There is a program called Power Tab that is free for download. I find it to be quite the useful tool for both learning songs and tabbing out my ideas. It plays the tab you have as midi.
I can honestly say that a soon as i found this program, my guitar ability (and bass since it has the ability to tab in that as well) soared faster that i had expected it would. And I can't say how many of my ideas for riffs would have been lost to the void had i not tabbed them out so easily with this program. It is truely a useful tool for both lessons and for the student to be able to write their own ideas. Also the ease of sharing these ideas is another plus. I and a friend exchange tabs quite frequently to show what we are both working on.
The website: http://www.power-tab.net/
I was thinking it would be a good idea if along with the tabs you provide of your lessons, you also posted a link to a powertab for download that has the lesson material in it.
This would be quite useful to the aspiring guitarist due to the highly modifiable aspects of the program. It allows you to change tempos with ease to be able to hear those off beat breaks and accented notes. I also use it for putting thosde repeat bars over a certain section of a song so i can loop it and make sure i have it down.
It also helps with a bit of theory, since in order for the tab to play the way it should, the user must designate which notes are quarternotes, eigth notes, dotted-eigth notes, and so on.
Most of the tabs for actual songs you show by artists such as Satriani are already available on the internet. So you wouldn't have to tab out everything again. I could even help tabbing some of the lessons.
Anyway, just a thought |

| Also, you wouldn't need to waste space on your website, but just post a link to www.911tabs.com where you could keep the lessons. |

Actually, I use powertab for all my lessons. When I do lessons on songs (Satriani, etc), I download the powertab and extract a portion for the lesson. Though sometimes when I am feeling lazy, I do indeed just post a link to a powertab file somewhere.
later,
