I built this for myself. Turns out other guitarists had the same problem.

I'm a self-taught guitarist.
Every time I wanted to learn a song I ended up with 5 browser tabs, open YouTube for the video, a tuner, a metronome, a backing track, and something for the chords. Before playing a single note.

I got tired of it.
So I built a tool that puts everything on one page.
One page per song. Embedded video, speed control, A/B loop, metronome, tuner, backing tracks, amp settings. Free, no account needed.

I also built the content pipeline: the site scans trusted YouTube guitar creators daily, extracts artist and song from the video title, enriches each page with BPM, tuning, genre and Spotify data automatically. 2,828 songs. 639 artists. Built solo with Claude Code, Astro and Cloudflare.

10 days live. 342 sessions, 227 unique visitors, ~15 minutes average session. 29% returning. Referral traffic averages 32 minutes per session, someone spent 76 minutes on the Led Zeppelin page.

Not all smooth, the practice toolbar broke on iOS for 3 days due to a YouTube API incompatibility. Fixed now. That's solo dev life.

Still zero organic search. But the people who find it stay.

Curious if anyone else built something originally just for themselves.
