I remember when I started
playing guitar being disappointed that I couldn't play songs like they sounded after learning the TAB. Then as I got better I realize what complete ****e most ASCII tabs are. I've never used PowerTab but GuitarPro's are usually much better-- I mean, you actually have to listen to the midi when making the tab, so only the most brain dead or deaf people release tabs that beg the question, what are they smoking?
