How To Submit Content

Sorry it took so long, but now all registered users have the ability to submit new content to LearnToPlayAnything.com.

Here is a brief tutorial how to do this.

Before we start: Find a good tutorial video on YouTube

The only thing we need is the URL.

Now, if you are a registered user, you will have the option to click "Submit" in the Main Menu.

Click it and an editor will pop-up.

Now here it gets a little bit tricky, and I'm sorry we don't have a better solution yet, but it's neccessary that you follow the following steps closely:

So here is the editor:

 

Please don't change any of the "Publishing" settings.

However, remember the "Toggle editor" button. You will need to use it twice.

Ok, so let's go.

1. Click the editor button once!

The editor will change to a text-only editor.

2. Enter a title for your submission

3. Paste the Youtube URL into the text-only editor.

It should look like this:

Now:

4. Click "Toggle editor" again!

5. Click "Save".

And your're done!

You should see something like this:

if you click on "Show Most Recent Songs" you will see your latest submission at the top, in our case the Dire Straits tutorial I just submitted:

We will categorize the user-submitted content weekly or so, so the songs are all assigned to the right artists. Currently we can't allow users to do it themselves. (We have to figure it out first.. :))

Please submit only content relevant to this site!

 

Thanks for Reading!

 

 

Not Many Updates Lately

Recently there have not been many updates to the website. We apologize and promise to add new tutorials soon. There will probably also be an entirely new feature added to display tabs for songs. We'll keep you posted.

Things have been a little bit hectic lately, but we still want to thank all visitors and especially those that registered an account with us.

 

New Features

After getting some good feedback on the Hacker News board ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1016519 ), we have decided to add new functionality.

You can now register an account (don't worry, we will not do anything evil with your e-mail address). When you login you will be presented with the ability to upload files as attachments for the videos. Examples might be sheet music or guitar tabs in PDF format. We will check every file before it gets published, but of course we might accidentally allow copyrighted material.

Please notify us of any infringements so we can take specific files down.

 

Welcome!

 

Hello everybody!

We're glad you are here.

I don't know whether you think this page is worthwhile, but we certainly think it is. We've spent a lot of time indexing the songs we have so far, and we have certainly already learned quite a bit about rock history. :)

I hope you stick with us as we continue building this page and if you think you can help us, then by all means, use the contact page to shoot us an e-mail! Let's see how this goes and what features we can add in the future.

How do I end this first blogpost? Hm.. How about a quote?

Keep on rockin the the free world! - If you don't know who sang this, you should leave this page immediately and delete your bookmark! :)

Cheers!
