Songsterr.com, a guitar tabs collection with an unique approach: play along!

I guess that if you run a blog that has a certain level of success, you receive a number of emails from people asking you to speak about their products.

I know I receive my share of such emails and I don’t write about all those products, because many of them are just plain useless, but, once in a while I receive something that starts my interest, like for example that thing with the high quality guitar cables, or the news about Dean Zelinsky leaving Dean guitar.

Well, today I have received 2 such emails, one of them being about a site that publishes guitar tabs, Songsterr.com and comes with a particular angle. Or as they say, in their own words:

Songsterr (www.songsterr.com) is an online guitar tab player that solves the biggest problem of guitar tabs. Tablatures do not represent the rhythm or lengths of the notes – only their pitch. It can be very difficult to get a feel of the music simply by studying the tab without playing it through. With Songsterr you can see and hear the song as it is being played with a realistic guitar engine, thus you can get an idea of what it should sound like and how fast it should be played.

I have seen plenty of guitar tabs websites on the internet. Damn, my initial intention was to also publish guitar tabs, don’t ask me why, but when I visited this site, well…how to put it…it was the end of my productive evening.

I spent my evening playing various songs there, enjoying every moment of it. By the way, Sweet child of mine intro can be quite a finger twister…

I don’t know how accurate those tabs are, those that I have tried were fine. Interesting that they have the possibility to slow down a song to half of the speed, for you to try it slowly. You can also position the cursor on a particular position on the song and play it from there.

In one word? Fun! Why don’t you try it and write your impressions here?
