About
Please note that although the Guitar Pro tabs on this site can be opened in other applications, such as TuxGuitar, many crucial aspects of the tabs will look and sound incorrect/glitchy in these other programs, including certain kinds of slides, bends, whammy articulations and markers/text. The same is also true if you open a Guitar Pro 5 tab in Guitar Pro 6, 7 or 8. It is highly recommended that you use the most recent version of Guitar Pro 5 to open those older Guitar Pro 5 tabs, and to use Guitar Pro 8 for tabs created in later versions of the program.
If you need anything exported from Guitar Pro (such as images, XML, and so on), feel free to email me. I’m also open to requests to “clean up” Guitar Pro tabs within the TuxGuitar editor so they’re actually usable. Just let me know what you need!

Contact
If you need something tabbed, feel free to contact me for a request. There’s a higher chance of me accepting requests if they’re for bands/genres which are already represented on my site.
Note that these tabs span 17 or 18 years (as of 2022), and my earlier tabs – basically anything pre-2017 – are something of an embarrassment. If you find any particularly awful tabs and you need an updated version, or if the tab in question is simply a couple of years old, fire me an email (or contact me via one of the means listed above). In the meantime, I’m very slowly working my way through my collection and making things more presentable, and in most cases I’m just retabbing the songs entirely from scratch.
Also worth noting is that this site is the only place where my tabs are maintained; if you find them elsewhere, chances are they’re severely out of date, and in most cases were published without any input from me.
I’d appreciate it if my tabs aren’t re-uploaded to places like Ultimate Guitar. I used to be active on sites like that, but chose to leave when the owners made some questionable ethical moves. I never charge for tab requests, but leaving my tabs in my control is a great way to repay me!
