The Unofficial Aerosmith Guitar Archive

Read OLGA's copyright notice before viewing any files.


WELCOME/STATEMENT OF PURPOSE:
Welcome to the Unofficial Aerosmith Guitar Archive! This archive exists because myself and many other fans want to play the music of Aerosmith, but are often unable to buy professional transcriptions. If professional transcriptions for all the songs in this archive become available, this archive will no longer have a purpose and will be deleted. The same thing will happen if any of the current maintainers of Aerosmith homepages decide to update their tab archives or if OLGA is somehow resurrected. Until then, have fun playing the songs and correct/contribute what you can.


DISCLAIMER:
The tab in this archive may or may not be accurate.
If you see a file that you think you could make more accurate, please send me a corrected file. The only way that this archive will ever come close to total accuracy is through the intense scrutiny of its patrons.


NEW TAB!(10/31/97): Celebrate Halloween with a new file for Spaced from Karl-Johan Svensson, and an update to The Movie from Dave Hilling!

(10/12/97): Updates for Rats in the Cellar, Bone to Bone(Coney Island White Fish Boy) and Somebody, as well as a new file for No Surprize.

(10/10/97): Quite a few of you write to ask me what "Falling Off" is. The answer is...it is this: a new transcription of the new Joe P classic sent to me by Denis Jacob.

If I ever find time, I will answer more questions in some sort of FAQ, as well as post some of my own transcriptions. In the meantime, enjoy this transcription of a great song by a great band sent to me by a great friend of this archive/great fan of the band.

POLICY ON PROFESSIONAL TRANSCRIPTIONS:
An asterisk(*) by a song means that a professional transcription for it is available. An amateur transcription for a song that has been professionally transcribed will only be posted here if the amateur transcription was done before its professional counterpart. This archive is not an alternative, but a supplement to professional tab. Buying professional transcriptions is encouraged whenever possible.

Several of you have sent me files recently for songs that have also been professionally transcribed (i.e. every song on this page that is accompanied by an asterisk(*)). I'm sorry I didn't make it clear above, but my policy is to not make any additions to those files. This is in accordance with the policy of non-competition that I have advocated since this page's inception. OLGA does not have the same policy, however, and I'm sure would be happy to accept your (really incredible) transcriptions. I encourage you to send them to guitar@olga.net, where they will be archived.

If you'd like to know my rationale for advocating such a policy (which includes an answer to the question "Why is it that 'Pump,' 'Get A Grip,' and 'Big Ones' are not included on this page?") check out this document.


AERO BASS TAB:
Some of you write to ask about Aerosmith bass tab. OLGA is the best place that I know of on-line to get it. You can submit bass tab to OLGA by sending your file(s) to bass@olga.net.


THANKS!:
I do appreciate all of your letters of appreciation and encouragement. I'm sorry my academic priorities don't often allow me the opportunity to respond. Nonetheless, I do appreciate all the mail that I get, even though I can't always respond to it. So, thanks.


PROFESSIONAL TRANSCRIPTION NEWS! (8/12/97): According to Music Dispatch, the Nine Lives tab book is finished and released! Order it today by calling 1-800-637-2852!

(6/23/97): As far as I know, the Nine Lives book is not out yet. However, a great new book from Hal Leonard called "Aerosmith Guitar Classics" is. Read all about it.

If you've yet to order the new Aerosmith "Riff by Riff" tab book, why not do so today? While you're at it, why not pick up the new Aerosmith "Signature Licks" book and CD? Both are great tools for learning Aero songs and should be taken advantage of.


"When you start a rock n' roll band, you've gotta fake it till you make it. You begin by doin' what you love-and what you love is usually what some other people have already done."


Remember, this archive depends on your contributions! Please send all comments, questions, ADDITIONS and corrections to meunier.1@osu.edu!

I hope you enjoyed the archive. Come back soon for more transcriptions!
