I admit that I Have become reliant on tablature and I'm working to get away from depending on tabs to learn new songs. Unfortunately, I'm just not there yet. Today, I was trying to find part of the Tab for "Big Spike Hammer". The only tab people post is the part just about anyone can figure out for themselves. It's not the whole thing. I'm looking for the part that begins with "Oh Della Mae (A great name for my banjo don't you think?)...What do you say? why do you treat me this away?......."
Same problem with "Dueling Banjo's......Everybody can figure out the beginning part of the duel but I have never found a tab for the fast part.
Oh well........good motivation to learn by ear!!
When I figure these out, maybe I'll post them.......but then again, why not give others some motivation to move beyoond tab also?
