Looks like they’re active again and have more tabs incoming!

I don’t usually post links here but thought I’d break that rule just because this guy has some of the most accurate tablature I’ve seen for Guided By Voices.

I’d love to shoot him a message and thank him for his work and I’m hoping one of you all might know who runs the website (I’ve checked up and down for a contact link but found nothing.). I’m also hoping he hasn’t stopped updating entirely because it’s been a few weeks since his last update.

Anyways that’s the end of my plug! More content coming soon (If I can get past that fucking copyright notice shit.)

Sonny the Monster // Guided by Voices (Anacrusis)

Here’s an oddity for you all (check out the articles too!):

“Of course, "Sonny" was not really a GbV song. It was, like many others, developed in other bands/projects and later sort of grafted onto the GbV canon. Although I received a writing credit for the track on Suitcase 3, I had almost nothing to do with writing the original song. For my version, I tweaked a couple of chord progressions in the verses and chorus, and added a couple of goofy little hooks. That was all. At the time I recorded the cover, I was oriented toward electronic music. I was working mainly with synths and a drum machine, and the production reflects that. Anyway, I didn't really want to reproduce the original version of the song, since I figured that had already been done.“
