1. Hi Rob,
   Thank you so much; Please accept my heart-felt appreciation for your help! I have been wanting to play this tune for a couple of years; there are no tablatures and no covers of it available!
   My warmest regards,
   Rhett

   This site is INCREDIBLE. I’ve been trying to nail down Etta Baker for a while now and this site did the trick. “One Dime Blues” is still not easy per se but I’m gettin there.

   Thanks

   • Hi Ryan,

     Etta is really, really good. I can play her stuff but it’ll take another 10 years before it sounds like she made it sound. She’s a criminally underrated guitar player.

4. That’s a great playlist/archive you have, covering the lyrics, tabs, songs and the background story. It is also friendly to use.
   Thanks a lot for doing this!

5. I was so hooked with your amazing work. But all of sudden is gone. Can’t read tabs. Coitus interrupts. I hope you can fix

8. I haven’t checked out your site in a while, but it’s the best. Even the songs I don’t know, I enjoy listening to and learning about. However, today when I looked, I find all the tablature has turned into something else (like this: $6.0 $4.0.$2.3 $6.0.$1.1p0 $4.0.$2.3 0 | $6.0.$2.3 $4.0 $1.2/3 $6.0 $1.5 $4.0 $1.7 $4.0.$3.0 |).
   Please, please, bring them back!

   • Hi Brendan,

     The issues was the result of an outdated function in the code.

     Should be fixed now,

10. Hey man ! This site is a pearl that I have been visiting ever since it was created. It taught me how to play blues on my own and songs I thought I could never be able to play. Combining it with books by Stefan Grossman is the best way to learn blues guitar on your own.

    However, I noticed recently the the site was down for a while before being back online. But ever since the site was back online the tab do not display properly anymore and appears not to be correctly interpreted, only the code displays, which is hard to read. Could you have a look at it?

    Once again, awesome work ! I cannot ask you to continue what you have been doing here, you probably are busy doing other things. But I would find it amazing if there were new tabs ! Thank you a lot for everything ! My Guitar thanks you too !

    • Hi Nate,

      Thanks for the message! Means a lot to hear you are getting something out of the site.

      I don’t maintain it as much as I should, and a recent update caused something to break in the code base. I’ve had a look and came up with a fix, so everything should be displaying correctly now.

      Thanks agin for the message, and hopefully you’ll continue to get something out of it.

      Regards,
