Some All-Access Members have asked about tutorials and tabs for entire songs. Creating complete full tutorials for entire songs would be too time consuming so I thought this would be the next best thing by giving you links to the tab.


Why are you not just giving us the free tabs? I have a business association with Ultimate Guitar. My guitar course are available on their course platform. They pay me royalties each month on my courses. I don't want to mess up that relationship by taking guitar tabs off of their site and giving them away for free or appearing to charge people for them.
