I see a lot of requests for Tabs here in this section, some of them are well thought out and very specific, and others are very ambiguous. People who ask for specific things usually are rewarded with what they ask for, while those who ask for Tab in the most general of terms are usually met with a lot of questions and head shaking. Here are some things that may help someone to get what they want.
1. If you want a tab of a song from a specific artist, then give us the name of that artist along with the name of the song and link a video or an mp3 that has the version that you want. (BTW first time posters are not allowed to post links until their 4th post.) This way if some nice person decides to create a tab for you, they won't be wasting the hours it may take by tabbing out something you may not want.
2. If you don't have a preference of a specific version/recording of a song, then let everyone know the tuning and what style of banjo you play. Bluegrass, Clawhammer, 2 and 3 finger Old-Time, 4-String Jazz, 4-String Irish and Classic Style are all approached differently.
3. If you want a tab of some song or tune that doesn't have banjo in it then you should also let everyone know what style of banjo you play in addition to your skill level. Maybe you want Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen for beginner Clawhammer, or an intermediate Scruggs version of On the Road Again by Willie Nelson, or an advanced 4-String Jazz version of Take the A train by Duke Ellington.
4. When you request your tab, put meaningful information in the title of your post so that people will open it and read it. When I see the title of a post and it says "Tab Requested" or "Question" without any further information, I skip over that post. At least write the name of the song and the style you want or the name of the song and the artist. Such as: "Tab for Down the Road by JD Crowe" or "Clawhammer tab for Loch Lomond"
5. If you want to be able to sing with your tab, tell us what key you want it in. If you're not sure about how to determine the key try to give us the name of the first note of the melody. To do this hit a single note anywhere on the fingerboard and start singing the song from that note. Try other pitches until you find a comfortable range for your voice. If this paragraph makes no sense you might say " Original key."

Good initiative! This should be a sticky.
I thought I had made it a sticky back when. Guess I didn't. I'm not sure it will do any good, as people tend to not look at stickies or read rules or follow what's written, but.... we'll try it and see if it does any good.
My problem with stickies is that I routinely select "active" posts since the last time I was here, so a stickie that is usually just read never shows up on my feed. But that's just me and if I think of it when I'm looking for something, I go back to all posts.
I wish BHO had a "FAQ" section. New members would be directed to become familiar with and use the "FAQ" info before posting questions. I would help reduce the number of redundant questions, and provide informative accurate information.
Richard Hauser They do have a FAQ section. Click on "More" and it's down toward the bottom of the list.
Hi Sherry,
I agree with your post. Stickys only work once people get on BHO. And then most people will ignore that or not even know enough about the "rules" when requesting a tablature to know what that Sticky even mean. Maybe Eric could make it a "signing on to BHO" notice before anyone even logs on to BHO to request a particular Tablaure...Jack

Do you have the tab for Pastures of Plenty....the version by Alison Krause and Union Station.?
I sometimes chuckle when someone who has been playing for only a month or so asks for tab to something by bela fleck or some other progressive player.
Mooo, my curiosity gets the best of me when they just say "tab requested". I take the bait lol.

I have always wondered: Do most people that request a specific tab, by artist, song, recording/ video expect them for free? I have paid for transcriptions of entire songs, specific breaks, or passage (Russell Sawler). I have also purchased from people who put their tabs on their website (i.e. Jack Baker, Eli Gilbert, etc.). Surely anyone requesting a transcription would understand the amount of work that goes into this process?
Perhaps I am off base, and the great pickers that provide some incredible tabs do not mind laboring to transcribe anything banjo. My hat's off to you, if that is what you want to do. I also tip my hat to those who charge for their service.

I don't mind tabbing something that peaks my interest, but yes, depending on level of playing difficulty, it does take some serious time, I find most folks are very appreciative of the effort.

I am searching for tabbed sheet music for 5-string banjo to the song:
"I Ain't Taking You Back No More" played by Ron Stewart on Dan Tyminski's CD "Wheels".
Does anyone know where I can purchase this ?
dglenn1947 - Russell Sawler has transcribed Ron Stewart’s break to that song. For sake on his website bluegrassoutlet.com
Can I pay a transcriber to tab out a few measures of the chord vamping at the end of the banjo break by billy Ray Latham to the song for lovin’ me by the Kentucky colonels? YouTube has it. Search Kentucky colonels that’s what you get for lovin’ me. The banjo break in the middle of the song finishes with billy Ray vamping around at various positions. I have already transcribed 95% of that break. Just am stumped by the vamping thing
I agree
In that regard there was an excellent arrangement of Doug's Tune, in pdf, on BanjoHangout a while back. It was arranged by Mooooo. It is no longer there. Unfortunately I have lost the tab and cannot find it anywhere. Is there anyplace where I might find it? Even use my personal email to contact me at: . Thank you

Thank you for the reminder, I really appreciate the effort of the musicians and contributors of this channel.
Hello im new here,
I think this is great! I would love to request 'pass the promise' by kieth and krystyn getty feat sandra mc cracken. U tube link is youtu.be/tuwAsJBeYNY
Its an irish folk gospel song. Woul like it in bluegrass but also if you feel it would be better played in a different style u can share that also!
Many thanks
Tanya, uk!
It helps when tabs identify the key and the chords for the different measures.
Folks!
It's the internet period. Nobody really care about any rules, they just want what they want--Tabs. All the stickeys in the world will do very little good....Jack
Could you please try to provide tablature for John Anderson's song, "Would You Catch A Falling Star"
Beginner for Scruggs style.
Capo available.
5th string Capo pending
Hi everyone!
I bought my 5-string banjo in February of this year so I am a complete beginner in my banjo journey! To be completely honest, modern pop-folk/indie-folk music drew me into the desire to learn since banjo is not a well-known instrument where I am from.
Sons of The East is a very banjo-forward indie-folk band from Australia whom I am a huge fan of, and I am not classically trained but I would love to be able to play along to the banjo part of their song called "On My Way."
Here is a link to the official audio of the song: youtube.com/watch?v=dCqoPaITHPY
Here is a link to the acoustic live performance of the song: youtube.com/watch?v=m1ZfAX4aL98
If the banjo experts and the trained musicians here can help me figure out the banjo tab for this song, I will be forever grateful!
Thanks very much in advance,
Afifa
