First... I am saddened to see Rebels tab site go away. It was truly a wealth of information. Also, Rebel has been a valued contributor to www.umgf.com and I appreciate it.
I started a steel guitar website two months ago www.pedalsteeler.com primarily becasue I enjoy writing and teaching. I also enjoy running websites. I got a bit sidetracked and haven't spent much time on it lately. I think it was a good idea and I plan to continue it. At this point, I want to add a tab section with musical links.
Much of this will be simply excercises and such that I plan to record myself and write out tab for.
I would like to have a section for tab off of recordings, similar to Rebels old site. I have no illusions about anything anywhere near the size they did it, but still it would be nice.
My question is this. Does the "fair use" for education cover this useage or do I need to get every publishers permission?
I can write tab till the cows come home but this is a new area for me. Since I don't use UBB, I would guess I will have to use HTML code for tab?
Ideas? Help? Cigarette and mask?

Glad to see that Rebel's site is back. 
I still have the same questions though aout "fair use" copyright laws. Anyone?
BTW.... I figured out how to post tab to my forum painlessly yesterday

Steve:
Seems like I received an email from you some time back about tabbing out some of the material on the website (Rebel/Ricky/Jeff). Be glad to accept any you may want to take a shot at and post them, credit given to you, of course.
Thanks

I've had several people contact me in the past month about them doing a Steel Tab site.
I stongly encourage anyone who has the desire to do so.
Of course stealing from other sites is wrong and I don't think anyone here has that intention.
The Rebel Site is excellent, and is a pioneer, but to properly support the advance of our instrument we must not have all our eggs in one basket.
There are now several Internet Forums devoted to Steel Guitar. Although different, they get along because the owners understand they all want to advance our instrument and help current and future players.
I hope that future TAB sites will co-exist in the same spirt.

Believe me... I have no intention of replacing Rebels, Bobs, SGN, or the Christian Steel Guitar Forum. All of these folks are doing something a little different.
I absolutely love Rebels site... and he is a good dude... even if he does have a funny name for a Yankee
Most of my tab will specifically be related to excercises and such. But when something catches my fancy on the radio, I'd like to be able to tab it out without fear of the copyright holder coming after me!
I am putting some of the stuff I have previously tabbed on the site today. I don't see that I'll be doing any more song type stuff real soon though as my priority is to get sound files with tabbed excercises up.
Graham,I'll get with you backchannel. It probably would not hurt to have things in two places... after all, I'm an old fart!

| The Fair Use clause allows for copies of copyrighted stuff to be made available to educational purposes, not for sale. Since no money is changing hands and this is a PRIMARY EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE for the steel guitar, I should think there would be no problem. |

Steve, is you site up and running yet? I just tried to log in but couldn't seem to get through. I would suggest switching to PHPbb for your message board. It's easy to install and looks great with lots of features. And it's free.

Yes... the site is up and running. I mistakenly had it only viewable to registered users. I changed this yesterday when I realized it. It is now viewable to anyone. I try to do a little bit each day but I can see it will be a fairly long process. There are a few steel parts I have tabbed out and links to all the free steel tab I've found. I'm working on lesson material but I don't seem to have enough hours in the day! I've got to locate a place to host the sound files for my tabbed stuff.
Since Rebel has graciously offered to post some of my tab, maybe that will work.
Droopy... EZboard works fine. I'm using it on my Martin site with no problems. That site gets as many as 35,000 visits in a single day and I'm just very comfortable with the layout and ease of use for the webmaster
