Hey there!
 We are keen on keeping all material on GMC legal, and working to get licences and permission from different copyright holders (a very slow process...). At the moment, we have a general "streaming licence", which make the following possible: -interpret and record famous songs as backing tracks or part of a lesson (you don't have to make a new arrangement) The following is not possible yet: -make a tab of a famous song (not even your own interpretation) -use an existing recording of a famous song (from an album or similar) Hopefully we will have some more options in the near future!  If you have an idea for a lesson, but are not sure if it is legal or not, please ask on the instructor board or email me! Related topic: Are we allowed to use classical material? |

So its ok to show how to play a famous song (record your own backing track of it) but we can't include a gtp tab of it (how we play it) or any tab below lessons videos even for parts of the song ? Can we write down in words what we are playing , like G here C there or do the same thing in audio with voice ?

This is a step forward definitely!!!..Is it maybe possible to include tab on the video itself (on screen) because of the streaming licence ?
Or we could maybe speak (audio) something like you are playing the 3rd fret of the E string here twice than go to 5th fret on A string etc and show the tune that way? I'm sure members would love to see some famous songs lessons.. Great advancement either way! Good work Maria and Kris! -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

How about a lesson on a famous song, not tabbed but with close up on the hand and real slow movement. So studens will have to look and copy.
Could for ease be printed text in the video saying which scale is used at the moment, or soloing i "C pentatonic".. something. If it's only the matter of printing tabs but the playing itself can be filmed I think it's doable. Just if it's explained to students why tabs can't be posted. ...and we make it clear they can't go lookup tabs elsewheter to post here. Cos they will find the tabs in other places... Just not to bring them here. Would that work? -------------------- My bands homepage

Really deep topic imho.
From my point of view,teaching others to your own stuff( the way how it works atm) is a lot more cool than teaching famous tunes and licks On the other hand,we all know very well that most of members would love to learn famous riffs and solos,I wanted the same when I was beginner,hand on heart
