We’re Back! Hello MXTabs Fans!
Hello MXTabs fans, we’re back and better than ever with a brand new look that’s a throwback to what we had just a few months ago. Posts that were made in between the old format and this one didn’t make it, but our free tabs are still here. We’ve made some other changes to the site to make things easier on you. We’ve moved the Galleries and the Blog Links to a sub-directory on the forums. They weren’t getting a lot of use and we decided to focus more on content... [Continue Reading]
Boston Tabs Removed From MXTabs
You may have noticed that tabs for several songs from rock band Boston, including their hit “More than a Feeling,” are no longer available on the MXTabs site. It’s important for us to be clear and honest with our users, and therefore we thought we should let you know the reason for their absence. Recently MXTabs received a fax from Hal Leonard Corporation requesting the removal of songs written by the band, as they claim to have an exclusive print agreement with the band, including digital...

10 Days to Go Until Launch!
Today’s the 20th, which means we basically have 10 days left until the official launch of MXTabs. Our designers and programmers are working their butts off on the redesign, but from what I’ve seen it is going to be quite an improvement over the alpha version of the site (the one you see now). Even though the majority of site updates are now being done behind closed doors in anticipation of the launch, one thing you will be seeing quite a bit of as we get close to July 1st is the addition...

MXTabs Song Data
This week we’ve had four new people join the official MXTabs team. They are focusing on filling out data for our songs to help us get as much music licensed and up to the site as possible in anticipation of our upcoming launch. So, from now on you should start seeing quite a bit more new tabs going up to the site since we’re able to focus on this a lot more with the help of our new members. Also, we’ve recently signed quite a few deals to get more music to the site. We’re... [Continue Reading]
