Re: TAB question

[David Stocker]

Thanks for the poke. I'll try to get nominal list together this weekend 
of about a half-dozen or so things tabbers are missing. Right now, I'm 
open to suggestions on where to start. Bends? Ligado techniques?

Also, since this will inevitably involve email attachments of image 
files, I'm proposing that we circulate this off list. I'll send a 
follow-up email and anyone on the list who wants to receive and 
contribute to the "guitar tab feature request" can email me and I'll 
make a distribution list of the respondents. At a later time, we can 
submit "guitar tab feature request v.1.0" to the developers and maybe 
start talking sponsorships.

Best,

Dave
