the title says it all. i want to find resources for accrate sheet music (or at least guitar tabs) for classic rock songs, and i do not have much money, so free is best.

 

https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/ is a great place to start for tabs and chords. There are also lots of classic rock fake/real books, just hunt them down on google. Similarly you can find tab books for free if you search for them.

 

I would say the overabused and overevaluated musescore, but I think you know already.

The problem with most score sites is that many times the scores are (over) simplified (fake books) - so let's say instead of Db you find C. Not that huge problem, except if there are several modulations that risk to make things worse.

Here I found something for my purposes (Billy Joel), but you have to see yourself if it fits your requirements.
The Piano Notes

 

https://www.songsterr.com/ is the most accurate.

 

Nicely made site, for sure much better than musescore. However it's just for guitar(?)

 

It's for every instrument also available in guitar pro.

 

7 of my favorite sites to find tons of free sheet music for any instrument.

thank you all for your suggestions! i appreciate the members of this forum who provide helpful answers to questions.

 

Check the sister site for "site rip" and "tabs pack", those will yield a bunch of guit-pro files, which can be viewed as music notation

 

Hello. One good place to find good guitar TAB books is the Internet Archive. Once you are there select the Text section (or icon) and then in the search bar just type in Guitar TAB and you'll get a lot of great results. Click on the one you want and scroll down and there usually is a variety of ways to download the file. I usually just choose Torrent and then it downloads. Now not all of them can be downloaded, but most can.

There is another great site that has a bunch of music books, but I got flagged once for posting the link to it on here. But as a hint...there is an ARCHIVE of thousands of books & magazines out there and they are owned by somebody named ANNA'S.
