As you begin to learn to play the guitar, you want to find sheet music for the songs you want to play. The good news is the internet is teeming with sites where you can search for music, and much of that music is free. Free guitar tabs are submitted to sites by thousands of users all over the world. On the down side, that means some of the free guitar tabs are bad. The key is to go to sites that are popular for featuring free sheet music that ranges from good to exceptionally accurate. As community-based sites, some of the free guitar sheet music sites have rating systems for users to vote for tab versions they like.

Ultimate Guitar

This free guitar tabs website is easily the most popular among the guitar sites. As of December 2018, the website has a little more than 1,100,000 free sheet music for guitars. With such an immense collection of tablature, you can find sheet music for your favorite songs in different arrangements, versions and even genres. Apart from the user submitted tabs, you can also find official tabs, sheet music for bass, ukulele and backing tracks for pro users.

The Guitar Lesson

If you're still in the process of learning how to play the guitar, then this website would be a good place to look for music. Not only does it have tons of free video tutorials you can watch at your convenience, it also has a large collection of free sheet music for guitars you can download and print out. The only catch is that you have to give them a "Like" on their social media pages to access some of the tabs. However, it's just a small inconvenience in exchange for free lessons and tabs.

Guitar Tabs

Another good website with a large collection of free sheet music for guitars, it has a no-frills, straightforward homepage. You can immediately type the song to get its tabs, scroll down the collection of top 25 sheet music or browse the most recent updates. One of the downsides to this site is it doesn't have a print feature on the actual tab page. You have to copy and paste the sheet music into a document if you want to print it.

Guitare Tab

This is somewhat similar to the previous entry, with the only difference being that the homepage also displays top community-rated tabs. It may not look like much, but it provides you with an alternative source of free sheet music.

911 Tabs

This site is like Google for guitar sheet music. It also has a straightforward homepage that is smartphone friendly where you can do your search. One obvious advantage of this site is you can search for the guitar tabs and then practice anywhere as long you as you have your phone, an internet connection and your guitar with you.
