I’m struggling to find the motivation to tab anything lately 😒

    I’ve got quite a few I would be super grateful if someone tabbed. Here is a just a few of them:

    Onslaught - Shellshock

    Angel Witch - Confused

    Anthrax - SSC (the fast shredding part, you will know what I mean, this one might be a challenge)

    Overkill - Keeper

    Evildead - Parricide

    Let me know if you want more ;). I would be willing to do it myself, except I’m pretty shit at music theory (and guitar in general xD).

    EDIT: formatting.

      Nice list! I don’t think I know any of these songs, so it will be interesting to tackle something new (to me). I’ve made a start on Onslaught: Shellshock. I take forever to tab stuff, so don’t hold your breath waiting for it haha, but I will try to get it done before 2026 👀

        Hey no worries, I’m just super happy someone is attempting them. I’ve wanted some of these for ages. Thanks a ton!

          Hey mate, I finished the Guitar Pro 8 version of the tab, I just need to do the text version now (will probably take another day or two), but in the meantime here’s the GP8 file:

          https://pmtabs.net/wp-content/uploads/Onslaught-Shellshock.zip

          If you don’t have GP8, the free TuxGuitar can open the file, although it will sound awful (and lacks drums). But if you just wanna learn the riffs, it’ll suffice 👍

            Holy shit dude! I’m speechless! That’s super impressive and sounds spot on to me! Can’t wait to learn it. If only all tab makers were as good as you! Tysm! EDIT: did you enjoy making it? What did you think of the song? How difficult?

              Replying to your edit!

              I enjoyed it for sure, I hadn’t heard this band before and now I’m a fan, which is awesome.

              It wasn’t super difficult, though I was stumped in one place for a bit but eventually got through it. Luckily there are a couple of live videos available from before the song was rewritten to be much more simple in the 2000s (for example, in the newer version, most of the riff complexity is replaced with simple 1-finger Drop D power chords, which was useless to me as I was tabbing the O.G. version). It was fun researching the song and trying to catch a glimpse of where certain riffs are played on the neck etc. Kinda hard when the videos are from ancient VHSes from the '80s 😆

                I’m glad you enjoyed it! Don’t feel obliged to do the rest if you don’t want to, ik it is time consuming haha. That said, like I mentioned if you are ever lacking motivation etc. there are plenty where that came from, so if the listed ones there aren’t enough or aren’t your style, just let me know. Super grateful for the tab, and the huge amount of time it must have taken to make. Thanks again!

                  Finished the text version, and made a small correction in the GP8 file 👍

                  When I’m in the headspace to do another tab, I’ll definitely have another look at your list!

                  Cheers.
