Hey /r/guitar, what are your thoughts on this web service?

I don't play guitar, or anything (wouldn't mind learning), but figured I'd ask about an idea I had.

Basically it'd be a site to upload your... guitaring? The idea was to use one of those guitar-to-usb things that usually record to your computer (apparently), then upload it to a site where you could play it, others could see it, whatever. Maybe mix it and shiz later on.

But not playing guitar I have no idea if that would even be useful, or wanted, so I'm asking you handsome people. I figure even if you don't want other jerks hearing you play, you could also use it as a sort of tracker to see how you're coming along.

If you think it sucks, don't worry, better to know now. If you're going to steal it and do it yourself, alright then, I'll come help there too.

How is this an improvement over (say) Soundcloud?

I'm not sure, never heard of Soundcloud before, seems pretty polished. I'll take a look at it though, thanks.

I'm curious, what made you think of that if you don't play guitar?

I do want to play, haven't been able to get myself anything for it however. I thought for me it'd be handy to record it and see how I was going at least.

Umm, "steal it"? You probably should spend some more time on the Internet first and see if you are the one "stealing"?

(Seriously: 'Ever heard of youtube? Someone else mentioned Soundcloud, but I think youtube is the most common because it lets you see the person playing.)

It was part tongue-in-cheek, I'm aware of the "ideas don't matter; execution does" mantra and all that. I wouldn't consider it stealing really, just the words I chose.
