Ah, the eighties – what an amazing decade of music, fueled by the increased use of synthesizers and drum machines, the creation of MTV, and the emergence of Hard Rock, Alternative Rock, and New Wave as dominant musical genres. It was such an amazing decade of music, in fact, that it was difficult to narrow down this list of Song Tabs of Music from the 1980s to an acceptable length. I was able to persevere though, and what I ended up with, I think, is a nice assortment of personal favorites,... [Continue Reading]

Sheriff Picks: Cold Weather Song Tabs
With the temperature dipping below 0°F and wind chills nearing -30°F here in Madison, WI USA, I didn’t so much choose this week’s Sheriff Picks theme as it chose me: Cold Weather Song Tabs. If you live in a cold climate yourself then I’m sure you understand. At first, the cold weather is merely a minor discomfort, forcing you to dig out your heavy coat from the back closet and grab your ice scraper from the basement. But as winter progresses and the temps continue to drop, the... [Continue Reading]
Sheriff Picks: Thank You Song Tabs & Free Playlist
Ahhh, Thanksgiving. What a great holiday. Whereas some people grow to despise the annual Christmas consumer frenzy, or the defiling commercialism of Valentine’s Day, who in their right mind could take up arms against Thanksgiving?

Two weeks ago I shared with you my featured Song Tabs of Music from the 1960s. In continuing with that idea, today I’m offering up some of my favorite Song Tabs of Music from the 1970s. I’ve had several people refer to me as an “old soul” in my 28 years on this planet, and I’m sometimes lambasted by my blackberry-wielding friends as an outdated fan of “oldies,” or “classic hits.” However, I don’t really tend to think of this music as “classic,”...

Many moons ago when I first began licensing songs for MXTabs.net, the website that you’ve come to know and love didn’t exactly exist yet, save in the minds of a few dedicated marketers, web developers, and database gurus.

Sheriff Picks: Song Tabs of Music from the 1960s
One of my responsibilities here at MXTabs.net is to license songs, which requires me to sit in front of a computer all day long performing music copyright research, then entering appropriate information into a database built to ensure that the correct percentage of our site’s ad revenue is being distributed to the correct music publishers. As you can probably imagine, I’ve never really considered this to be the highlight of my work day. After all, it’s detail-orientated, repetitive,... [Continue Reading]
