In plain words

Soundslice is a platform that combines YouTube videos with synchronized guitar tabs and interactive HTML5 playback. Users can watch performances while following along with notation, making it useful for musicians learning songs by ear or studying technique. The service syncs video with tablature in real-time, allowing players to slow down playback and practice sections at their own pace. It serves guitarists and other musicians looking to learn from recorded performances with detailed notation guides.

I didn't test it on a lot of different Youtube videos yet, so problem will arise for sure.
