Pirating guitar and bass tabs? (sh.itjust.works)

It seems like the only two options to get tabs nowadays are gtabs and songsterr. I prefer songsterr out of the two, but constantly get harassed to buy the premium version and certain important features are paywalled.

Basically my question is is there a way to bypass the premium subscription to get all the full features or a better alternative out there with a database of tabs as large as the two have. I want to be able to hear the playback of the tab and control the speed at which it goes.

Ultimate-Guitar has a massive library of free tabs. You don't need their Pro subscription.

The thing about ultimate guitar is that you can't hear the playback without the pro subscription. That's an important thing for me to have.

You can download PowerTab or TuxGuitar for free. You can also sail the high seas and get the GOAT, Guitar Pro 5. With those programs you can download the Guitar Pro/PowerTab versions of the songs on UG and have all the full featured playback that you want.

I must be a dummy, I cannot find a way to download anything off UG other than PDF. (I do have a premium subscription.)

Can you spell it out for me? Where the heck are the Guitar Pro or PowerTab versions? I just looked around for 5 minutes and could not figure it out.

Edit to add: I saw someone else with the same question and someone posted a pic. I swear to God I have never seen this button in UG!

Gotta choose the Guitar Pro version of the tab in the search results then scroll aaaaalll the way to the bottom of the page to find that button.

Ah hah, now I get it. Thanks!

[–] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Awesome. Glad you found it! Enjoy!

TYVM. I think a big part of my problem is I had been grabbing chords for most things, not tabs... And when I did get tabs I was looking at the Official ones which don't have this download.
