One of the problems with tablature is that it does a poor job representing rhythm and the duration that each note is played - both of which are essential. To remedy this, most people play a recording of the original song as they examine a tab so they can figure out when to play each note. But this process is frustrating and time consuming.

Songsterr, a new startup that launched earlier this month, is looking to help guitar players skirt this issue by accompanying each song with an audio file that plays alongside it. The site's Flash player will also automatically scroll through each tab, indicating exactly which note is being played.

This site contains about 150 songs at the moment.  But as with other Tab sites, Songsterr will likely be shut down eventually by lawsuits from the record industry. Many of the web's most popular tab sites have been waging a losing war with copyright holders for years, as even user-created tabs for songs are considered infringements.  Enjoy it while you can.
