The tab posted earlier today is the first of its kind on this site. I think of them as "hybrid tabs". Basically, they're songs that are designed to go on the Chords page, but they have some tablature included in them. They're not complete tabs, so they can't be placed in one of the tab sections. Some part of the song will be tabbed, other parts will just have the chords, guitar solo parts won't be included. This is an example of what a hybrid will look like:

At this point, I don't know how often songs in the Chords section will include tab. There's only one so far, of course. There was already a second one I was going to do this for, but along the way I decided I'd make a full tab of it. It will be the next full tab posted, if all goes as planned. For this first hybrid, I made a note where it's posted on the Home Page that it includes tab. I won't be making that note every time a chord chart involves tab. I'm just doing it this first time to make people aware that some songs on the Chords page will also have tab.
On the Chords page itself, though, I'm making these tabs easy to identify. All hybrid tabs will be marked with an asterisk, with a note at the top of the page explaining that this indicator means the song has tab included.

As for the song "Texas Outlaw" itself, it's an interesting case. It's a duet with Aaron and Buzz Shearman, vocalist for Moxy in the 1970's. Her debut album The Lee Aaron Project (on which this song appeared) was released in 1982 on an indie label. The album was re-released by Attic Records in 1984 under the title Lee Aaron, in the same year that Attic released Aaron's breakout album Metal Queen. By the time of the album's '84 re-release, Shearman -- who does an excellent vocal on this song -- had died in a motorcycle accident (June of 1983).
Aaron had lots of help on that original project. Triumph's Rik Emmett was involved. Her "back-up" band for the album was Santers (a pretty good back-up band to have!). Other members of Moxy were also involved. Earl Johnson (Moxy) and Rick Santers play guitar on the track "Texas Outlaw".

But they still sound just as dull as they did before. The article did say that this won't work miracles, but as far as I could see, it didn't do anything at all. So it was a one time experiment.
