What’s happening at 911tabs.com

You want it, you got it!

In the past year we launched small survey and received many feedbacks upon site performance.

Finally we've fixed the issue for our returning users! Now tabs will open on separate page rather on a layout on the same page causing low performance problems.

911tabs 10 years anniversary

It's hard to believe that we've reached such day.

In 2004 we thought: "Hey, we've got a tab website. Let's make a new one, so people could find us!" Note: there were no big search engines like Google.

So, on 15 Oct 2004 we've launched www.911tabs.com

911tabs old main page

For that time it was awesome website with lots of features and information for guitarits.

For the 6 years we did nothing with it. But now Internet grows quick and we try to follow that trend.

It's a really big step and many other features and stories will come true soon.

Thanks all!

Operation "Make-up"

Hey all!

Today I'm gonna tell you about our operation "Make-up". It's hard to believe that almost a year ago we've launched new design for 911tabs. But didn't stop to working on its beauty.

Here are 5 "big" changes in design:

1. When you search for artists you can see new block with artist image, "Add to favorites" button and 3 top songs. You can also find artist song on SoundCloud to hear them!

2. New logo was made quickly. Simple and flat:

3. New home page with no ads and clean layout. Actually we took Duckduckgo design as a key point and created our own.

Don't forget to add 911tabs to your web browser bookmarks by clicking on "Add to bookmarks"!

Great way to learn guitar for French users!

Lately our French guitarists launched Unizic

Unizic's concept is to teach how to sing and play musical instruments by videoconference where, when and how thier students want to. I guess it can be really helpful for you to learn via Skype calls and get feedback from teachers and other users!

Unizic 40 minuts to teach

Here is more info:

Unizic was created a few monthes ago by the Institut de Culture Musicale (Musical Culture Institute), which is a famous music school since 1988. As an evolution of consumer habits and technology, the ICM decided to create a new concept of teaching methods: teaching music via skype.

Users can choose where and when to take lessons. You just need a computer/tablet/mac and Skype. Unizic can teach as beginners as professionals how to sing and how to play all the instruments, through the music style they want.

Unizic benefits from the 25 year experience of the ICM, its passionated team and its experimented teachers. We will find the teacher who will match your expectations!

Just try Unizic, the first lesson is free!

Music to be heard

Hey,

Last week heard great tracks from one of our users and his band Intoxicated Illusions. Especially their progressive rock album "Conceptual reality" got my attention.
