    In general, professional quality tabs are not available for many Cockburn songs but should be available for those who are interested in playing along with the CD and improving their guitar-playing. A rating system is being developed to make clear the difference between Approximate and Technically Accurate tabs. Jon Carroll is this section's technical consultant. Please submit tabs to musicians@cockburnproject.net and join the Cockburn-Musicians Discussion List where you can share and discuss tabs and tunings and gear-related info with other Cockburn fans. Use the list to get help and help others become better musicians.
