Here at MXTabs.net we’re all about helping you become a better guitar player, which is why we’re excited to let you know that from now until September 2, 2009, Musicnotes.com has partnered with Alfred Music Publishing to offer a free, interactive Guitar Guru session (which includes a matching guitar tab) for Aaron Stang’s instrumental arrangement of “Over the Rainbow,” a song that Les Paul famously used to close out his shows at the legendary jazz club Iridium in New York City.

In lieu of payment, Musicnotes and Alfred Music Publishing encourage users who choose to download the song to send donations to the Les Paul Foundation, 236 W. 30th St., Seventh Floor, New York, N.Y. 10001.

This free download is available online at http://www.musicnotes.com/free/ (now through midnight, September 2, 2009).

You can read more about this special offer by visiting Musicnotes.com’s Official Blog, or you can learn more about the many features that make Guitar Guru such a great learning tool here: http://www.musicnotes.com/guitarguru/.

You will also be glad to know that the Guitar Guru software is free to download, and that MXTabs.net notifies you on song search pages if there is a corresponding Guitar Guru session available for one of our guitar or bass tabs. So if you’ve ever considered giving Guitar Guru a try, it would seem that now is the perfect time to do so! After all, the software is free AND for a limited time you may download a free interactive lesson and tab of “Over the Rainbow,” to honor the memory of the great guitar innovator, Les Paul.
