Guitar tab is utterly beneath me. I have utter contempt for it. Banjo
tab is necessary to supplement notation, not to replace it. Lute tab
is the language of a dead instrument, and it is a large part of the
reason that the instrument is dead. Of course one needs stems, but tab
stems aren't worth much because tab only has *one voice*, and that is a
*serious* limitation in spite of all the braggadoccio coming from some
other lute players. DaveA
