Where can I buy official tab?

I don't mind paying for decent tab. I'm looking to buy a few one off songs and don't necessarily want to buy the whole books.

Does anyone know of a website that sells official (or decent) tab song tab for a couple of bucks?

I think Guitar World offered this service briefly but their website seems to have returned to a disorganized mess of advertising.

All suggestions welcome. Thanks!

www.unitedwetab.com is accurate and very reasonable.

Like you, I'd rather pay individually for what I want than get a book with only a few Ill use.

www.sheetmusicdirect.com is great... Though you only get one shot at printing it out... Otherwise you have to buy the song again!

www.musicnotes.com is more expensive but they give you multiple print attempts if something goes wrong, plus a file you can save to your hardrive.

Thanks for the suggestions. I ended up using Musicnotes to buy what I was after but I'm glad to have a few more resources for next time.

UWT is shutting down. Good site but they are calling quits. I used to use them a ton. I use Guitar Instructor mainly but they only have Hal Leonard artists. Musicnotes is much more costly. You can buy a discount card and they do give quantity discounts but paying near retail rack price for sheet music, when I am supplying the ink, paper and delivery pipeline is excessive, IMO. It appears totalsheetmusic.com has the Alfred's stuff. I appreciate getting that link...

Thanks!

I thought they were too, but that was supposed to happen July 15 I think and all of a sudden the message about going down disappeared.

Todd who runs the site told me to get all my stuff printed but the site is still up. Hmmm.......

I will send him an email.

Thanks!

you can always 'print' it to a .pdf file maker via readily available freeware
then save the .pdf on your computer and view/print it with adobe reader as much as you need
