Re: 'Tab gobledy goog'

Also, bear in mind that tabs are almost always someone's interpretation of a song.  You are rarely going to get a clear and precise reconstruction of an album release version of a given song by using tabs.  If that is what you're after, you need to go to a music store and buy an authorized set of music.  Tabs are best used, in my opinion, as a kickstart to making your own arrangement of a song that you like. 

Another thing to bear in mind is that some people who think they are really, really good at tabs...aren't.  Whenever I see a message along the lines of "I guarantee that this is 100% accurate," I'm fairly certain that the tabbing is not going to be terribly satisfactory.
