With the strict compliance ordered by the NMPA to shut down unauthorized Free Tab sites, I doubt that most qualified artists from this site would Tab out something without permission to do so.. Especially not for resale...........
Most of the large Tab Sites operating presently are not threatened by US Law (Sites Located in Russia, etc....).......
There are authorized sites that sell Tab/Sheet Music by individual song titles. Just hope that they have the exact song you want as a single. Regardless, I personally don't buy Tabbed material. Tabs have a value and are used by many players and play song pieces from them. However, there is a price that's paid by those who rely heavily on following the numbers for proper finger placement. I relate it to "Painting by Numbers" an Artist Paints a scene, Then the numbers show non-artists how to paint a copied version. The Price paid is not related to learning Theory, reading music or knowing the name of every note on the fretboard. A lot of players rip it up without knowing much about Theory, which means they have an incredible trained ear guiding them.
The price paid usually resorts to a lack in the art of Transcribing.
Transcribing is difficult in the beginning and becomes a skill that develops a player into an artist. The Tab author needs the skill in transcribing to write the tab properly.
