): It's better to have it and not use it all the time, then REALLY want it, and not have it.

There is actually another guitar site that already do "real" song lessons and post tabs for the songs. The site is jamplay.com (if linking another guitar site is against the rules, please remove the link). They're also a member of an organisation called ASCAP. Now I don't know if it's from ASCAP that they're getting their permissions but since they seem to be based in the USA they would probably be hit pretty hard if they were doing this without permission.
Also, drummingguitarist06, I think your idea is a great one and I don't thinke there are any really valid arguments against teaching "real" songs except the legal ones. As far as I can gather, all of you who are saying no are at a level playing wise where you generally don't have too much trouble learning songs by your own, either by ear or by tab. However, if you're anything like me, you didn't start out that way. I remember myself trying to learn in the beginning, I couldn't even learn by tabs because I sucked so much and of course I wanted to learn my favourite songs from my favourite bands. If there had been a guitar site back then teaching me how to play my favourite songs I would have been all over it and I think it would be a major draw for beginners wanting to learn how to play. I think most of us pick up a guitar for the first time because we have listened to a band or a guitarist and went WOW I just got to be able to play like that. Finding a site that teaches you that music would be extremely valuable. To fkalich - I think learning songs is one of the more important skills if you want to become a really good guitarist. Memorization of larger coherent chunks of musical material is a skill in itself that needs to be practiced if you want to get good at it. Before I started playing in a band I generally learned riffs here and there, just picking out what I thought were the coolest parts of the songs. Now, after playing in the band and learning many new songs (we're a cover band so we're always adding new songs) I find that I memorize songs much faster than when I started out and that is a very valuable skill for any guitarist and you won't get it without practising it. The second part of that is of course song writing. Maybe there are a couple of geniuses out there who can write awesome material without listening to any other peoples music, but once again, I am not one of them. By learning other peoples music, their preferred progressions etc. I get inspiration and material for my own song writing. I for one would welcome analysis of songs/groups from teachers. After all, that's basically what they are doing in the "In the style of..." lessons except they come up with their own part instead that sounds as much as the original band as possible. Deeproots - Do you find the "In the style of..." lessons unethical? If I'm understanding you correctly they're basically doing everything in those lessons that you call unethical (i.e. analysing something that someone else has written and taking credit for it). I'm sorry if I'm misunderstanding you but that's how I'm reading your argument. Also you seem to miss the point that someone elses analysis of musical material might be alot more accurate than what you yourself might be able to produce and can therefore be valuable. I still ask my guitar teacher from time to time for an analysis of certain song parts or whatever simply because he is a better guitar player/musician and will often be more accurate in his musical judgements than I am. I understand if you can do all these things by yourself but I think you need to think about those people who have not reached a level where they can do these kind of things themselves yet. So the question shouldn't just be "Is this valuable for me?" but "Could this be valuable to me or other people wanting to learn how to play guitar?" and in this case I think the answer is a resounding YES. /Marcus |
