Check the top of the Piano forum - It has links to all the free music places we have found, plus music for Third Day's Thief and Mercy Me's I can only Imagine (arranged by Nate)

wow you learn something new everyday. I never new there was such a thing as piano tabs, that's cool. Are they complicated to read?

Well... there really isn't any hardset way of notating piano music (outside of traditional sheet music, of course), so most "piano tabs" are rather confusing. Pianotab.net is the only place I've ever seen them. Personally, I find them extremely complicated and definitely not worth the effort... especially considering you have to learn a new method of tablature for every tab you read. 8notes, to me, is a much better site for popular piano music. They have short snippets of real sheet music, and they "tab out" different popular (and classical) pieces and riffs for piano.

Also, to contrast that with guitar, music on the guitar requires very special mechanical interpretation - what can be termed as Guitar Mechanics.

However, with the piano, the keyboard is specifically designed to interface directly with standard sheet music. Ergo, all the one-to-one, note-to-tone, black-dot-to-specific-key correlations.

In essence, Standard Music Notation is "Piano Tab".

So, I'm very interested in seeing this form of Piano Tab. Interesting concept, tho it may prove to be a marvelous solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
