There's some great software (shareware/freeware/commercial) to help you with
guitar tab. Here are some of my favorites.
Quickbeat -- This is the product I've been looking for! Most musicians will agree that the best way to develop groove is by playing with a drummer. Drum machines are complicated, though -- and real drummers have their own special "quirks"! Quickbeat gives you great drum sounds AND it is amazingly simple to use!
TEFView From the
TabEdit folks, this stripped down free version doesn't have
all the bells and whistles -- but it probably has the ones you need.
Melody Assistant My
personal favorite, it not only does TAB, it does ABC, MIDI, WAV, and who knows
what else. Real low-cost quality shareware from a group in France!
When I look for tabs, I usually start with this Tab Search Robot. The following search box will check thousands of tabs(!!!) -- just enter the song title, then press the search button!
Looking for tab directories, lessons, alternative tunings, articles, etc? Try
these neat links!
Free Sheet Music The Mother of all Free Sheet Music Sites; bazzilions of links to free sheet music downloads (including guitar tabs), lessons, articles, and tips. Kinda disorganized, but that's part of the appeal. It's kind of like shopping in Filene's basement.

Top 100 Guitar Solos (of all time!)
Guitar tab and way cool! The top 100 guitar solos of all time as selected by
the readers of "Guitar World". As expected, it's heavy on rock and
non-existant on jazz, but it's still a good list. What makes it neat are
links to tabs of the solos -- wail and shred like Jimmy or Jimi! (I must
confess -- I am baffled how "Cinammon Girl" always makes these lists! And it
beats "Scuttle Buttin'"!?!?!?!)
A Guide to Jazz Guitar : jazz
guitar lessons, tabs, chords, licks, transcriptions, mp3 & more.
Blue Hen Records
Jim Campilongo's (from Guitar Magazine) guitar-related site -- has a GREAT

popular folk songs, etc.

Brent D. Stuntzner
"I have over 100 pages of jazz solo transcriptions with TAB (for guitarsits),
MIDI representations (for learning by ear) and Jam Tracks (for practice)."
Really nicely done -- well worth a visit! I really like the MIDI accompanying
the standard notation. Note that I said standard notation, not just tab!
This is a good site for any treble clef instrument, not just guitars!

anxiety."
Spencer Doidge's Classical Guitar
... and Fingerpicking Guitar page! To tell you the truth, I wasn't expecting
to find the quantity and quality of pieces here that I did. Well worth a look
if you're looking for classical or flatpicking guitar music.
Dan Mozell's Page.
A lot of nice jigs, hornpipes, and other folksy tunes in GIF format. Also
includes guitar tab along with the standard music notation GIF's.
