Favortie Web Tab Site(s)

gtaus · November 2007

Always looking for good web tab sites. Currently using TabPower http://www.tabpower.com/. Another one I use frequently is Ultimate-Guitar http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/.

Since good tab sites show up and seem to get shut down so fast, just thought I would start a new thread to update our current favorite web tab sites. If you can add to the discussion, let us know where you get your tabs. Take care.

I also use Ultimate Guitar. What I'd like to know is what other tab sites that have Guitar Pro tabs.

http://www.guitarprotabs.org/ I just discovered GuitarProTabs.org a few days ago. I used to go to mysongbook.com until that was shut down.

Nothing beats Ultimate Guitar for Guitar Pro tabs.

http://www.guitarprosongs.com/ here is a Guitar Pro watering hole.

http://www.licklibrary.com/TutorialsVideos.aspx another spot to breast feed. This one requires a membership.

Guitar World has a few decent lesson tabs. Click on [lessons] and they will give you some video, some audio, and pdf files.

I harvested a lot of cool stuff out of this site. You need to be able to download RAR files. Lots and lots of stuff...you can scroll through. Don't miss the extra stuff listed on the right panel. [click on the months]

http://www.rarlab.com/ ....you can download a trial WINRAR here, if you don't have it. This will enable you to download RAR files.

Have any of you ever used PowerTab? If so, how does it compare to GuitarPro? (other than PowerTab is free)

¡N¢ogN¡+o · November 2007

The quality is not great in PowerTab. It all sounds like a keyboard playing the stuff. It works good to get an idea of how something should sound.

Scotthef...I tried Power Tab only because there were some song versions, I couldn't find in GuitarPro. I didn't care for it much, since I've been using the new GP 5.0 version with the RSE. Power Tab did remind me of the older 4.0 version of GP.

It does beat some of those tab pages. But then again, I find songs in the tab pages, I just can not find otherwise. I think that is how I found Jerry C's version of \"Canon Rock in D.\" I did find a really well laid out tab on that...which is spot on.

I've used lots of different ones - wherever I can find something I can either play to or record over, just for fun (and to procrastinate on writing my own stuff :oops: )
But my favorite website is still:

I've always loved, used, and preferred http://www.guitaretab.com/ .

I always thought ultimate-guitar had too many ads and redirects to really enjoy using it. I like e-chords pretty good.

I like e-chords too. Paid for the year membership just to support them. Good tutorial videos and tons of chord sheets.

I recently stumbled upon a site, Justin Sandercore, I believe is his name, donation site with tab and some video. Also for some some songs, has the tab scrolling automatically, while you watch the video, pretty cool, some of you might enjoy!

How times have changed since I first posted this thread. These days, one of my first sites to check for guitar instruction, is www.YouTube.com. I often find the original song by the original artists on video, along with a couple of guys doing their \"cover\" of the song, and many times I'm lucky enough to find a instructional or two on how to play the song.

Although I still think tab sites can be a valuable resource, these days I often start, and end, with a www.YouTube.com search. If you have the bandwidth to take advantage YouTube, I recommend you check it out if you have not done so already.

On the above mentioned site they are running a contest for playing \"Shoot to thrill by AC/DC, the winner gets a bad-ass SG, cumstom painted, other prizws as well, saw a Marshall amp! Just record yourself playing it, he even gives ya the backing track, pretty cool, go check it out! If not just got to youtube, and watch some of the entries for a good laugh!

I spewed a little post on how I felt the guitar pro tabs lately have been letting me down in regards to the bass tab portion. I'm sure most tabbers for guitar pro are guitar players, and maybe any old bass line works for them. As I have progressed in my bass playing, I am looking for more accurate bass lines in my tabs. Anyway, nobody commented on that post so I guess I'm just talking to myself.

Having said that, I am wondering if anyone out there really has the time to take more accurate tabs, like from Guitar World, which has multiple guitar parts and a good bass line, and is inputting those GW tabs into Guitar Pro?

As for myself, I am pretty much just a downlaoder/user of GP tabs. Between work, the family, learning songs for the next gig...I just don't have the time to sit down and enter in all those tabs like I wish would get entered from the GW mag.

Oh well, thanks for the GP tab link. I still use GP tabs all the time.
