Location: Brighty in Blighty | Hi,
I wanted a warm-up exercise and stumbled across the Mel Bay book FingerStyle Picking Patterns. It's in a really, really *CRAPPO* format so been converting it to regular TAB / music.
Just wondering if anyone else would be interested in this. Would come in PDF, JPG, Guitar Pro and even MIDI format. Here is an example of the first 8 patterns (150 in total)...
I'm up to pattern 85 so should have it finished in an hour or so, if there is enough interest I'll stick it on my site. |

| You may be busting copyright laws posting stuff that you admit doesn't belong to you - even worse if you then offer to publish it elsewhere. |

Location: Brighty in Blighty | Yikes! What if it's in a different format? The book is just like this...
5 3 1 3 42 3
t i r i tm i
1 + 2 + 3 +
Am I still breaking copyright laws?
Anyhow OK won't be published... |

Are you finding it very useful? I might just pop for the $5+ for a used one. |

Location: Sydney, Australia | Copyright may be less of a problem with exercises, as most exercises date from some folk song written 200 years ago. I'll have a copy too please. |

Location: Just outside Dallas, TX | Don't count on it... Mel Bay is ONE of the members of the Music Publisher's Assoc that has shut down almost every TAB site on the net at one time or another...
Their claim being that even a "near" representation is covered under their copyrights... so if you were to work this out by ear, it closely matches something they published and.... well they claim to own it...
We at PowerTabs spent months trying to fight this... about the ONLY Tabs they couldn't lay claim to were the Classical pieces and the original compositions...
Please be careful... I personally had a site with > 200 Worked out Tabs that was shut down |

Location: Brighty in Blighty | Thanks Drk Horse, I think I best avoid making this available.
@ Lovehandles, yup thats the book. Whilst it's not going to make you into a fingerstyle guitarist overnight it is good as a warm up exercise.
I think the best way to avoid all the problems is to make my OWN version of this, i.e. compile a list of common patterns, this will then be copyright free and will in fact be more useful as these patterns will be in common usage and therefore more pertinent. |

That is... AFTER you've made it available to your OFC friends, just before you realise your mistake and make it UNavailable.
Oops. Too late.
Sorry Mel Bay. |
