copy and paste into notepad or something. hope it was the right tabs..

The reality is that we do not wash our own laundry - it just gets dirtier.

I dont think these are exactly right or maybe the song is played in dropped D because when i play along it doesnt sound right half the time. Thanks for looking though. If anyone actually plays the song and knows if its dropped D or if there are better tabs out there let me know.

its funner when u figure it out without using tabs. you should try it.

Use your ears, not your eyes!
I prefer Pepsi over Tab, but, if your gonna go for Tab, at least try to realize the tune might be at a slightly different pitch when it's recorded.

Be careful following the masses. Sometimes the "M" is silent...........................

Don't know if you play out or not, but when you learn a song by ear, you are slowly memorizing the song...then when you play it live....or do you bring your big book of tabs to the club?

I learned Squad Car by tabs i found on this site..and everytime i want to play it I have to log on and read the tabs, I have to bring a computer to every gig where we play Squad Car.. Shocked

This is a great tune. I learned the lead part mostly from watching videos on YouTube -- there are lots of different samples available. I found two guitar tabs and both are wrong to one extent or another. If I get ambitious, I'll post a corrected version.

How did you get ambitious? Or was that sarcasm?

Well.. I don't have my guitar with me. but just looking at that tabs and imagining the notes, looks pretty accurate. Smile

Excellent work Woodsurfer. This is one of THE BEST surf tunes ever written IMO.
Thanks for posting the tabs.... correct ones at that. I'll bet many of the members here can make good use of them.

Great stuff...and thanks for introducing me to the tune.

I found this great U-tube of a guy showing how to play it that fills a few blanks...nice work and sound...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YWyQ5EZhgU&feature=related

No. That person would refer to "utub"

Glad to be of service.

JakeDobner -- no, no -- sarcasm is the refuge of those who haven't mastered irony Wink I was referring to my previous post: "If I get ambitious, I'll post a corrected version".

I'm confused how it was ambition then. You didn't tab the song out. You just copy and pasted something.

May look that way but I actually corrected a bunch of mistakes.
