My Take on TAB!

TAB, short for tablature

Wikipedia states: "An alternate usage of the word "tab" is common on the Internet, where it can also refer to conventional chord symbols (for harmony), or note names (for melody)."

(Curt Sheller) This is a departure from what has been traditionally known as TAB. There are plenty of sites on the Internet, especially ukulele sites, popping up that claim to be TAB sites. These are mostly sites with the chords and lyrics to songs, with or without chord diagrams. Not really TAB in the traditional sense, but I guess we're stuck with an expansion of the definition of TAB.

I don't have anything against TAB. It is a useful tool I use with beginning students to get started learning an instrument such as the ukulele, guitar, banjo, etc. It gets you learning the songs you like and already know, as a passive listener. However, that is one of its major drawbacks; you need to know the song already. It also has several long-term drawbacks. Take a look at my lesson on The Trouble with TAB! for more information.
