PETER GABRIEL - "sledgehammer" Tablature
Official PETER GABRIEL Tablature & Sheet Music »
Hi,
First off I would like to thank you for providing this service. I had
all but given up on playing when I found this resource. This fresh input
has revived my love.
I noticed a request for Sledgehammer in the most-wanted list. I found
the following crd for this at another site. The originators address is
at the top. I attempted to contact him/her to see if they minded me
forwarding this to you but couldn't get mail through to that address. I
kinda figured if it was in a public ftp directory they might not mind it
being spread around. I am sending the file intact incase you or anyone
else wishes to attempt to contact him/her.
Again thanks for being there and doing all this for all of us.
Regards,
Christopher Martin (cmartin@martin.idi.oclc.org)

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 PETER GABRIEL 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.
