    I have searching for mando TAB's for Neil Gow

    There are a few on the mandocafe and mandozine TAB sites
    I could not find any on nigelgatherer.com
    but there was one on www.standrewsri.org (lament for second wife)

    Do you have some other ideas??

    How about some TAB books??

    Simon Mayor's "New Celtic Mandolin" book has "Niel Gow’s Lament for Abercarney" in both notation and tab.
    Nigel Gatherer's site has "Farewell to Whisky" in notation and tab.

    I really don't want to reopen the "Tab vs Notation" debate, but this is a good reason for learning standard notation - you have easy access to much more music.

    Can I suggest getting hold of the tunes in ABC format, from sites like JC's ABCtunefinder and converting them to tab using software such as Melody Assistant or Tabledit.

    I know this isn't the answer your looking for, but to echo PseudoCelt's statement: there is a huge collection of Gow tunes, and other tunes as well, available in standard notation. Great book, the music is very readable.

    I can barely read tab so I don't know of any sources, but you could probably find individual songs tabbed out here and there. Also, if you go to The Session they probably have a bunch of his tunes, and they often have tunes in ABC or other formats in addition to standard notation.
