Hello there! I’m a wife, mother and self-taught guitarist. I first picked up a guitar in 2010 and haven’t put it down since! I’m not that great of a player, but I get by. Besides, my talent isn’t in the playing, it’s in the ears ;)
I first discovered I had an ear for transcribing music while playing tabs on Ultimate Guitar. So many of them were just wrong! So, I started making correct versions and it just grew from there. I left UG having tabbed over 300 songs on that site. (I was the #1 Daily Most Popular Contributor for over 2 years straight, and I’m still in the top 10. Not bad since I haven’t posted a tab on UG in many, many years!)
In 2013 I created Live Love Guitar and amazingly enough, I’m still here! I’m just a little site but I think users know they can count on correct, well formatted tabs. I try to make my tabs as easy as possible while still being correct. This makes a huge difference for new players! I would have quit playing had I not learned the beauty of a capo and transposing :) My capo is my best friend!! (If you don’t have a capo, you must get one! It makes the world of difference for beginners! Go now! Then come back to Live Love Guitar and play away!)
Thanks for visiting and I hope I can keep up with all the song requests being submitted, keeping Live Love Guitar alive! :)
