I went through and added some upgraded formatting to the FAQ.
Hopefully this will make it easier for people to find what they’re looking for without having to scan through a wall of text.
If you’ve already read the FAQ, nothing significant has changed. A word or two here and there and added a reference to BassBot. Nothing you need to re-read it over.
There are some legal concerns about doing this and it gets even more complicated when you introduce ‘fair use’ for purposes of instruction. I won’t pretend to understand all of it but it seems like…
If you produce the transcription or the backing track
And you post it here as an example of your work
To be reviewed in a learning/instructional environment
Then it should be fine.
I would have thought that the posted covers would fall into that category.
I guess the cover backing track could be an issue but the transcription should be OK.
I wondered why this was not already being done.
What a WHACKY world eh.
Thank you for your explanation.
Hmmm I’m out of town or I’d do a deeper search. I know I created something and even uploaded a couple of my scores. I wish I could remember what I named it
@PamPurrs could you post on the corners and 50 songs topics inviting people to post all their transcriptions.
I would love to see that take off. Either there or here. I’m not at all bothered by people posting their transcriptions with their covers. Whatever makes it easier to keep things organized is a win for all of us.
Oh yeah, I get that. I meant for any transcriptions done by individuals and not taken from the 50 First Songs content. I get it though. It’s not necessary for doing the songs and, therefore, not likely. I guess I was just getting excited about growing the amount of transcriptions.
There is an “other instrument” covers thread here somewhere, so I don’t see why not, you can post them there and make a section in your index just for guitar.
