I just stumbled over two cool sites that work in essentially the same way, soundslice.com, which has been online for a while it seems but I have only heard about it now, and you-tab.com, which has been online since today (so its difficult to reach as it got quite popular fast).

What you can do there is make tabs online synchronized to youtube videos! Essentially you search at the site for videos on youtube you want to tab out. Then as the video plays you can make live annotations by clicking buttons on the site interface and tab it out. You of course need to know what the right chords are and when chordchanges happen to do this, pretty much how you would do it on paper yourself.

So far its mostly guitar though, at least as far as I could see on soundslice.com. There are some ukulele songs with annotations, but they don't seem to work right, I could only see the first chord and then no change. You-tab.com doesn't load very well at the moment, so I am not sure if its possible to tab out ukulele songs, but the how to video shows a track setting saying guitar, so you may be able to switch that to ukulele.

So maybe some of you tab makers out there are interested in tabbing out some songs on those sites, would be awesome for the rest of us!

Here are the links to the sites and examples:

http://www.you-tab.com (might be difficult to reach at the moment)

Have fun!
 
Just a little bump, because also you-tab.com is now available with no problems like at the starting time. Haven't really found ukulele covers or songs there though.

Not very easy though to find an actual video you can use because of copy rights.

True, with youtube that is difficult.
Maybe if someone tabs out a uke song, they can post it here, so we can find it. Although I still don't know if its possible to tab out with uke specs, did not try myself.
 
I signed up for a soundslice account today. From what I can tell, there are only two completed ukulele songs. Here's one of them. It's not a song I'm into, but it does play through with tabs and chords. When I zipped ahead it did get stuck on a chord. I'm guessing there's a feature to let you pause on a chord to learn it and I just don't know how to undo it.

It's definitely guitar-focused, but the format is nice. I'd love to see more ukulele songs on it.

I decided to post one of my favorite songs and hit request and see what happens. There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow. Seems like a perfect uke song!
