Dude this rules awesome job! Only issue for me is that even in 1/2 speed its moving to fast for my eyes to focus on the numbers. So what I need is to have the lines separated like musical notation so that I can look down and read ahead and see the next line coming, without the numbers moving, so my eyes can focus. Pretty much everyone that reads music/tabs reads ahead of where they are actually playing its probably s…

I was going to comment something very similar. I think perhaps the scrolling should default to "Paged" instead of "Autoscroll".

It's hard to focus on a moving target and "Paged" feels more natural to me since that is how sheet music works. It allows you to look ahead without worrying about the upcoming notes moving.

That's an awesome application you have. The demos are really quite amazing, but I am like dpcan, it would be nice to see a demo of a simpler song (say - Rush - Limelight or something similar).

The guitar playing is amazing though and the application has a nice layout to it and good use of HTML5. Well done.

i have been playing guitar for 10+ years, learned most of what i know via tabs (but took some lessons). if this app takes off it would change the way people learn guitar. i think it is awesome, but i might be hard to get people to spend time annotating the songs.

Amazing for what it allows and also for what it illustrates.

In Yesterday [1], shouldn't the song structure appear at the bottom instead of at the top? The layers correspond to decreasing levels of granularity, and I cannot thing of any good reason why they should not be in that order.

I've been teaching myself the guitar ove the past few months with a similar method. I go on dylanchords.info, open up a tab, play the song on google Play, then play along with my guitar. Dylan's songs have simple chords, so its ideal for beginners. I've been at it for the past 4 or 5 months, and Im already almost at the intermediary level, so this method of practice does work.

My suggestion: the interface for entering the tabs is not ideal. You should invent a srt-like file format for entering chords. For instance a sing thats the same three chords over and over again is tedious to enter through your interface.

Great idea but, even on half speed on the Super Mario example, the thing is so jerky that the numbers on the tabs just blend together, I can't read a single one of them. MacBook Pro 2012, Chrome, 20/20 vision

Same problem here. I wouldnt say that the animation is jerky but just that everything blends into a long motion blur. MacbookPro 2012. Tested in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.
