you're best watching vids like the Abbey Road studio's sessions etc and trying to see what they are playing, work out which fret etc.
problem with TAB books is that they aren't neccessarily the same as the way its actually played and can give you quite different results and feel to the tune. e.g If a Tab book is telling you an open D when really its a D Barre chord it will sound slightly different and potentially make it harder to do chord changes and dropping into licks
if you've been playing a while that's my advice anyway
