If someone takes the time to put down on paper ( or the internet ) his or her interpretation of someone's performance, I'll use it if it helps me learn. In some 50 years of learning, playing and performing musical works of other musicians,I have bought hundreds of recordings and music books. I think I've supported musicians to the affordable extent I could. Now I'm at the stage of experience where I can (usually) listen to a recording or performance, and remember the chords and arrangements enough to do the song. Occasionally I have written out music or tab for less experienced musicians to help them learn... Is this stealing? I don't think so! But each person has to decide for themselves...
