I've put together an MS Excel application to help anyone who's working on improving their reading skills. Check out my Rhythm Generator app and really tighten up your rhythm reading chops!
I've also put together another MS Excel application to help anyone who's working on really nailing down those note names on the guitar fretboard. Check out The Random String and Fret Generator v1.0 app and finally get ALL of those fretboard notes totally wired!
I've just discovered a TAB program that every guitarist should have. It will allow you to easily, quickly, and accurately create TAB documents and PLAY THEM as well. It also displays the fretboard (and a keyboard) as it plays the TAB, so you can visually see the fingerings in real time. I personally think it's a really great program and predict it will shortly become the standard format for TAB documents. You really should check out Guitar Pro 4.0 ...They offer a free 30 day trial, so take a chance and you'll find, as I did, that it's just what you've always wanted in a TAB application. Tell 'em I sent ya...
