Link is http://www.musicoacher.com/ Looks like a tool that shows you guitar chords with fingerings under YouTube videos. Cool part is that he's algorithmically determining the chords -- no manual entry. Very nice.

actually, the entry is manual, and to be honest the current entry mode can be pretty tedious, but improved ways are on development.

So entry is manual, but you have an algorithm to help you determine the chords?

it's for the chord entry component, you inform the chord position (the frets that are going to be played at each string) and the algorithm will name this chord and compute which finger should go where (and also add bare chords when it fits).

For a more fleshed-out version of this product idea, see https://www.soundslice.com/completed/

tha's cool, I did saw this site before but didn't notice they have a video annotation tool, just noticed the player, great thing I'll take a lot of ideas from there now :)

I'm the main guy who makes Soundslice. :) Yes, we launched the video annotation tool in 2012 and shifted focus to the sheet-music version in 2014. Our number one bit of feedback was: "Please add support for standard notation!" -- hence the shift.

Here's a tech talk I gave about that original Soundslice version: http://37signals.com/talks/soundslice
