I’ve not found a similar site for other bands, other than the universal site https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/ .They can be annoying with their ads, but they have a large selection from most everyone.

Who fans are just special. 😁

I often use ultimate-guitar, but my first go to is http://www.bettyloumusic.com/ but you have to be accurate with your spelling, and I like it for it's larger and clean format. What do you get if you pay for ultimate guitar, a better format or what?

I don't pay for UG. That’s why I deal with the ads. (Web version)

There price seems reasonable, but I don't know what you get for it, and it seems no one here pays either.

I realized my problem when I play acoustic is that I emulate Townshend's power chording, like Pete playing a Les Paul into a Hiwatt, but it's only an acoustic guitar... He was that much of an influence on me. I can stop anytime, but I don't want to. It comes though like crap on recordings sometimes, way too hard and too fast.

Oh well, screw recording great tracks, for who? I'd rather bang on the guitar when I finally get it in my hands, it's a release and it's profoundly healing.

I love hearing his tones in my music. A pinnacle for me would be things like Sparks from the Isle of Wight concert. To hear Who undertones or overtones in my guitaring connects me back in time, to another place even.

Me too. And when I was about 14 I was tryin' to do it on a classical guitar! :D

Ultimate Guitar, yeah, been my go-to for years since its roots as OLGA (On Line Guitar Archives). Some of those '60's rock sheets are still exactly the same, good ol' Andrew Rogers transcriptions..

transcriptions..

<veer>

I'm fine with transcribe as a verb describing the process of listening to a performance and "writing down" what was played. But there are enough bass parts transcribed into traditional notation that searching for "bass transcription" returns much different results than "bass tab" so I tend to use "tabbed" when the end result is tablature and not traditional notation :)
