As a guitar player, I'm at the --- played it in my college dorm room, learned all the Nirvana songs --- level. That being said, your "demos" on the home page are incredibly awesomely impressive. And..... way way way beyond where I will ever find the time to get to. And when I clicked the "Play with an example" link I literally LOL'd!!! I may have no idea who your target audience is, but from this example.... it's not…

I'm at a similar guitar-level as you, but I'm delighted by the site. The hardest thing about ascii-tabs for me is to understand the timing. This fills that missing link.

The site is beautiful, and I'll use it, and even try to add a couple of tabs. This needs to live on people! :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm in the same skill-level as you are, but I had a completely opposite reaction. For me, this was amazing because it distilled how something as hard as the example is played and can be learned.

A great piece of software in the same space as SoundSlice is Capo: http://supermegaultragroovy.com/products/Capo/

Capo's pretty good but I find it quite labour intensive to put the tabs in.

This is great. Would love to see tab support for 4 and 5 stringed instruments as well (5 st banjo, tenor banjo, mandolin etc)!

Ukulele player here, I would also like this (though I suppose I could just tab out the bottom 4 strings) :)

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.)

My first thought was that the perfect place for the word SHARE and a thin horizontal strip of "favicon-sized" buttons was ...the same place you warned me that my IE10 might not work ≡÷þ
