Note: Due to the Netscape browser having difficulties downloading some file types, including the TablEdit (.tef) Tablature files, I have included most of the tunes the files in ".zip" format as well. Netscape users please download the zipped (.zip) tablature files to your hard-disk by holding down the 'Shift' key on your keyboard as you click on the 'Download' in the Zipped Tab column below. Then use WinZip, PKUnzip, Zip-files, or a similar program, to unpack the files on your hard-drive. Internet Explorer (IE) users can continue to download the TablEdit ".tef" format tablature files as normal. All tunes updated as at 20/07/2006.

If you like the tabs and/or the music then please do leave me a note on my GuestBook which is on the index page at: http://www.stevemcwilliam.co.uk/guitar/ - Thanks.

: Download the new TablEdit File Viewer 'TEFView' - a free viewer which will show you the TablEdit files/tunes in tab and/or music format and will allow you to both play them and to print them:

Should anyone feel like putting up videos of their playing of these tunes on YouTube then please do feel free to do so. It would be appreciated if you could acknowledge myself as the tabber and also the composer and arranger of the tunes. If you let me know they are up I will include a link to the video from this and other tab pages. Many Thanks.

Many thanks for your order. I will attempt to keep adding new tablature arrangements to the above list as time allows. Please do come back for more and for another look and play when you can. Tell your friends and guitar playing colleagues. Thank you.

 
Top 100 Tab Sites!

It is an excellent medium because it shows exactly where to place your fingers to find the notes and these finger placements are often the best way to find the notes to make the movement of your fretting hand the easiest and simplest as well as the most economical and efficient. One of the major complaints about tablature used to be that it didn't show any timing value so you had to have heard the tune first before you could use the 'finger-map' of the tablature to play it. This is true NO MORE !! The newer software programs for computers allow you to enter tablature and have the timing printed along with the tab. Some, such as TablEdit, will even play back the tablature for you on the computer so that you can hear how the tune goes before you attempt to play it. Tablature usage has never been easier or more approachable. 

One of the other major advantages of tablature is in the use of altered and open tunings on the guitar. Using normal/conventional music notation, every time you change the tuning on your guitar you then have to re-learn the notes on the fingerboard to be able to find them when they are being read from the dots on the printed page. Tablature is no different no matter what the tuning; it still shows the fret numbers which show where you are to put your fingers of your fretting hand (left for most of us!) onto the guitar neck/fretboard. A real advantage !! 

Have a go with the tablature. Download TablEdit from the site as shown above (it is free in a Demo form, and there is also a free file viewer called TefView available from the TablEdit website, both of which which will play all of the more than 6,000 tabs on the site, including all those shown here), and try for yourself. Some tunes are for advanced players but a lot are for beginners, or intermediate players. If you have never played before, give it a try - if you painted by numbers when you were a kid, you can play guitar, after a bit of effort and practice, from numbers now !!

 Good luck and have fun !!
