I found a tab format that I cannot decipher. And I know of different forms of piano tablatures, but I can't find this referenced anywhere.
How is one supposed to read this kind of "organ" tablature with numbers all over it and... I don't know what, exactly, in the tuning header?
What is the correct name for this tablature style? What are its advantages?
There's a site full of those, (it's called "songsterr") its operators look pretty certain of its unintelligibility, and this leaves me baffled.
It's guitar tab, with semitone-down tuning. It seems they've tried to notate the organ solo as guitar tab. I suppose this could be useful to a guitarist, even if he couldn't play it literally. Pianists often work from a 'piano-conductor' score that shows more information than can actually be played with two hands. And of course there are full orchestral scores which are read but not played, not by one person at any rate!
