It seems like the only two options to get tabs nowadays are gtabs and songsterr. I prefer songsterr out of the two, but constantly get harassed to buy the premium version and certain important features are paywalled.
Basically my question is is there a way to bypass the premium subscription to get all the full features or a better alternative out there with a database of tabs as large as the two have. I want to be able to hear the playback of the tab and control the speed at which it goes.
I was having the same issue in The past few years so I finally said fuck it and just forced myself to learn things by ear and or finding notes/chords and going from there to figure out the rest. I’ve been playing for decades so it was time to do that anyway. It’s worth it though as you can figure out stuff effortlessly eventually and it’ll make you an even better player.
Pirating by being better at the instrument. Love it.
I’ve been able to play by ear for years but it’s not effortless, it’s much easier to see a chord progression first at least.
So I’m still stuck in the Tab world a bit, except I look up chords to songs then play around with the chords until I have something cool, but that is the beauty of playing finger style, it can sound cool in different ways depending on the strings you play
