Wow - this is awesome. Well done! Any plans to add lyrics to the annotations? It would be cool to be able to follow other contributors as well because some people are great at tabbing things out and others are terrible. Some sort of star rating on the quality of the tab (similar to UltimateGuitar) would be nice as well. Also, small usability suggestion - I signed up and went looking for a way to start making annotati…

Thanks! There's nothing stopping people from adding lyrics as "basic track" annotations, aside from the awkward question of "do I annotate each word separately, or phrases?"

The site doesn't require email verification to start using it... What was it you couldn't find -- the "Add track" plus button?

Great! The ability to repeat the selected Chords is really nice. I would suggest adding real musical notation in another timeline (to help people that are learning it). BTW, I'm getting a console error in some few videos: Cannot read property 'player' of undefined

Thank you! Yes, standard notation is on the to-do list. It's obviously much more complicated than tabs, so I opted not to do it for launch. Is the console error happening consistently for certain videos, or is it sporadic?

After retry the error seems to have gone away; I guess that it was a problem with YouTube not responding petitions but I'm not sure; I am using extension-less Chrome in Windows 7.

Yeah - I couldn't find the "Add track" button. I guess I didn't initially get the concept that you had to search for a video before you could annotate it, but now it makes perfect sense...

Looks great. Definitely needs a copy/paste functionality. I tried to tab "blitzkrieg bop" (for the obvious reasons), and without copy/paste it's not so fun. But great site overall!

Also, I'm constantly clicking to add multiple notes in one section, but clicking just moves the time in the editor, until magically i convince it that i want to add another note in the tab... I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
