My First Tab

For all of you guitar players, this will make sense to you. For those of you who don't play guitar, then I'll explain briefly - a tab, is basically the way that people who play guitar write out their music. I have tabbed out a song for myself. It's called Stand By Me, by Sam Cooke (yes I know, it is a re-make of a previous song). But, did you know that the backing music for Stand By Me is also the backing music for Beautiful Girls, by Sean Kingston? Anyway, without any further delay, here is the tab*:

E¦----------------------------------------------------------------------------¦
B¦----------------------------------------------------------------------------¦
G¦----------------------------------------------------------------------------¦
D¦----------------------------------------------------------------------------¦
A¦---5-6-6----5-6-6--6-5-3-3-----3-3---3------------3-6-6-----5-6-6----5-6-6--¦
E¦-6--------6------------------6---------6-4-4----4---------6--------6--------¦

It is my first tab, and it definitely isn't perfect, but I hope you enjoy. =) I am fairly new to guitar, so don't be too harsh if you wish to critique it. And that will be all. Bye!

* The actual Stand By Me music is played on Bass Guitar, so this tab will sound an octave or so higher than the real thing.

Also...

Keeping on the subject, I hope some of you saw the Glastonbury music festival, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Some great bands played, like The Automatic, The Kaiser Chiefs and The Arctic Monkeys. It's strange how you hardly ever get to see what musicians look like, isn't it? I was surprised what some of those people actually looked like. So anyway, I saw this strange band, called Gogol Bordello playing. At first, I thought they were from East Europe, perhaps, but it turns out they're from New York. They called themselves Gypsy Punks, which was a little unnerving at first. But in the end, one of their songs started to grow on me, and someone I knew bought it for me. It's called Start Wearing Purple (yes I know, strange). I suggest you buy it now!

Great Song, Great Video

Yeah, so I was just looking around YouTube, seeing as there had been the launch of YouTube UK - I can't say it's that impressive, it's really just UK slapped onto the name of YouTube, really, except that this is supposed to be just for us Brits. So anyway, I found this great video of F1 Crashes, (don't worry, there's no gore, or blood in it, just some great crashes. The main thing that stood out though, was the absolutely brilliant music. It was actually featured on a retro game for the PlayStation 1 (yes, a very long time ago, I know) game called Tunnel Runner. So the music is called Keep Hope Alive by Crystal Method. I just love the song, for some reason, so I bought it off iTunes. And, without any further ado, here's the video:
