I was avoiding images for faster loading.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Hi,

You have a nice amount of tabs. Do you only have GP though? I have GP but its always such as hassle to load it up just to view a simple tab. Sorry that has nothing to do with your site, just my personal rant.

Anyways, the layout is pretty simple which is good. You have a lot of white space though, so maybe you should consider some background color and maybe an image or two wouldnt hurt load time too much. Also your tabs arn't sorted. Maybe you should implement a way to sort alphabetically. And maybe also a search by artist and search by song as well.

Not only GP but Powertabs too.
Well, im thinking about 'tab review' which would let you view each of the tabs in textual shape right on the spot, but that is going to take a lot of time to reverse engineer the GP and Powertab.
If you click on "Advanced Search" you will notice you can do search by author/interpreter too. Hmm, i think i would have to make that selection (by song/author) more visible somehow. If anyone have any suggestion regarding that?

I think GP and Powertab files are just specially formatted text files. I could write a java program to interpret them and print them back to standard text I think. I'll look further into it. If you want me to try to code that up for you contact me (Matt) on my website.

Well, its not text file, its binary. Thanks but I'm already handling it.
