What do you think of this format? If you like it, then SIMP

(Stupidity Induced Music Page) format is for you. I SIMPed this song

because I want to play the song without spending a lot of time

practicing/memorizing it, my ear is not good, and I wanted it in a form

where I could play it correctly the even if I had not practiced it for

weeks.

I'm trying to get several hundred rock songs in this format. If you

are interested in cooperating, please Email me. I currently have

20 or 30 songs in the SIMP format, which I have found easier to

play than any other format I have seen.

SIMP format briefly:

A: Chords printed with every line

B: It should be easily printable on 1 (sometimes 2) pages.

C: Chord chart included.

D: If some of the chord changes aren't really apparent, put them

in ( ) so that some players can skip them

E: You should be able to play it really easily

Does this sound like something you are interested in? If so, please

E-mail me. If you're interested in bilaterally exchanging songs in SIMP,

I'll send you a list of what I have so far.
