can you use famous songs in the applying video
Well I am not Kris but let me help out a little since this has been covered many times here.
No, that is why the lessons are "in the style of (insert famous shredder)." It's a possible copyright violation to tab out popular songs and post them on the net.

If the composer of the song died more than 70 years ago you can use it (it has to be your own arrangement though).
Getting permission for modern music seems very tricky - but it can perhaps be done for some songs, depending on who the publishers are. If our negotiations should be successful we will return with more news!

It would be nice to be able to do some popular songs here. Good luck with that! It is an interesting thing to look into even if it can not be done.
