Back when the internet was nothing short of just text and very little graphics, the lack of guitar tablature was equally absent. [1995-1996]
When I first started to play guitar my biggest influence was Dave Matthews and I wanted to learn every song on guitar. [At this point, the DMB catalog consisted of 3 albums]
But, I found out that most of the bigger tab sites didn't have DMB tablature or it was plain wrong due to the use of the tabber using standard chords instead of Dave's unique chord structures.
But then I stunbled upon this guy's website. Sean Spicer
He was a student at Duke and was hosting his tabs through his school's server. He had almost every song tabbed out and it was pretty damn accurate. In fact, when I came here I thought Jared was ripping off Sean's work because every tab was almost identical!!
It's a shame he never got any recognition for his work. Tonight, in his honor, I'm going to toast to Mr. Sean Spicer for helping out the dmb guitar players in the mid-90's.
* Damn, Ten years ago I started playing Dave and I can remember vividly being in the college computer lab looking at Sean's tabs.
