Mxtabs.net is a music tablature website create in 1999, offering free guitar, bass, and drum tablature created by users of the site, in addition to music reviews and instrument lessons. Although the site shut down in June 2006 in response to claims made by the MPA about the supposed illegality of music tabs, it has since been bought by MusicNotes and now offers free, legal tablature. The site is currently in a public-alpha stage, as not all the new features have been added, though tabs are available to all countries now, depending on whether a licence is in place. The site will come out of public alpha stage and be launched on the 1st July 2008.
