If you’ve read previous Sheriff Picks blog posts here on MXTabs.net, then you probably know the basic gist of them by now: I (The Sheriff) pick a handful of guitar, bass & drum tabs based upon a theme of some kind, such as Song Tabs with Days of the Week in the Title or Song Tab of Songs About Autumn. Pretty straightforward, right? Well, seeing as The Sheriff is feeling a bit self-indulgent today (as he sometimes does), I thought I’d simply pick a few of my favorite songs that MXTabs.net...

Sheriff Picks: Guitar Tab of Songs About Autumn
Today – September 22, 2009 – marks the official beginning of Autumn in the northern hemisphere. Astronomically speaking, it is the autumnal equinox, one of only two days per year in which night and day are of approximately equal length and the Sun crosses the celestial equator. (If you’re curious, the Sun crosses the equator from north to south during the autumnal equinox, and south to north during the vernal/spring equinox.) But most of us don’t need an astronomer to tell... [Continue Reading]
Sheriff Picks: Guitar Tab of Songs for Earth Day
Earth Day, celebrated every April 22, is according to the U.S. Government site for Earth Day “a time to celebrate gains we have made and create new visions to accelerate environmental progress. Earth Day is a time to unite around new actions. Earth Day and every day is a time to act to protect our planet.” Incidentally, Earth Day is also a subject very close to The Sheriff’s heart. And for that reason, today I humbly offer up the following Song Tabs for Earth Day. If playing these... [Continue Reading]
Sheriff Picks: Guitar Tab of Songs for Springtime
Leave it to me – The Sheriff – to write a blog post featuring Guitar Tab of Songs for Springtime just three days after we received four inches of snow here in good ol’ Madison, WI, USA, worldwide headquarters of MXTabs.net. In my defense, however, it is technically Spring (FYI – if you’re seasonally challenged like I am, Spring began on March 20th this year), and our brief snow cover here has been melted away by the searing 45ºF temperatures of the past couple of days. Furthermore,... [Continue Reading]
Sheriff Picks: Guitar Tab of Songs for St. Patrick’s Day
Green dyed rivers and fountains, massive street parades, corned beef with cabbage, and – of course – lots and lots of Guinness beer.

And to help everyone get ready for the big day, today I’m offering up a small selection of St. Patrick’s Day Song Tab for you to rock out to. Most of these songs were written and performed by Irish bands or recording artists... [Continue Reading]
Sheriff Picks: Guitar Tabs of Music from the 1990s
So, I was born in 1980. For all you math whizzes out there, that means that I was 10 years old when the 1990s began and 20 years old when the decade ended. As I’m sure you know, those are very impressionable years of a person’s life, and although my musical tastes have continued to evolve, I think it’s fair to say that I’m a product of the 90s music scene. As such, you will find a lot of Grunge and Alternative Rock on today’s Sheriff Picks: Song Tabs of Music from the... [Continue Reading]
Sheriff Picks: Guitar Tabs of Music from the 1980s
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: Song Tabs About Brevity
Brevity (noun) – Shortness of duration, especially shortness or conciseness of expression (SOURCE: Merriam-Webster OnLine Dictionary) To be honest with you – and that’s what this whole Web 2.0 thing is about, right? Transparency? – I was at a complete loss when I sat down to write this week’s Sheriff Picks. I had yet to choose a theme or perform any type of research whatsoever. Plus, I was unsure if I would even be able to finish the post without working late. Considering... [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,”...
