Misc : Songsterr - an online flash guitar tab player - pcmusicLet me introduce you to Songsterr, an online flash guitar tab player that might encroach upon Guitar Pro's territory very soon.

Basically Songsterr is accompanying each song tab with an audio file that plays alongside it. The site's flash player will also automatically scroll through each tab, indicating exactly which note is being played and you can slow down to half speed when it's time for the tricky part.

Of course Songsterr lacks many advanced features such as slides, bends or vibrato but hey, it was launched earlier this month, let it grows ! Furthermore,the developers have some promises in stock :

- addition of library of 50 000 songs;
- support of more guitar effects (slides, bends, pull offs, hummer ons, etc);
- electric guitar sound engine and support of more instruments;
- upload of tabs by user (in Guitar Pro format);
- social features.

Just take a look and you will see that this online application has got a great potential !
