OINGO BOINGO - "cant see" Tablature
Official OINGO BOINGO Tablature & Sheet Music »

Subject: Tab: Can't See(Useless) by Oingo Boingo
Song: Can't See (Useless)
Artist: Oingo Boingo
Album: Boingo / Farewell Live Halloween 1995
Written by: Danny Elfman
Tabbed by: boingo692x@mail.telis.org
This tab is a combination of two different guitar parts. There was a third
guitar usually played by Warren Fitzgerald, the other two being Steve
Bartek and Danny Elfman, but it has not been incorporated since it is to
hard to distinguish from all the instruments.
It sounds really good with both a acoustic on one part and an electric on
the other.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official OINGO BOINGO tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
