That's an interesting gambit to take. I like it but don't have the resources to pull it off, wish I did it would make figuring out the voicing a lot easier and clearly identifying the errors in the tablature if any.

I like to work up the piece on the computer using Harmony Assistant from Myriad Software (www.myriad-online.com) In conjunction with their Virtual Singer software version that comes with Harmony Assistant, you can work up the piece with vocals and instruments. Then I record the output to audio cassette tape (record it multiple times to fill up an entire side of 60 minute audio tape.) Finally, I go for a long walk and listen to the tape, hearing the instrumental and vocal parts over and over, letting it soak into the brain. It's easier for me to sing or play a piece when it's already in my subconscious. "The Other" Stephen Stubbs.
