Hello my Dutch-loving friends,
I am (re) discovering Dutch-language bands from my youth. Doe Maar, Frank Boeijen Groep, Toontje Lager, Amazing Stroopwafels etc.
I already found quite a few tabs, but some are truly terrible.
Do you know of any other tab site, where I can get proper tabs, potentially in Guitar Pro format?
Alvast bedankt!
PS In the meantime: our own bass God Henny Vrienten, singing about a GUITAR he lost (yeah, not a bass) … and playing the guitar! WTF?

I just went through all kinds of Nederpop bands and songs.
Two insights:
many have very funny names
many are very explicit about sex (and drugs)
So … I play them with great joy!

A bit of a digression here but I’ve just taken a look at the Internet and I never knew there were so many Dutch snacks! I’m particularly interested in kaassouffle, poffertjes and bamischijf if you know any groups named after them
Wow is all Dutch food fried?

kaassouffle
Kaassoufflé is the favourite of my girlfriend … it tastes terrible!!!
Poffertjes is GREAT! Also, try the dutch pancakes. They are the real thing, unlike that fluffy american abomination.
The absolute best is … frietje oorlog! Take that with frikandel speciaal and some nice cold Chocomel. It’s heaven for your mouth.
Indeed, all Dutch food is fried, just as God intended.
Except Vla
EDIT We even have machines that sell fast food. Trust me: it’s better than any AI!

(googles…)
Ooo that looks good - although all the references are in Dutch - maybe a secret food?
Oh I would get soo overweight if I lived in the Netherlands. Especially with those humungous vending machines

Frietje oorlog translates to “fries WAR”.
It’s Dutch fries, saté sauce, frites sauce and onions. Yummie!
Fun fact: the Dutch eat 28kg fries per person each year. And still we are among the tallest, slimmest, fittest and generally best looking people (except our king) … maybe the secret is in the fries?

Oh yeah I’ve just checked: Obesity rate Holland - 16%, Obesity rate Poland - 31%.
Must be all the bike riding
Edit - the AI is hallucinating again - Poland about 25% (still too much though)

It was even better some years ago … must be globalization that brings us down
It’s bike riding, sex and drugs that keeps us fit. The three favourite activities of the Dutch!
This discussion makes me wanna get some nice fresh fries…

Hasn’t globalisation been a Dutch thing since the middle ages (thinking of the wool and fabric trade)?

Yeah! But lately I feel strangely drawn to everything European.
Maybe it’s a response to the break down of traditional western constellations?

“Het Goede doel” is more west coast music. I’m originally a west coast boy (Rotterdam) … but I joined the east coast gangs (Nijmegen) … you know, the ones with the “zachte G”
Also … he is using the Songsterr Tab … I am looking for a Dutch Bass Tab site, if that exists???
