Good grief, already!
How many of these same musicians cut their teeth doing covers of other artists' music, learning by copying the "intellectual property" of others?

It sounds like a derivative work.
Except for simple chord progressions that are common to many songs (certain blues progressions, for instance), and thus not original, it seems like a clear case of copyright infringement.

He has no formal music training, yet he gives a pretty decent performance. He certainly has a good sense of rhythm and the manual dexterity.
I purchased many music books when I was young. Most of it was written for the trumpet so I could play works from Herb Alpert or Chicago. There wasn't an internet in those days.

I teach guitar for a living and I go to ultimateguitar for tabs but the other tab sites I use to frequent are closed down. I just tried ultimateguitar now and it too might be closed. Basically the music industry wants you to buy their music books but some artists are not at the point of having music books published, which is a shame if you are looking for their songs.

ftp.nevada.edu PING! Anyone else ever use that site? I remember downloading Pink Floyd & Queen tabs off of it back in 1991...
