I finally got my guitar computer to the point where it is not a "work-in-progress" anymore. It was a lot of work so I made a blog to record how it is set up, in case it crashes completely.
But I thought it might be useful to other people also, so I wrote it with that in mind.
My guitar computer does things like:
- like automatically downloads and unzips shows and puts the new shows in winamp automagically.
- lets me play along with any song
- lets me quickly seach for all occurences of a song with the show it is from listed in the search results
- no need to "add shows" to winamp. Directories are scanned automatically and each show is preserved in it's "show form". (I use the Dynamic Library plugin for winamp, winamp's Media Library is no good for shows)
- automatically records whatever I've been playing (as well as whatever I was playing along to)
- right click a song in winamp and have it ready to analyze jerry's solos in the song. Displays the notes and lets you slow down the song and pause it on any note. Works very well.
- Displays a web page for the current song in winamp with links to the archive.org page for the show, the rukind chords for that song, lyrics, links to search archive.org for all shows containing the song, etc.
Anyhow, feel free to check it out:
