#2Wish there was some kind of example of what it looks like before I log in with my spotify account.

#3Against my better judgement I actually logged in with Spotify, only to find that it just didn't work. I'm not really sure what I was expecting anyway.
There used to be a great trade in guitar chords online, but then lots of small sites got taken down and ultimategyitar tried to put a big shitty paywall around years and years of high quality content made by volunteers and often scraped from other sites.

Yeah. The playlist part seems unnecessary too -- why not just have it work on a single song?

One of my first tastes of the web was finding tabs on ftp servers!

Looking at the JavaScript of the site, it looks like all it does it scrape the search results from ultimate-guitar.com for the songs in your playlist.

Because all it does is scrape search results from ultimate-guitar.com so without the Spotify playlist integration it would be entirely pointless.

Seriously ultimate guitar just effed over so many people who put time and effort into spreading guitar chords.
That and their site is covered in so much ad content.

#9Hello, I am the creator of the website.
The main goal is not having to search on UltimateGuitar for the chords of the songs you want to play, but instead get a direct link to the song on UG.
I made it because I was tired of checking my Spotify playlists for songs of which I didn't remember the title but I wanted to play and then go on UG and type the title in the search field. It's more of a "I'm lazy" tool than an actual tab website.

If anyone knows of a free and open-source guitar tab sharing site, I'd be interested.
I wrote some tabs recently and ended up just putting them on my personal website. Hopefully people will search via Google and find them.
