Pirating guitar and bass tabs? (sh.itjust.works)

It seems like the only two options to get tabs nowadays are gtabs and songsterr. I prefer songsterr out of the two, but constantly get harassed to buy the premium version and certain important features are paywalled.

Basically my question is is there a way to bypass the premium subscription to get all the full features or a better alternative out there with a database of tabs as large as the two have. I want to be able to hear the playback of the tab and control the speed at which it goes.

Ultimate-Guitar has a massive library of free tabs. You don't need their Pro subscription.

The thing about ultimate guitar is that you can't hear the playback without the pro subscription. That's an important thing for me to have.

So like, I know this might sound weird, and I hate to be "that guy" but...

Is it really necessary? I get you probably want to play it like it's guitar hero, which is cool and great and all. Just, you could also queue up the song in youtube and do it old-school style.

It's just, good not to be too dependent on your limitations when learning an instrument. At some point, you will surpass them.

Good luck though, don't let me bring you down.
