It’s as simple as tapping the star at the top of the TABLATURE. Search is self-explanatory, so I won’t go into any depth on that one, but the favourites are a great way to keep track of songs you’re learning. There are two other ways to get directly to the tabs that I find much more useful than the tag based approach: search and favourites. I found myself wondering if people were making up their own categories instead of using ones that made sense. The category listing needs some heavy moderation. The tagging system isn’t the best solution, but it certainly works better than nothing.īringing up Funk Rock reveals hundreds of Red Hot Chili Peppers songs, and nothing else with the exception of three Chancho En Piedra songs. Sometimes there’re hundreds of songs, and other times there’re hundreds of songs from one artist alone.

The application is built around the website, but the iPad interface certainly provides a better user experience than the experience on my MacBook Pro ever could. Songsterr is a tab book for your iPad (or iPhone), and frankly put, I wish it had been around when I was beginning my life-long love affair with my guitar. Not only did it bring me back to the days of printing off one song after another on my parents bubble jet printer down in the basement, but it also reminded me how much fun it was to thumb through hundreds of tabs, finding new songs along the way. When I noticed Songsterr being featured on the App Store I was plenty interested. Luckily by that point I was able to play most songs that interested me by ear, as well as take a couple of guitar classes in high school. Then it changed again when the NMPA, and MPA and every other corporation standing to make money from suing tab websites decided it was in their best interests to take down one website after another. That went on for about a good month and a half until a friend of mine introduced me to OLGA (the online guitar archive), and then proceeded to show me how reading tabs worked.Īt that moment everything changed. I sat down with my tuner, tuned the guitar, then tried to pluck out my favourite tracks from Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged album. Much to my chagrin, I didn’t know anything really, and I had zero musical training. It was Christmas morning, and I thought I was a natural. I remember the first time I picked up my guitar.
