Official Guitar Transcriptions
If you are looking to buy books or digital sheet music with authentic tabs, Guitar Noise has has teamed up with Sheet Music Plus and Amazon.com to bring you the largest possible selection. Over the years we have sold thousands of books as an affiliate of these sites. Between these two online stores you will probably find authentic transcriptions for just about any song want.
In The News
In 2006, The Music Publishers’ Association began taking legal action against web sites that contained guitar tablature. These actions, which consisted of takedown letters to website owners and their Internet service providers, proved to be very effective. As of this writing many of the once popular guitar tab sites have removed their content. Currently no “authorized” sites have replaced the void this has created. There has been a lively and well informed discussion of this issue on the Guitar Noise Forums.
