Garage Band Theory Tabs All Instruments MusicXML

The tabs in this series originated in Garage Band Theory: Tools the Pros Use to Play By Ear and are adaptations of the examples that accompany the text.

In the printed book there’s hundreds of examples but usually could only show notation and a guitar tab.

These are the expanded versions – there's six volumes and each has hundreds of pages of tabs:

banjo, bass, guitar, mandolin and ukulele, notation for everyone else.

There’s jazz, blues, rock, folk, traditional Irish, bluegrass, nursery rhymes and Christmas songs as well as some Bach & Beethoven - and always shown in more than one key.

There's scales and chords with exercises, there's chord charts for lots of well known songs, lots of 4 & 8 bar progressions in different keys.

These are open source MusicXML files (compressed to .mxl) so they’ll play on about any notation program.

Some of the examples will seem a little weird without the text ... but ‘a little weird’ is not unusual for me and they’re OK. Enjoy!

IMPORTANT:

This series is intended to promote Garage Band Theory: Tools the Pros Use to Play By Ear.

But I want it to be understood that I am NOT collecting email addresses for marketing.

These downloads do require an email address, but BookFunnel's system delivers without saving the recipient's email address.

The notation files are delivered by PayHip and you can choose be added to the mail list or not.

If there are significant edits or updates, I’ll send a notification, and there will probably be a free promotion at some point that will let you send gifts to friends, but that’s it.
