    Add more content. Change the ad placement.
    the design looks okay but could be better.
    good luck!

    Thanks for your reply grey
    I think the ad placements are good, it gives good CTR

    Anyone have any comments on the usability?

    Essentially it is a good idea - having the video to go with the song. I am a guitar player myself (former professional) and have seen quite a few guitar sites. The site certainly needs a load more content, but you probably know this.

    I'm just not sure people will really use your site in its current guise. Why wouldn't they just go to the tab site directly and have a lot more songs to choose from? They can always go to youtube themselves if they need to hear the song, or download the mp3. It is basically a link to a Youtube video and a link to the tab. (I have just noticed that the Greenday video has been removed btw!)

    Since it is a website for beginners, perhaps you could video yourself, or find a video, showing a close up of what the fingers do when playing the song. It may not be quite as 'cool', but this would probably add a whole lot more value for beginners than watching a music video were this can't be seen! Perhaps it would be better to tab the songs yourself and have them on your site, rather than linking out? Maybe you could simplify the more difficult songs for beginners?

    When you have built the content up a bit, perhaps you could have some sort of search facility where you could choose a difficulty rating - say from 1 to 5, and the name of the band or song. People on the web are spoilt and often want to very quickly find exactly what they want! I think this idea has potential, but it needs some tweaking here and there in order to be an online success! Hope this help.

    Add more content and create a "latest news" section or something, to show your visitors you are up to day to this domain. Also, you should change the design, it is too simple, and it looks old. Try something with musical note, or, I don't know...something more...music oriented

    I think you need to make the menu into center of the content and also the content looks too compressed format, check it..

    1. Design to be improved.
    2. more content required. Especially on the homepage. Now only the adsense ad is prominent !!
    The site looks empty.

    1. Very Less Content !! More Ads in the site than the content !!! With lot of ads , when opening site gives a too much clubbed like of feeling !!!
    2. Some more images to catch attention in these kinds of sites would help !!
    :D

    There's something about the logo that is not appealing to me. Maybe it's the reflection in the letters or the colors, but it just looks tired to me. :eek:(
