Location: Avondale, AZ | I probably could find the answer with a search but I thought this would be easier. What are some sights with free guitar tabs? |

Location: Vernon CT | Try Chordie. What I like about it,is it has the ability to change the key of the song. Chords only. If a lead or fill is "tabbed" out it stays in the original key. |

If you're using one of them and suddenly think "THAT chord doesn't sound right", it probably isn't. :) |

If you're using one of them and suddenly think "THAT chord doesn't sound right", it probably isn't. :) That is an understatement! I would rate most tabs at about 60% at best. For me, the tab or chords get me in the ballpark and then I spend a few hours figuring out how it really goes. If all you want is to pass the "galloping horse" test (nobody would notice the difference while riding by on a galloping horse), the online sources are good enough. |

Location: NJ | I generally try Chordie first, and agree that the whole "accuracy'-thing CAN be questionable (depending upon who posts the chords/tabs), but 9-out-of-10 times, it'll put you "in the ballpark" and you can "fix" it yourself . . .
WhatEVER you do, avoid trying to "show your support" by ordering a t-shirt from them. They are TOTAL sh!t. I ordered a couple last Christmas (one was ear-marked as a gift), and was totally pissed by the crap they were trying to pass off.
Several attempts at "Customer Service" (the shirts were printed in France) got me NOwhere, so ended up going on their "Forum" and hit them with both barrels . . .
. . . I was summarily thrown off.
The accuracy of the songs/tabs is HIGHLY subjective. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I'm with OMA. Ultimate Guitar Tabs. I would be surprised if 50% are correct. Many are not even in the right key. They have several in Powertab, which you can listen to. I've found those to be the most accurate, but some are played on a synthesizer that is hard to recognize as a guitar.
I do the google search too, but it usually leads me back to Ultimate Guitar Tabs. |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | Now that I sent some new folks to Ultimate Guitar, I forgot to warn you... (my bad)
Ultimate Guitar is the reason why I switched to Firefox. They have way too many pop-ups, but Firefox blocks alot of them.
It might be better with the newer IE, but I don't use it so I don't know.
I am in no way affiliated with Firefox, but someone in the OFC turned me on to it...
Firefox.... Choose your Language. |
