Hi,

the problem here is, that there is either a way to play in a proper key, or a way to play it as easy as possible. And I'm focusing on the second way. As long as it is as easy as possible for beginners, it's there to go.

The strange keys are a result of transposing the song to the key, that has the lowest amount of sharps and flats, because new users really have problems with them, as far as I have figured out.

I got some people to buy themselves xaphoons and they're all but one, total beginners. The tabs without sharps are the most played. Of course, if you want to play in a band, you'll have to transpose it.

Those tabs are meant more as a little starting help, than accurate sheet music. See it as a musical scratchbook of ideas.

And you're right...playing low Eb is a thing for itself. I don't get it sounding right about 60% of the time.

This is so awsome.  Thanks for the additional songs.  By the way--HUGE SINATRA FAN!  Any chance of "The Way You Look Tonight"?

Heh, after digging around this site, I found the kind of software used to produce the Xaphoon fingering below the staff notes is Tabledit. My next step is to learn how to transpose music to the key of C for my PS. Anyone know any good sites for learning this?

Brendan,

I haven't been online for quite awhile, but after reading your post, I decided to create a flash tutorial on using TablEdit for creating sheet music. I added it to my web page with all my other TablEdit tutorials for guitar music. The tutorials can be viewed at:
