Submitting Tab to this page.

You are welcome to submit your original tab to share with others.  If you are submitting tab of a song already included here, it should be significantly different than the tab already posted here.  Only one basic(melody line only) version of a tune in a given tuning will be posted here unless there are several commonly accepted and significantly different variants of the same tune.  You are welcome to submit tabs that are played in a different style, ie: strummed, fingerpicked, flatpicked, etc.

Tabs should be submitted in .tef format, if possible. Unembellished tabs of a basic tune may be submitted in other formats, jpegs of hand written tab, etc., but only the melody line will be put into .tef and .pdf format, as I don't have the time to enter tabs submitted in chord/melody style into .tef format.

All tabs submitted should be your own work, as you remember, interpret, hear, or play a song. Tabs taken directly from a published or copywrited piece of written music or tab will not knowingly be posted here. The author, if known, as well as the artist, for songs in the popular contemporary tune category, should be named in the tab file. Lyrics and standard music notation may be part of the tab files for tunes published in 1922 and earlier. Unless it is established that a tune was published in 1922 or earlier, no lyrics or music notation should be included as part  the tab, and it will be put into a popular/contemporary songs category. When submitting tab, email as much information as possible about the origin, author, date, etc. of a tune, along with the tab. PDF files don't need to be submitted, as .tef files can be converted to .pdf format easily after the tabs are received.  Your name, as author of the tab, should be part of the submitted tab file, and will remain with the tab. Headers and foonotes may be edited before posting on the tab page(s). Please include the words "Tab submission" and the song title in the subject line when you email tab.
