Awesome! I'm sure someone else has already said it elsewhere in the comments, but I find myself wanting to share the different demos with people and I'm sure it would improve the viral coefficient. Toss some share buttons on there, perhaps? In any case, I'm going to take this for a spin next time I sit down with my guitar. Nicely done!

Thank you! :-)

How much does the lack of a share button prevent you from "manually" sending the link to friends via Twitter/Facebook by copying and pasting? (I'm asking honestly -- and I'd like to prevent the site from getting gunked up with share links.)

Adrian: as you are one of the only people on YouTube I've ever subscribed to, I felt the need to say that this is fantastic not only for the features of the software itself, but also because you've provided a wealth of tabulature for your own arrangements. And it's intuitive to use and GREAT for practicing. The ability to scope out which part of the track I need to loop for practice is invaluable!

This is really remarkable stuff, and I hope to see more in the future!

Also, if you could please get back tor recording a little ditty here or there for public enjoyment, it'd be much appreciated :)

I guess it's sort of a "don't make me think" sort of thing. If I see a share button, I think "oh, I should share this!" or if I think "hey, I should share this" but don't see a share link, there's just a little more friction to actually sharing it (sounds super lazy, but it's true).

So, I might not think of sharing it without seeing a button, and if I do think of sharing something, but requires me to copy, go to Facebook, write a note, paste, go to Twitter and do the same thing, I'll just be like "oh, forget it." (unless I'm really excited... I shared the general link on Facebook, but not any individual song).

I would think of sharing as a feature, rather than clutter. Here's my user story - "As a user, I want to share this tasty jam with my bandmate so we can shred together" (decided to have fun with that one).

It may be going to far, but you might even want to make sharing a song a call to action ("Did you enjoy this song? Share it with friends!" [followed by big fat Facebook & Twitter buttons])

Hey, thanks for subscribing, and for the kind words! I've transcribed a bunch of my own stuff and plan on doing more in the coming weeks (it's a win/win -- good marketing for Soundslice and people get to learn the arrangements).

And, yes, I need to get back on a regular YouTube posting schedule... :-)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thank you! Yes, a few of the videos have chords marked on tab tracks (e.g., "Chord fingering" on http://www.soundslice.com/yt/Y6ti5f-LHp4/ ) but I'm planning to add a first-class chord track type. To exit looping mode, just press Pause? Or were you just trying to clear a selection? (If the latter, just click anywhere in the timeline canvas.) I have searched high and low for a fix to that two-fingered left scrolling i…

Calling preventDefault on the mousewheel event stops swipe navigation in Chrome. You may want to restrict this to when the tab pane's scroll position is 0.

I have a preventDefault in there already, and it's still happening. :-/

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.

Sorry about that -- try changing "scrolling" from Autoscroll to Paged, and that should fix it.
