a lot of Fingerstyle tabs, they're just often not named as such which makes them hard to find.

If you're a fan of Sungha Jung's arrangements there's an excellent transcriber that has been arranging them all out ( almost 200 songs now ) http://profile.ultimate-guitar.com/yuji812/contributions/tabs/

http://www.classclef.com/ Is excellent for Classical tabs, all in GP5/X and PDF. There's also a lot of great Non-classical fingerstyle tabs to be found there as well.

Sorry if my words offend someone but this forum is almost dead. It was funny a few years ago. But I prefer active communication now. The easiest way to use online chats is for mature hookups. This is more useful since there are not only romantic chats but also general groups. Someone is looking for friends and someone is looking for a spouse .. Everything is harmonious here.
