All the normal websites have subscriptions and make it a nightmare to print off. I tried looking elsewhere but no where seams to do tabs. Am I missing something obvious?

I’ve seen this one mentioned before for guitar tabs : https://tabarchive.mikethetech.com/

Edit: has been pointed out that they had to disable downloading for legal reasons. Bummer. Way back machine has some of the data archived (may 2022 has some which can be downloaded, but others are dec 2022 or newer which are archived)

Edit2: found a better archive I think. don’t know if my linking it will draw more attention and we lose it. I downloaded a copy just in case and removed the link. Instead I’ll link where I got it from: https://filepursuit.com/ search for mikethetech

This is an anecdote because that site brought me back to another time. Feel free to skip it.

They have part of the OLGA archive there! Back in the day that was my go to. I had printed out multiple three ring binders full of tabs from there. When I would start working with new musicians I would put together a fakebook of 40-50 songs of the right style and just sit around and practice them.

That's how I went from being a terrible guitarist full of passion to a mediocre guitarist who could badly fake anything well enough that it's almost recognizable. It was such a great time.

Oh man the OLGA takes me back. Hadn’t heard that name in years.

Given how many guitar tabs archives are online today it's a shame what happened.
