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: Song Tabs of Music from the 1970s
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me as an “old soul” in my 28 years on this planet, and I’m sometimes lambasted by my blackberry-wielding friends as an outdated fan of “oldies,” or “classic hits.”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,”...

Sheriff Picks: Song Tabs with Days of the Week in the Title
Ok, first thing’s first: last week I mentioned that I would tell everybody why this new blog column of mine is called Sheriff Picks, so let me cover that real quickly before moving on to today’s topic, Song Tabs with Days of the Week in the Title. 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. Then, in... [Continue Reading]
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]

Halloween Tabs and Free Halloween Song Playlist
With October 31st being just one week away, I figured it was high time to bust out a Halloween blog post featuring some of the great, horror-inspired tabs we have available on MXTabs.net. I tried not to include too many ridiculously cliche songs (Monster Mash comes to mind), but instead tried to highlight as broad a range of styles as possible. They all have one thing in common, however: something about each one makes me think of pitch black nights, fallen leaves, evil spirits, and all those other... [Continue Reading]

You can browse some of the new stuff at our “what’s new” pages. Guitar: http://www.mxtabs.net/live/recent/guitar/ Bass:... [Continue Reading]
