I’m not here to teach or explain, just arrange and present… I got an e-mailed request for a detailed explanation of a tab he/she purchased… So, if an individual downloads or buys tabs on this site and doesn’t use Tabledit to listen to the arrangement (MIDI), they are greatly defeating the purpose of this site for themselves.
