Soundslice is free online service which allows you to play guitar song covers from YouTube and at the same time create tabulature, or tabs for short. For all those who aren’t guitar players, this means music sheets and notes, to help you practice and learn how to play the song faster. Created music sheets can be shared with other users, a lot of songs have already been annotated, this means that tablature has been created. You can select them and simultaneously listen to how the song is played and keep track of the tabulature.
Songs can be opened directly from YouTube using the search tool at the top. Video will open up in a new window, left of it you can see playback controls. Audio speed can be slowed down, but without changing the pitch. This is very useful when you’re trying to guess which notes were played on a fast song. Track chords, notes and tabs can be viewed and edited using the timeline down below. It works similarly to a spectrum analyzer that you get in audio editors. Song is played, and the track notes move as it progresses, showing you which chords are used.
