h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hello -- I see you are the editor of the guide entry on Guitar Tablature. I left a note a few weeks ago for Agrajag, who wrote the entry, but it seems he/she hasn't been around for years.

My comments on F54553?thread=348503 amount to a charge that the entry is seriously misleading; is there any way to have it overhauled?

Tab is *not* a second-best form of notation, as Agrajag suggests (with false or unthinking modesty). It gets across all the essential information in very much fewer symbols, and is therefore *greatly* preferable to staff notation for fretted instruments.

Hee I had forgotten I had subbed that. The Edited Entries are being gone through and updated. However it is a slow process, but when it comes time for Guitar Tab to be overhauled the Sub doing it will examine all the conversation threads under it, do some research, and adjust the Edited Entry accordingly.

The major problem with tab, I have found, is that there is just not enough of it around there is much more staff notation out there, so for some stuff you do have to learn staff notation to play it. So maybe, in one way at least, staff notation does have superiority Hopefully this is helpful and if there is anything else I can do, just give a yell Until later....

Thanks Crescent . . . I hope when the time comes someone will contact me, I would like to see a good word put in for tab.

To say "in one way at least, staff notation does have superiority" is like saying "Windows has superiority over MacOS" -- superior numbers of users, what superiority is that?
