As has been mentioned before, TABs should be looked as a guide, not gospel 8)

I've had good luck using web tabs when I have a song that I want to figure out for myself or make up my own, simple, arrangement of. The tab helps out because it gives me the chords somebody else has already worked out and I go from there.

Likewise, I've come across some really good tabs that I can play songs from.

But I've come across a lot of web tabs that are confusing, or that are really poor arrangements. And I've found some that were just downright wrong - for example, a version of Bron Yr Aur that was written in standard tuning and which was just wacked. I worked for a week and couldn't get anywhere with it, then saw the first page of a commercial tab of Bron Yr Aur and realized that it was in an alternate tuning. I bough the tab, worked for an hour and it was almost like the song played itself.

I've gotten to the place where I'm willing to buy books or buy tabs from a pay site like Music Notes. A good tab transcription of a song you really want to play is well worth paying for. In fact, if I have to I'll buy a whole book of tabs for a single song. Web tabs are fun and great and a really cool thing but so are professional transcriptions.]]> Guitar Players Discussion quarterfront https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/crappy-tablature-websites/#post-234905 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/crappy-tablature-websites/#post-234903 Tue, 20 Mar 2007 17:43:58 +0000 http://www.chordie.com The tabs aren't any better than any of the other sites out there because Chordie is really just a meta site that links to all (or at least many) of the other tab sites.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Hyperborea https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/crappy-tablature-websites/#post-234903 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/crappy-tablature-websites/#post-234879 Tue, 20 Mar 2007 15:04:42 +0000 many times I hear things differently than tabbed.

I was looking for "so far away" by carole king and it is the worst tab ever. It isn't even close but it's on almost all the sites.

I've just learned to take a quick gander at the tab sites, put the mp3 on and slow it down and listen to it for half an hour. I can figure anything out this way.]]> Guitar Players Discussion Nick Torres https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/crappy-tablature-websites/#post-234872 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/crappy-tablature-websites/#post-234870 Tue, 20 Mar 2007 13:08:15 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion redneckrocker https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/crappy-tablature-websites/#post-234870 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/crappy-tablature-websites/#post-234861 Tue, 20 Mar 2007 08:25:53 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion vanzant38 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/crappy-tablature-websites/#post-234861 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/crappy-tablature-websites/#post-234826 Tue, 20 Mar 2007 03:35:45 +0000 http://www.ultimate-guitar.com and never had an issue with excess of adverts, and each of the tabs is graded out of 5 stars so you can avoid the crappy ones easily.
