Answer 1

Why don't you JUST LEARN TO READ MUSIC?  At your level you can learn to read music just as easily as TABS and you will actually find it BETTER and EASIER to play REAL music rather than TABS and as a plus, you won't have to find someone to transcribe real music into TABS so you can play it... really... trust me on this... LEARN TO READ MUSIC.
