All of the acoustic guitar
Tablature shown below is in TablEdit format. This program, which allows
you to input tablature for many stringed and other acoustic instruments and to
print it out, as well as play it through your computer's speakers and to export
it as a Midi File, can be obtained in Demo form for free at TablEdit.
This demo will allow you to play back TablEdit tab files; and you can now
download in excess of 10,000 tunes in this format from the TablEdit library
site. Registration details for the full version of the software can be found at
the site. Do have a look at the TablEdit Demo, it will let you play and
see the tablatures; the software is excellent. Please do play the midi files and/or
download the TablEdit tablature for any of the tunes below, have fun playing
them and let me know what you think -
. You will need the full TablEdit program, or the new free TefView (see below) program, to be able to print and/or play these tablature downloads. Cheers and keep on pluckin'.
Those downloading the Zipped versions of the tabs should then use 7-Zip, WinZip, PKZip,
or a similar program, to unpack the files on your hard-drive. All tunes updated as at 17/01/2023.
