OLGA SEARCH ENGINE On-Line Guitar Archive. OLGA is a library of files that show you how to play songs on guitar. The files come from other internet guitar enthusiasts like yourself, who took the time to write down chords or tablature and send them to the archive or to the newsgroups "rec.music.makers.guitar.tablature" and "alt.guitar.tab". For this reason, the files vary greatly in quality, but they should all give you somewhere to start in trying to play your favorite tunes. RenegadeOLGA This is a general Web Based Search Engine you can use to come up with website results that include Real OLGA results as well as any other websites that contain what you typed in.  It has the appearance of Yahoo or other search engines - but while checking it out it seems to just search Music sources (i.e., if you type in "Sting" you get music and not things like "Bee Sting", "Sting medicine" etc.). Yahoo's Bass/Guitar Index Another search engine to try...  What's good about Yahoo is that after you get the result of a search you do, you also get other search engines to try the same search on - check this out...  After you do your search, scroll down the page to the bottom and there you'll see the names of other Search Engines.  Just click on one of the names and the same search criteria you entered will be entered automatically - and you get the results from what that engine has. SEARCH for: TABLATURE Tabs on GUITARNOTES.COM - Click on the artist name and the tabs pop up.  Fairly quick site - only has one advertisement pop-up window to click away... Guitarists.Net - Guitar Tablature - "Browse Our Archive Of Guitar Tablature."  They have approximately 30,000 tablatures of Bands and Musicians.  Search by clicking on the first letter of the bands name or the first letter of the artist's last name to view the current files available. The Bass Tab Archive A collection of tablature for bass guitar (Andrew's Ace Archive of classsic rock'n'roll).  At last report the site was closed because of legality of distributing tabs.  Try it though - if it's closed, try OLGA. SEARCH for: LYRICS Lyrics via LYRICSEARCH.NET - Nice site for searching Lyrics - using what they call the Astraweb Lyrics Search Engine. SEARCH for: CHORDS

Adam Schneider's Guitar Chords Mostly acoustic singer-songwriters like Indigo Girls and Mary Chapin Carpenter.  If this site is closed down, try OLGA.

COWPIE "The Country and Western Pickers of the Internet Newsletter" maintains a site of country music guitar chords.
