Ultimate Guitar Tabs Archive
Now the Internet’s fastest-growing guitar community, Ultimate Guitar Tabs Archive is a buzzing abode of music and music fans. Visitors will find reviews of new albums, music news flashes, guest columns opining on the last developments in the music world, and a huge discussion forum. They will also find a massive database of the guitar tabs for hundreds of songs, and even a collection of free guitar lessons.
Ultimate Guitar Tabs Archive arose from humble beginnings. In October 1998, Eugeny Naidenov was an economics student at Kaliningrad State University in Russia when he took the initiative of launching a simple home page listing guitar tabs by just 10 artists.
Guitarists caught on to the site and started trickling in as visitors and as contributors. Within four years, the site’s library had grown to 20,000 tabs. Having attained a steady viewership, Ultimate Guitar Tabs Archive expanded its page to include user profiles, a search engine to find tabs in the tabs database, and tabs favourites. Next up was the launch of an on-site Ultimate Guitar Forum, a discussion arena that has since accumulated more than 2 million message postings and more than 200,000 registered members.
The site is a must-see for rock fans who want to get a flavor for rock music scenes across the globe. One can read about American artist Jack White’s musings over whether to play more shows with the White Stripes, and then skip over to view a feature story about Swedish goth group Katatonia.
The site’s prominence in the guitar community enables it to snag many high-profile interviews, as well: Members of Staind, Creed, and Megadeth, among other internationally known greats, have all lent their time for question-and-answer sessions with the site’s staff. All of these are up on the site for viewing under the heading “Interviews.”
The guitar lessons can give the guitar novice a pretty good start. Richly illustrated articles in this section lead the reader step-by-step in how to play basic guitar chords, how to read tabs, and how to play basic ska and metalcore. It’s also got warm-up exercises for improving one’s speed and picking.
Do you have an artist in mind that really impressed you with a chord that he or she plays in a particular hit song? The lessons page even breaks down for you some specific chords, tones, and lead techniques that Matt Bellamy, John Mayer, James Hetfield, and other artists incorporate into their music.
