Best site for tabs ?

[Alicia Willis]

Hey guys !
I was curious if anyone has any preferred sites for accurate guitar tabs ? I’m a newbie and have found a few that I like the layout of but I’m unsure of their accuracy. I’ve ran into a couple songs that have completely different tablature depending on the site I’m using. What are y’all’s favorites ?!

I really like this Youtube channel : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwuouiHa8DH3cUottrI9pWw
Personally I prefer video with tabs cause I get to see what the person’s doing. Like PG said in one of the videos, tabs don’t tell you how to play the notes, only where to put your fingers.

Awesome ! Thanks so much for your feedback ! I just checked it out and I think I could work with that! Most of the videos I’ve found don’t include the tab and that’s what I need !

I’ve used http://www.songsterr.com but like a lot of online tabs some stuff is wrong.

Yeah, I’ve been using songsterrr ALOT because I like the way it’s laid out, but I’ve come across some things I thought were a bit off.

I use ultimate-guitar.com they all may not be 100% accurate but they’re good starting places. A lot of times if you go to YouTube type in the name of the song followed by the word lesson there’s someone teaching you how to play it

I use a combination of ultimate-guitar.com and YouTube, too. And I’ve also found many of the contributed tabs at ultimate-guitar.com to be sometimes less than accurate (or, the song I’m searching isn’t there). If it’s a particular album I really like, I’ll splurge for the price of a songbook (especially if it was transcribed by Wolf Marshall – he did a lot of really accurate tabs for 80s rock/metal back in my younger days for guitar magazines).
I will also say that transcribing songs on your own is a great way to develop your ear. Software available for free these days that can slow the tempo of a song while keeping the correct pitch is pretty amazing. I can’t tell you how many tapes I wore out in the 80s playing a small section, rewinding, playing, rewinding just to try and figure out a song!
