Who are the idiots who post tabs on the interwebs?

Links and other hanky panky that doesn't have to do with anything in particular.

Seriously. Are people really this stupid? It's an amazing rarity to find a song correctly represented on any of the major sites. I'm not talking minor issues on tablature, I'm talking about chord pages having ridiculous, obvious inaccuracies, making the song unplayable.

Post examples here if you like.

Dear god that's so wrong. 'C' in the fucking bridge? Are you retarded?

Agh.

Well, I mean, after all, it is just their "interpretation" of the chords.

Yup, you can tell the author of those tabs is Brazilian.
Maybe he was playing “Georgia on my mind” bossa nova style ?

I hear ya though... what is really the issue is how wrong tabs stay up for ever!

I'm no tab machine, and I appreciate people who take the time to do their best to explain what they've heard...

But!! I do remember this one tab for Foo Fighter's I'll Stick around and it was sooo wrong... (it's not up anymore, I looked to link to it) but what was annoying wasnt' teh wrongness...


It was the way teh tabber KEPT writing "It's so simple, just do this... "

The arrogance coupled with the inaccuracy made me appreciate professional sheet music and tabs.

As in: there's a reason tabs on the net are free, and a book costs you some dough.
