What To Do With A Guitar Tab Domain?

I have a domain for guitar tabs, but I don't know what to do with it. I was thinking about the obvious guitar tab site like, http://www.MetalTabs.com. After looking at some other sites, mainly http://www.OLGA.net, to get some ideas of how to get tabs quick, I found plenty of sites using the same tab. Then I thought about making a search engine for tabs (which a few already exist) to search the main tab sites because that's where most of the tabs come from anyway. I thought about making a guitar tab site that used images instead of the crappy text representation of tab, but I don't really see an efficient way of doing that.

I looked for a guitar tab CMS script, but couldn't find one. All I found was a project to make one that started in 2003 and seems to have been abondoned. I thought about making my own CMS script for the guitar tab webmasters and just have the domain be about that. The only problem would be people would probably want to get a database full of tabs, so the script is useful right "out of the box".

The problem I see is that it would take a while to get as many tabs as OLGA has. Plus, that's the main site for tab anyway. It would be like an auction site competing against eBay. Another site, http://www.Ultimate-Guitar.com, seems to be doing well and also has a lot of tabs. MetalTabs looks like it gets it tabs from users, but my domain isn't specific to one genre of music.

I think a guitar tab search engine would be awesome. It could be a simple design and not much into it and yet you could get a lot of traffic. From time to time I go to guitartabs.cc and other sites. Sometimes I don't find what I need and I search and search, and get pretty frustrated. If I could go to one search engine and have the hits displayed and tell me which site they are from, then I would definately be interested.

Also you could have them rank their sites at the bottom. For example, you have five different tab sites and they can rank them from most favorite to least favorite and this will then display the hits in that order. Or, if they leave them unchecked then it just goes in order of popularity. You could make the inital search page one white input box with a great picture of a guitar behind it. Something simple, with a white background, but completely unique.

I am excited just thinking about this!
