I play the piano, flute, and accordion, and I'm sure there's lots of other musicians here too.
I think a sheet music exchange would be a good idea, since I often can't find what I want here, or I don't want to buy a huge book for one or two songs.
My idea is that you post here what sheet music you are looking for, and if someone has that music, they can pm you and you can arrange to get copies of the music mailed to you.
ya, I know there are copyright laws, so if you are worried about those, don't participate.

For Guitar, I go here. (http://www.guitartabs.cc/home.php)Since it's users renditions of the songs and not an actual copy of the original, there's no infringement.

I believe that one of the best sites for guitar tabs on the internet is www.mxtabs.net

Not only have you got guitar tabs, but also bass tabs. (and drum tabs for the lesser musicians.) They're rated out of five so you can separate the wheat from the chaff.

Does anyone know sites where I can get piano music so I can play the melody? I've tried and tried, but you have to pay for sheet music. Even if the site says "free sheet music" I can never find it.
