Tabs that are easy to understand.

I want to learn some songs, but everytime I look up a song that sounds good with a nice riff, I don't understand anything. Take Ozzy with Crazy train. It can't be a difficult riff to learn, but when i check the tab, it was so complicated that i started screaming. Could anyone give me some advice on how to transcribe the tab. I know how the letters are for techniques (b= bend) (hb=halfbend) and so on.

The tab you have is probably wrong tabbed out.

What are you not understanding? Each line stands for a string (spaces don't count),
& the numbers stand for the fret that you are supposed to play. I'm not sure what you mean when you want us to "transcribe" a tab for you, like write the name of the notes?

someone fucked that up. the "22" is two notes on the second fret of the low E... same with that 55. Try that and see if it works.

...And the Crazy train was found on metaltabs.com where it got 4.5 stars.
So the correct tab would be
e----2-2---5-5 and so on?

think about that for a sec, bro....


if the string's open, you can jump to any bloody fret you want!

Needless to say, a low riff like that logically won't start on the 22nd fret. Whoever tabbed that is a moron. And yes, the one on this site is accurate, and you should follow that.
