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.

The thing about ultimate guitar is that you can't hear the playback without the pro subscription. That's an important thing for me to have.

So like, I know this might sound weird, and I hate to be "that guy" but...

Is it really necessary? I get you probably want to play it like it's guitar hero, which is cool and great and all. Just, you could also queue up the song in youtube and do it old-school style.

It's just, good not to be too dependent on your limitations when learning an instrument. At some point, you will surpass them.

Good luck though, don't let me bring you down.

I've never played guitar hero so I don't know what you mean by that. I'm learning bass and want to be able to hear the rhythm and actually hear the bass in the program because it's hard to hear in a lot of songs. Eventually I will get to a level where I don't need that, but at this point in my journey I do. YouTube is a lot harder to use than tab programs for me.

Don't fucking let anyone tab shame you my friend. Use them if you need them. The important thing is you are playing and learning and having fun. You can always learn new things too when you are ready.
