You really don't need all that stuff in there, note lengths and that huge legend of which most of the things on it arn't used.

Tabs don't need to be this complicated.

nice tab, i think all the legend stuff is nice to add in there for people who don't know how to use it, they might see it and actually try to learn that too. great tab, thanks for the time it took to post it all on here.
