Hello David,

I feel compelled to say this is the best post I have ever seen on this list, on any topic! Marvellous.

As an aside, I find the TAB symbol just particularly dreadful. But I often wonder why tablature even needs it - surely it is obvious that what follows is tab, and it does not indicate relative pitch. Well, I am not a guitarist.

If those letters were human, they’d each be wearing a fancy red dress. And also a fancy blue dress at the same time, with a big metallic-gold sash. And they’d have their hair in ringlets, and pinned in their hair they’d each have two peonies in full bloom. And every time you played the guitar, they would sing, in Spanish and Ukrainian and Igbo, each one singing all three languages at once, with different lyrics. And it would be strangely glorious, and for this you would be the envy of all your friends. Until you discovered that along with the dresses and the hair and the flowers, they’re vain and egotistical, constantly preening and showing off and trying to outdo each other, and once they start singing they won’t shut up.

So it’s probably a good thing they’re just letters. :)
