Do you know there are some blogs which offer lyric challenges as a contest? Some may offer monetary rewards while some give you points. Whatever the case, it is more for fun rather than to make money. I am game for such contests once in a while as it test my knowledge of songs which I have heard before, and there are plenty.

Not a lot, it would seem. But seriously, one site that really helps me unearth gems such as this is Flametune, officially describing itself as the ‘tabs and lyrics community’ which it certainly is. Most of you who come here often enough will know of my musical, er, prowess from my remixes and other electronic efforts that I foist upon you from time to time. I do, however, appreciate the years of hard work and dedication of all you real musicians out there, which is why I like Flametune’s other facilities such as, dare I mention her name again, Red Hot Chilli Peppers Bass Tabs and, lest we neglect the true heroes of any band other than The Doors, Red Hot Chilli Peppers Guitar Tabs.

While I’m coming across as something of a Lavigne basher, I heavily recommend checking out the other artists on the site, Jeff Buckley being an example of another, proper favourite of mine and among the hundreds of guitar and bass tabs added constantly.

Now I can act like a real pro, guitar in hand and serenade to my wife, she will be so impressed. For your information, there are also Red Hot Chilli Peppers Lyrics too.
