All in all, the site is fairly accurate, although there seem to definitely be some problems with some of the songs. I haven't come across too many with more than two or three different tabs, most just have one. I have contributed a bit to the acoustic stuff and I don't unless I'm completely sure I'm right about it. I think it's certainly a good resource for beginning players, but if you're more advanced you should be able to figure them out on your own, and if you can't - don't play them!

I've never been a big fan, but they played here in Ottawa tonight with Bedouin Soundclash (who I have always liked) and I thought they were pretty great. I know live shows can be a lot different from the recorded stuff, but after listening to the new album I've become a bit of a fan.

I think he said something about writing and recording 50 or so songs for Illinois and wanted to release it as a double or triple album but sense was talked into him. An acoustic version of was what got me into him. -

I think he has 48 states to go to complete his 50 States Project...maybe then he'll move onto our provinces -

That just wouldn't happen at any Hedley concert...not that I'm particularly against them or anything, but I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to their music.

Anti-pop was thrown-in after the record was written...something about the record company calling his management company and then taking to Dave saying that they had to write a hit for the record...there's a good video of it in his facebook profile

I've heard a few tracks, and i'm not surprised that I don't like it...I've never been interested in them. -
I just started listening to him over the past few weeks and think all his stuff is really musically interesting. He's a really talented multi-instrumentalist and he goes fairly unnoticed these days. Just wondering whether anyone else is interested?

I have BH from a couple interviews in kingston and ottawa from before the release of HM...i'm guessing this is probably about the same time

I didnt like his first album..seemed too long to get through The new one is much better -
none of them knew what to do...no one's ever picked a fight with them (i'm a terrible person)

Finally saw Schindler's List (I know...it took me too long), but it was, as expected, amazingly well done and certainly had an impact.

I've recently come to the realization that their vocal harmonies are pretty much always spot on...even when they're playing live they're pretty incredible...in that respect anyway -
he sometimes plays it C#G#C#F#G#C# it's just another half step down from the original DADGAD but played the same way You're a bit off with the first part of the verse...it's actually this: Db---0---------X-----X-------------------------X------X---- Bb---1---------0-----0------------------------10------8---- Gb---0---------0-----0-------------------------0------0---- Db---2--0h2----9-----4-------------------------0------0---- Ab---3--------10-----5-------------------------9------9---- Eb---3---------0-----0------------------------10-----10---- then for the
