Looking for Excellent Guitar Tab sites (pay is fine)

Looking for sites that have a lot more info than just the chord progression and a couple of riffs. I can figure that stuff out =)

Just wondered if people have come across something out there that is closer to the magazines (Guitar Player, etc) in regards to transcription quality than OLGA (which is cool, but...)

thanks

If you want something as nicely formated as the magazines. I'm not sure...I've never really searched sites for that. I usually just go to a music store and cough up a few bucks.

For ghetto tab I generally use http://www.guitarnotes.com (warning there are a lot of pop ups best I remember...I use pop up blocker so I can't remember if it's the guitar site or the lyric site I use which is worse)

Anyways, that site is more or less links to tab that people have one their sites that they submitted....it's nearly all text file...but a lot of them are quite complete. It depends on how well known the song is I guess as to how thorough the results will be. It's not great, but it gets me tabs. ;)

I'd actually be curious if there is a 'good' site out there...i'd probably convert in a heartbeat.

http://www.mxtabs.net is halfway decent. Some songs have fairly detailed tabs, others not so much. I really like to go by ear when learning a new song, but for some guidlines I usually check this place out.

Honestly I've done a small amount of searching for tab sites and haven't found anything that could truely be as good as magazines or official guitar tab books. Though I've skipped over paysites. If I really want the real stuff I buy the tab book.

First, download Guitar Pro 4 off Kazaa or something - its the most awesome program in existence for guitar (tablature and notation).

The best tab site ever:
