Manson Tablature Archive?

[[god]speed]

I was wondering if anyone could provide tabs for Manson songs, Guitar, Bass, Keys, Drums etc. Also if anyone has any of the tablature books could you please scan them?

[Dv5]

I could. But all of the songs can be eared quite easily. Well for those of us who are real musicians, and not just people who own an instrument. :P

Scanning the tab books may breach copyright issues. Copyright means you can only reproduce some of the content to show in a different area, and not all of it, so I would maybe concentrate on showing/scanning a sample of each tab book, and not on getting the whole.

I did mention to you in MSN when you asked (on three different occasions!), that Not Mechanical has offered to map out guitar tablature pages for the discography sections, which would be accessible in the same way as the lyrics. I said it would take some time, there are always a million and one things to do, and to complete, and at the moment he's helping us with... Well, I am not going to tell you what, because I'm an ass. :)

I am sure tablature will show up at some point, if anyone has any they already use and want to submit them, they can be fed in eventually, but it seems as though your own site has some to use also... ;)

I am not sure about drums, again, if users are reading this and they fancy submitting anything, by all means do. Besides that, a thread is as good a place as any for sharing stuff, so if anyone has what [god]speed is asking for, fire away.

I am more than happy to tackle to drums, and am pretty confident on getting most songs virtually spot on to the albums. The problem with drum tab though is it usually tends to get messy and hard to read no matter how you do it, as there's no real set convention for drum notation. I can give it a crack though when I get some time.

I own the tab book - and it's honestly not that accurate. Technically the notes are right, but the way it's played is not really spot on. It's more or less what some company's interpretation of how to play it. I'd be interested in working with some people who are interested in compiling a more complete and accurate tab archive, or with those with good ears perhaps draft up new revisions tabs to clear up any incomplete or inaccurate ones.

I always felt that the tablature archive at MansonUSA was an interesting feature that was unfortunately neglected, and I'd like to see a more complete one on here eventually.

As for now, you're probably familiar with the sites, but I'd say go to ultimate-guitar.com and 911tabs.com, as they tend to be the most reliable places for accurate tablature.

Cringeon's right as well, most of the time tab books are nothing more than one guys interpretation of the songs, which is just reliable as anyone you'd find online or even your own.

Are you talking about this? (link) (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=230432981114&Category=64406&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26its%3DI%26otn%3D2) I was considering buying it but if it's "not that accurate" I won't bother as I can work out that much of the songs myself.

[Cringeon]

No, I was referring to the LWF Tab Book that came out here in the US. I'd be interested in seeing that ACSS one, especially if it comes most instruments. Even if the tabs aren't perfect, it's still good reference for figuring some stuff out. Most times I will just reference the tab and apply it to how I think it should be played.

[DecayingSinner]

www.ultimate-guitar.com is a great website for guitar tabs. Be careful though, there are a lot tabs that are wrong. I usually find the basis of the tabs to songs and can figure any mistakes.

[Jakob Synn]

There are no other Manson tab books except for Lest We Forget.

[Cringeon]

^ It's the only official tab book, but as linked earlier, the ACSS score book does exist. I will be working on building a tab archive for this site in the next little bit, so keep your eyes peeled for that.

There is ACSS, MA and HW tab books from Japan I think.

I've only been able to find the ACSS and MA books, if you know of where I can find HW though please let me know as I'd be very keen to get it.

[CreepyKlutz]

There is the Lest We Forget tab book as well as the full band scores from Japan for the entire Triptych.
