I tried to get it to generate tabs for Where is my Mind by the Pixies. I see the chords, but get the NO icon (red circle with diagonal bar) when I try to click on tabs. Am I doing something wrong?

A couple of weeks ago I asked one of the AIs to teach me this song. It responded that it can't teach specifics or tell me strumming patterns because it would be a copyright violation. I told it that if I went to a human teacher, they would have no problem teaching me how to play along to the song. That was a good enough argument to get the AI to changed its mind (whatever that means) and produced a chord chart and strumming pattern (which was wrong).

It’s a weird technicality of copyright law. When a human teacher plays a song that is a private performance of a composition. When a computer plays a song copyright law treats this as a mechanical copy of the composition and public performance of the composition. When a computer displays musical notation for a composition that is also a mechanical copy.

Private performance of a composition is permitted under copyright law. Creating a mechanical copy and making a public performance requires a licence from a copyright owner and so without that licence there is, in the eyes of copyright law, a breach of copyright.

Off topic, but you may enjoy this guy's cover and hopefully get some pointers on how to play it as well. Although he definitely plays it differently than most
