I'm not a big fan of tablature, as I personally believe it is not an approach that teaches the player the soul of what he/she is trying to learn, but not everyone learns the same way.

If you're having trouble finding tab and want to learn it, I'll make a suggestion. There are quite a few programs you can download that will take a music file and slow down the tempo without changing the pitch. I use Audacity for slowing down those blisteringly fast Irish tradional music I try to play. It works well for that purpose and it's free. In fact, it may even allow you to boost the bass so the bass line will stand out more. You can slow down your song to a tempo you're comfortable with, learn the lines, practice along, then gradually start ramping up the tempo to full speed. You'll find yourself developing into a more confident musician who responds to sound rather than tab lines.

Give it a try.
