they dont know how to do tabs? it took me all of 3 seconds to figure it out. im sure that they could do it. maybe they just dont want to.

and another thing, i always wondered how dave could remember all of his songs. i always thought he had all his stuff tabbed. but as apps said most people dont tab their own stuff, so i guess thats out the window. after about a month or so of not playing a song i forget how it goes. so how does he remember all of his songs? has he just played them enough times to remember them for all eternity?
its pretty hard for someone to forget a song they write, its usually personal and something they would never forget even if they didn't play it that often

that makes sense, seeing as how i didnt write any of the songs i know how to play, that would explain why i forget them after a while.

yeah but most of the time when he forgets he just makes them up and usually it sounds just as good.

scatting's fun :-D

. I love doing the scat that Dave does solo for Crush. Also, Dave might record them. Then if he wants to go back, he listens and picks it up. Also, he could go back to the tapes for the album, and just pull out the guitar part. He might also just write down names of chords. Also, he does write down his lyrics, as you can see in the videos of the making of BTCS. I love the comment about "tex".

I'll say it now, and believe it or not, but the tab books you can buy are as accurate as the tabs on this site.

Probably because if he does transcribe what he writes, it's in standard notation.

I own Live At Luther College tab book. The way they have Stream tabbed out is not how Timmy plays it. I can see in the live mpeg I downloaded, that he plays the non improv parts completely differently than in the book. I know he improvs a lot, but parts of the song do stay the same, so he can improv off of that.

Also, I have looked at the UTTAD and the Crash books, and they aren't correct. They come about 70% correct. It took me a while, but I got Typical Situations dead on, and then checked the tab book to see if I should buy it. 70% correct. I then flipped through, and it's not dead on. JKanter is much better :-D

the way they have stream tabbed out is 100% accurate. it is a note for note transcription of the exact things he played that evening, he may be different from every other performance of the song, but for that performance, it is absolutely right.

fuck the damn tabs in those books, i got them for the actual musical notation

Well, in the book is good on the notes, but parts of the tabs, he plays those notes higher up on the neck and not on higher strings.
