where to get matching beginner tabs/music samples

Hi, total banjo newb here.  Got my Goodtime last Tuesday and been practicing my clawhammer everyday.  Where can I get tabs that come with an audio file that is played exactly as the tab?

I've been practicing some 'very easy' tabs that I found on Mike Iverson's awesome site (http://www.bluesageband.com/Tabs.html).  His 'very easy' selections seem just right, I can play them through slowly without much error and I like the tunes enough to want to keep playing.  The problem is the corresponding music samples don't match the tabs and I feel like I need that for my 1st tune.  For example Cripple Creek sounds like it is played two frets up from the tabs and Easy Boil Em Cabbage shows brushes in the tabs but I don't hear any in the song, in fact with Cabbage, I can't even match what I see on the tabs with what I hear because it either goes too fast or is different than the tab.  It would be great if I could slow down the audio file.  alltabs.com looks good because they have .tef tab file (assuming that goes into some software) and a midi file (which I think means I can slow it down), but all their beginner tunes are Christmas songs...  Hoping to find some traditional ones like what Mike Iverson has.  Any suggestions?
