mxtabs.net is the best guitar tab site available, it should have any song you're looking for, and there's user ratings, so songs with 5 star ratings should be accurate.

www.ultimate-guitar.com has a lot, and as far as I know, most of them are accurate. Hope I helped.

oh cool because i just started learning guitar like 4 months ago (although i only learned it for about like 2 months and ive been off the lesson because that guy only teached basics...)

well you know you have to have patients because playing guitar adds pain to your finger tips lol but you should really stick to it because when you are bored or have like talent show at your school or meeting new people? they would come in HANDY! and of course... all the tabs are all freakin wrong and i get soo mad. and even though people say tabs are easier, that is not true. CHORDS are wayyyy easier...(it might just be me but think about it)

just putting your finger on certain position and strumming it down (chords) or changing your finger like every 2 seconds (tabs)?

well do you like Red Hot Chilli Peppers?

if not, you should consider listening to them, i didnt like them either well never bothered to listen to it but my guy friend suggested me and he was totally right. they rock!

and if you are girl, you will make lots of cute guy friend like that lol and if you are a guy then you will meet some cool dudes through that.

and if you get the chords for the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, they are always right. and if you cant find one for the red hot chilli peps? email me and i will give you the chords for few songs and they are all in the right keys so they will sound great if you are playing with the CD on .

i was just doing that few min ago..

well hope this helped and let me know if you still want to ask me something

=)

There's no such thing as an accurate tab. All tabs, even the best ones done by professionals in those Guitar and Guitar Player and other such magazines... always wrong in one way or another. Tablature is meant to be a guide, show you the someone's thoughts on how to play a song... tablature in that regard, does not instruct.

Remember, all tablature that you can download is just what someone like you or I has figured out on their own - tablature is an old tradition, for the purpose of trying to better understand and learn songs. They are a decent place to start, but you can't rely on tablature.

Your best tool will be your ears - play along with CDs, play using the tablature, and don't be afraid to screw up or to rewind to re-hear something to make sure you think you heard it right. Listen to bits and pieces, then pick up the guitar and figure out how to play it. Your ears, once trained, will be your greatest tool.
