Guitar Tablature

The internet has created many a love/hate relationship, guitar tablature being one of them. With the demise of the On-Line Guitar Archive (OLGA), due to copyright questions, guitar tabs on the internet have gone down hill.

Nowadays, most tablature sites are so full of pop-ups and other crap that you rarely find what you are looking for. And by the time you do, you have three or four windows open. For an example of this, try tabster. Another problem is that most tablature sites eventually lead you to the same exact tab no matter which site you use. This lack of diversity leads to many problems, namely when the only version is incorrect or just doesn't sound right. Most of these sites just lead you in one big circle, linking to each other.

Here are a few decent tab sites:

Here is an ftp Archive site with all of the old OLGA stuff. Not sure how long it will be up. For instructions, go here.
