Guitar again lol hey! I know you're the best person here to ask about guitar know-how so I was wondering if you know where I could find songs for the guitar but not for lead, like the tabs. I need it for one of the other girls in my band. I need it for rhythm guitar. You know the chords, I was just wondering if you knew a website or something along those lines. Thanks!

Any site that offers tablature usually offer chord chartings as well. Tablature files are the .tab files, whereas chord maps are usually called .crd files. More people use the tab for solos, so you won't find as many .crd files on a whole. However, most of the well-written tablature also has the chords listed, as well as the chordal structure of the song. They usually don't list the rhythm to be played, but 99% of the people I know who use tab wouldn't use that anyway - they will listen to the song to get that, and simply use the tab and/or chord charts as a guide.
I've also found that most chord notation is totally out to lunch. I'll see things listed as Em, when really the chord being played was Em6,9 or you'll see C/D, when it was actually C7. It is easy to get the basic triad down when figuring out chords, but most people aren't trained to hear the more subtle expanded voicings and so they miss them... but when you go to play the song, you can tell because while it won't sound wrong - it won't sound quite right either.
I always put a plug in for the OLGA website, and I get most of the tab/crd (cheat sheets, as I call them) I use from there. www.olga.net ]
