Do the songbooks available on the website have TAB? I don't read music very well (though my wife is taking fiddle lessons and will be helping me). :(

I have both This Side and Nickel Creek songbooks and they all have the music notation(like what you would see for fiddle music). I am not really sure what you mean. Is this what you are talking about?

Are you talking about this style

or are you talking about this style(the one on the bottom)

If you are talking about the second kind, from what I remember it doesn't have that style.

Well, TAB notation is a type of guitar music notation that gives the chords and chord shapes, etc. (It would look like little 6-string boxes above each measure with a letter denoting what chord it was).

Oh, then there isn't any like that in the books. Sorry.

There is TAB in the books. It is not throughout the songs but there is enough to get you going if you use the TAB and your ears. I think the books are very much worthwhile for guitar players.
