What is this? Who is MG? What is tab? 
This page is a collection of guitar music and lyrics to virtually every song released (and some not yet released)
by the Canadian recording artist Matthew Good.
Tab is an easy-to read notation for guitar music. It is similar to the 6-line music staff, but represents notes
as their fret position on the neck of a guitar, and usually doesn't take timing into account. It's an easy way
to learn to play many songs. You can read more about tab here.
About mgtabarchive.com
Apparently I first started this on May 2, 2001. Wow... that's impressive.
Way back then I had a hell of a hard time finding good Matt Good tab (or any MG tab at all, for that matter)
on the net. Fan sites were few and far between, and Matt wasn't famous enough to garner any attention in the
States, which would have gotten him on tab sites like Olga and MXTabs. I spent a long time searching for
all the MG tab I could find, and eventually I realized that I had collected (or tabbed myself) much more than
existed on any one place on the net. I figured that I might as well throw together a page so other people could
use them as well, and things have been snowballing since then.
In April of 2004 I moved the site from my original host (webspace provided by my ISP) to a real .com domain and
a real host. I unveiled a new look for the site (the look you're seeing right now) at the same time. This new design,
aside from being a lot nicer to look at, would avoid many of the problems that plagued the old site, including problems
displaying on virtually every browser but Internet Explorer. If you're some sort of crazy, and you want to see the old
site, it's archived here.
About Julian
Hey, my name's Julian, and I'm the crazy guy that made this page.
Julian is currently studying Computer Engineering at Queen's University, in windy
Kingston, Ontario. I'm also very restless, and you'll probably see me enjyoing myself
more in my Renaissance History courses than in my Electromagnetics courses... how's that for irony?
I've been playing music for as long as I can remember... first on the piano, then on the trumpet, then
the guitar. I've been playing the guitar for maybe 4 or 5 years.
As for Matt Good, I've been listening since Underdogs and no, I don't have a copy of The History Teacher,
or of Lo-Fi. (But I do have a bunch of other rare goodies...)
I write music, and you can check it out at fullonafternoon.com.
