I don't know that any tab ever shows rhythm, or that in its current state it could show rhythm.

The standard notation does show it.

I don't read or write tab, or standard notation for that matter, and I was never able to check the transcription for accuracy.

There are some youtube cover videos of Crossing Crystal Lake, and one in particular by Mike Wilkins, is done very nicely. He plays it on a McGill Super Ace nylon string.

I don't know if he played the tab exactly, or used it as a guide coupled with having the actual recording.

Best,
Howard
