Man, the new players have it so much easier than it used to be. I remember when TAB books were very hard to come by, no Youtube, no Internet, no iPods and no CD's. Back then it was all by ear. Play, pause, rewind, play and repeat. It was a lot more difficult and you often got it wrong. But it made your ears very sharp. I was playing plenty of Van Halen and Rush songs wrong until I had good seats at a concert and saw up close how they did it right. Now I just go to Youtube and find the guy with the most views and compliments and figure he has it right.
