We are Family by Sister Sledge is listed as being in A major online. It’s in D. I guess you could say A Mixolydian and there are borrowed chords.

Man, Nile Rogers is just the coolest and Bernard Edwards jams!

Songsterr version is pretty bad, too. I usually just listen and figure songs out. I don’t generally use tabs anymore.

Hmmm, generally they're good. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Even with mistakes, with the amount of crazy shit I'm trying to get under my fingers, it has saved me a lot of time.

I'm not good (nor do I want to be) at figuring stuff out by ear, but I can hear when something they tab is not right, and fix it. I guess I consider it a great starting point. (And I've tried several sites.)

Actually now that I think about it, the best tabs are ones people put up on YT, but you have to wade through the wrong ones. I'll go right to a part I know myself, and check their accuracy. But once you find a good one, they're usually spot-on.

I think this is why our ears are our best friend. Or.... our worst! :LOL:

I learned to play by copying what I heard on records and cds, plus whatever TAB books were available at the local music store. No internet in those days. To this day, I still use my ear more than any transcriptions when learning stuff for the band as it's much quicker for me.
