P.S. Btw, Em is actually more correct than E, as far as I can tell, so in this case it's all good, but generally, accuracy in the tabs unless they're marked simplified is preferred.

@ChadChillsBro69 Album names are taken from the database, users can only control Song Name + Artist Name. Not much anyone can do about that without a restructuring of the database. Also, you can play whatever you want, it is just about having fun, but tabs should be listed as close to the original as reasonably possible, unless the tab is marked simplified.

Also, small detail: the album was called "Speaker Boxxx/the Love Below" not whatever nonsense is listed above...

E does sound a tiny bit better. But lets get real: Em is just sooo much more practical It's Uke. Where here to have fun.
