feedback from tab purchasers (scroll down for more!):

"Hello Ian, I just purchased your James Taylor resources for "You Can Close Your Eyes". At first I thought $7.88(USD) was too expensive for some TABS, so many are free on the internet. But you obviously have worked hard to provide accurate transcription and ample(4) resources to help me learn the piece. Thank you. Best Regards,"......Mary (USA)

"Thanks for the tab. I was trying to work it out for myself as other tabs/chords on the net are not very accurate but it would probably take me a year! I’ll be burning the midnight oil trying to perfect this one using your tab."....Paul (West Midlands)

"!Hi Ian, I receive your e-mail and the tab, perfect :) Take care on the road. Merry Christmas and Happy 2013."....Erik (Belgium)

Guitar Tab

Usually I only get round to working out guitar tabs and notation on request, so let me know if there are others you wish to have transcribed and I'll see what I can do. I try and get an accurate representation of my playing as shown on Youtube. I don't think you can get these tabs or notation anywhere else!

Please note the key information is a midi tab file which will enable you to play the tab in midi so you can both see and hear the guitar notes as they are plucked! See video midi tab samples to show what I mean. The midi tab file is played on 'Powertab Version 1.7' (for PCs only) or 'Tuxguitar ' (for both PCs and MACs). These are freely available tab writing software programs that allows the notes to be played back in midi so you can hear the tab. The speed can be slowed for learning as well.

Some customers have asked for a discount for multi buy. Now I have more tabs up, I offer two special deals.

1. Buy three tabs and get one free!.
2. Buy six tabs and get four free!.
Just contact me after completing your purchase(s) to say which are the extra tabs you want. (For previous customers I don't want you to lose out!. this is a cumulative offer. Just remind me which ones you have already bought.)

Two of the files are simple tab .html and .doc files which can be read in a web browser or word processor. The third file is a midi .ptb powertab file. Powertab software can be downloaded from a text box on this page. The final file is a .pdf file which is read in Adobe reader software and shows both tab, notation and the words. Note if you have a MAC computer then TuxGuitar software also opens the .ptb midi file but without any words. TuxGuitar is freely available. The version which requires downloading depends on whether your MAC has a 32 bit or 64 bit processor.
