Tab Alive! has all of these features:

• See and Hear each note of tablature on a guitar graphic! - As a cursor moves from note to note (or chord to chord) you'll hear notes sounding (including bends, etc.) and see the corresponding notes on a guitar neck graphic!
• Real Guitar Sounds - We recorded every note, hammer-on, slide-up, slide-down, pull-off and string bend on an old vintage Epiphone acoustic guitar made in the 1950's. None of that cheesy midi junk here. More guitar sounds coming soon including several electric guitars!
• Shows & Plays Common Guitar Techniques such as hammer-ons, pull-offs, string-bends and slides! - Again, these are real guitar sounds so you can enjoy learning any tab you want! Get tab all over the Internet and then just paste it in and convert it to real guitar sounds!
• Full Control Over Playback - Step through your tab one fingering at a time, select an area to indefinitely loop, or play through each section from start to finish. There's also a speed control for the loop and play feature!
• Looping Feature - Check out this simple example and turn on the looper. Click the image to the right and follow the simple directions to try it out right now!
• Learn From Pattern View!
  All successful guitarists are able to visualize patterns on the guitar neck. That's how they know where to go next. With the click of a button you can toggle Pattern View on or off! Don't miss out on this well-kept secret of the masters!
• Offline Version Coming Soon!
  Convert any tab you like and the Tab Alive! file will immediately be emailed to you for offline playing! You can start converting tabs and collecting them now for offline viewing as soon as the offline version is launched. Anticipated in late October 2004!

No we don't have some sort of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Governator thing going on here. It's the chord progression generator. It's just easier to say Progressionator. This baby is fun too! Select from 3 drop-down menus- a key, a chord progression and a playing style and click the play button.

Want to hear the same progression in a different key? Just choose the new key and click the button. It prints out the chords and plays them for you. Then, if you need to know how to play the chords, go to the Chord Finder!

You'll hear an actual guitar playing the progression you chose. It's a great place to get ideas for chord progressions.
