Which leads me to the question of [U]accurate[/U] tab/sheet music.

I don't think bands play the same song the same way all the time. I don't think concert plays are the same as the 'official' music video or what is heard on CD's/vinyl. I do think there's a certain amount of improvisation during the live shows and the same songs are frequently played differently by the same performers.

Aside from different versions from the same band/artist there is the issue of the same song done by different performers, e.g., Prine's tabs or Raitt's tabs for Angel from Montgomery, Joplin or Kristofferson for Me and Bobby McGee? How many rock/folk/country/blues songs are out there that were recorded by multiple artists, each who had a successful release? How many songs are popular in multiple genres and therefore can have major differences in the tabs? What about 'unplugged' versions?

The concept of [U]accurate[/U] tabs is nebulous, IMO, and, aside from copyrighted sheet music, falls to who heard what when. 'Accurate' tabs must be a real bear of a problem.
