Hi Dave,

One idea for the future.  It would be cool to have a video series someday about how to tab out music the way that you do, then have a spot in the share section or a type of library where students can upload either classic songs that they've tabed out, tributes, or songs that they've created, and be able to comment on/change their submissions.  As long as it didn't turn into people arguing over whether "that one spot in a Little Walter song" was a draw pull or blow pull it might be fun.  I'm sure that's a ways off.  Just an idea.

Also, I've been with the site for a few years now and watched it grow.  Just out of curiosity, how many active members (past the 30 day trial) strong are we now?

-Taylor

Thanks for the suggestion Taylor. The transcription lesson is actually on my future to-do list, but I won't be able to do the shared TAB idea. I would have to acquire the print rights for each song and unfortunately the company that owns the majority of the old Chicago stuff has a policy of not licensing tunes. This is why you don't see any commercial transcriptions of my material on them, even though I've done a lot... it's a bummer. The number of subscribers is private information, but I can say that it has grown slowly, but steadily over the years. It's great to see players like yourself stick with it.
