![]() The “Q” stands for quarter note, the “E” is an eighth note, and the “S” is a sixteenth note. There used to be a website called “.uk” that had hundreds of guitar tabs by artists like Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani, and other 80’s metal shredders that were 100% accurate with all guitars transcribed and all rhythms written above the tabs. How do I know this? Well let me fill you in a little internet history. ![]() ![]() Specifically, what’s currently listed as version 4 tab is totally accurate, and that’s because it’s actually a transcription from a magazine that’s been converted to the internet tab format. The one thing I would like to point out about this site is that there are actually some perfect transcriptions of famous songs, such as “All Along The Watchtower” by Jimi Hendrix from the Electric Ladyland album. I do like the fact that the chord/lyric charts can be transposed, so if they’re written in E flat tuning I can adjust the chords up a half step with the click of a button. These kind of errors are pretty common on this site as there doesn’t seem to be any moderation of what tabs can get listed. I generally hold my nose and go to, hoping for the best, and being fully prepared to explain to or remind the student that what the transcriber has called C9 (x32033) is actually Cadd9. Whether or not that tab is accurate is another story. When students ask me to show them a song by a band I’ve never heard of, I can often find a guitar tab online no matter how new the song is. It amazes me how quickly songs get transcribed these days. ![]()
