Hi crew I'm trying to track down some tabs for a couple of songs and was wondering what is the best source for doing this.

 

I want Hey Joe and purple haze and little wings.

 

thanks.

With all due respect, I'd say the best source of tabs is your ears.

 

 

Sometimes getting an unfamiliar voicing can be like cracking a combination lock. Tabs'll at least show you where the notes are.

Absolutely. Some of the guys who do these tabs are downright amazing in their ability to pick out stuff you or I would never catch. Guys like Dave Whitehill are genuine guitar gods in their own right, it would be crazy to ignore their resources.

I agree here. I'd also say, using ones own ears in combination with TBAS will be a very good learning tool.

Try to transcribe as much as you can, and when you get stuck check a TAB, but go on transcribing all you can get using your ears. At the end compare to the TABS and have a close look at the parts that are different.

What about SheetMusicDirect.com? I got SRV's Texas Flood for $0.99, and it's a beautifully typeset guitar tab with G-clef staff. You do have to load Sibelius Scorch plugin to see a sample page. The transcription seems very true to the album recording. You can pay with PayPal. Hey Joe is here, also $0.99: http://www.sheetmusicdirect.us/search/productDetail.do?itemId=1000039827

BTW, I have no relationship with this company, and I've only used them once, but it worked out fine for me. Also, if you go to the .com address, you can pick your country and they'll give you prices in the local currency.
