How to play other songs of the artist "Who"?

As a professional guitarist, I appreciate the effort that went into tabbing out "The Seeker." However, I have to point out a few things that could improve the learning experience for those trying to master this classic. Starting with the tab itself, it might be helpful to provide some contextual cues or annotations for beginners, especially for techniques like the pull-off and hammer-on. Also, while I get that encouraging variations is great for creativity, it might confuse newer players without a more structured approach to how those variations can be implemented. It would be nice to see some commentary on the rhythm and feel of the song, as those elements are critical to capturing the essence of The Who’s sound. Overall, it’s a great song to learn, but the tab could use a bit more guidance for those who are still finding their footing in guitar playing. Let's help all players, especially beginners, get the most out of their practice!
