I was wondering why some videos were pulled. I took lessons twice but wasn’t learning what I wasn’t learning what I wanted or seeing the progress I wanted. I found that I could learn more of what I wanted through online videos. There are some really good ones on YouTube and other sites. Of course, there’s a lot of garbage up there too.

I started posted the best ones up here: http://guitargodin90days.com/

You can find songs you want. You can search by band. I’ve also collected a bunch of skills and ‘tips & tricks’ type videos. There are still some from NextLevelGuitar, but I did notice that most of them are ‘inspired by’ videos rather than teaching a specific song.

Incredible… the guitar world is becoming as tightly policed as the recorded music world

Isn’t there some law where you are allowed to play a cover of a song in live setting, but just can’t record it. Wouldn’t a “live” lesson be such a thing…

That absolutely stinks…

I don’t see how the industry can be changing the rules of copyright at their convenience. I guess they’re doing all they can to make a buck these days, probably because they’ve gone downhill ever since the invention of the mp3 and practice of illegal downloads.

I run a weekly lessons blog that uses videos that I post on YouTube, but I have made a point of not using other peoples music.

No matter how you feel about the RIAA, there are still laws that prohibit the unauthorized use of other artists copywritten material. The music industry is so far behind the curve in terms of keeping up with the changes in technology that at this point they are just trying to make examples in the most high profile way that they know how. I don’t want to be made an example of, and I make my living off of teaching guitar…

I think that the smart thing for any teacher who wants to have online lessons is just to steer away from the potential problems that come from that kind of lesson….
