Video Lesson 3-7-08 - Minor Blues Chord Progressions

Nice lesson you're pretty close to "Thrill is gone" right

Thanks!

Thats the nice thing about copyright law...a chord progression does not constitute a copyright...so we have a "B.B. King style minor chord progression"

That was not was I was suggesting but now that you mentionned it, would you have to pay some rights just because you would do a video lesson on Thrill is Gone ? I did quite some videos as well, for non profit use and never thought that some layers would eventually sue me

Is that possible ?

If I did do a lesson on how to the a specific song like "The Thrill is Gone" for example, legally I should pay for a license to use the song. Most people don't, and on the vastness of the internet the chances of you getting hassled are probably pretty small unless the owner of the song decides they want to make a big deal about it.

I read about a guy who had a youtube channel full of Shawn Lane videos (I think he had gotten many of them from Shawns family after he had passed away). On this guys channel there was one Steve vai video...when Vai wanted to make his own youtube channel his lawyers had youtube shut down whatever channels they could find with his stuff on it....this guy with the Shawn Lane videos had his account deleted because of one Vai video that he had.

Since I use youtube to host the videos for my instructional site I really can't afford something like that happening, so I make a point of not doing any specific songs. I have a few lessons where I use songs from my own album because I actually own those.....

OK MArk thanks for taking the time to explain me, I was aware of copyright problems because we had to delete a video of our band playing a Ry Cooder song on the demand of Warner representant but I didn't know that it was also possible for guitar lessons as well
