Step 1
Look for free guitar tabs on guitar based web sites. Many popular sites offer free guitar tabs for many reasons. Some may offer free samples in hopes that you will purchase more. Others may offer lessons and provide free guitar tabs as an added bonus. There may be web sites where the tabs are submitted by users, or the site is able to offer free tabs because they make money from advertising, etc.
