it's not perfect, everything is more or less homemade since they don't want to get sued. your best bet is to get multiple versions of tabs and piece together the best version you can get. it's also very rare to find solos tabbed out as well, and when you do.... well... you think the rhythm is tabbed out wrong.... HA!

or spend the $40 at the music store for the proper book. last time i spied GW magazine it still had a half dozen tunes in it as well. not just new stuff either, which makes for a much cheaper option if they feature a tune you're looking for.
Yeah OLGA was the shizz, I remember it from when I first started playing in like 98'-99'
