Learning songs with tab--anyone use Songsterr or something similar?

[Thundersteel]

A co-worker uses Songsterr to learn new songs, but the app is $20. Still, they have some obscure bands which I like. From what I've seen fo far, it seems to be worth the price of admission. The only thing that some people don't like, is there are only two playback speeds--regular, and half speed.

So, does anyone use that app or something similar?

Find the song on youtube and just use the tab, no need for the app?

I find songster tab to be pretty good, as far as online tab goes. Their search engine sucks though, maybe you need the app lol?

I just search on "startpage" for the song and add songster, if it's on there it comes up.

I mostly use youtube now. There are some "tutorials" that are wrong so you may have to spend some time searching.

I didn't know there was an app for songsterr. I've used it occasionally but a few months ago I signed up for their 9 dollar a month deal because I wanted to print out several parts for other players. To do most anything on the site you have to pay up i.e. print the tabs. Then I forgot to cancel and have been charged 9 bucks each month for nothing. Their tabs do seem fairly close though.

I have Guitar pro 6. Bought it once for a another reason. There is a ton of free tabs out there. It's got great training tools in there.

I'm with Herr Gorch on this'un. I use GP5 and have found it really helpful for transcribing.

Ultimate Guitar Tabs is an iPhone app... $2.99 for the ware. then it's like $8 a year for content... oh it works great on iPad too

I use it to speed the learning process for bass lines. The old memory ain't what it used to be

From the OLGA Wikipedia article:

The On-line Guitar Archive (OLGA) was the first Internet library of guitar and bass tablature, or "tabs". Born from a collection of guitarist internet-forum archives, it was a useful resource for musicians of all genres for over a decade.
