Eish!
The Guitar Talk "Xmas Mall Music" 2019 Challenge!
V8 So literally I'd be doing everything completely from scratch and my own arrangement (other than the lyrics) so I wonder if that (not monetized) would count as fair use? Probably not though seeing as Jared Dines got demonitized for humming the smoke on the water riff
Maybe safer to just put together a public domain song arrangement
ScottyDogg I'm no lawyer - but we've had a goood few chats around here on copyright.
From what I understand - parody should mostly be fine, anything else can be questioned. From what I've observed - There's only issues when a human notices and claims DCMA - which won't happen if you arn't getting loooads of plays.
Whats going down on YT with music educators is inexplicable. But 10yrs ago tabs were "illegal" i.t.o copyright. They're still finding a middle ground on YT - streaming is big corporate business and I reckon we're seeing them fighting over market share.
So if you plan on releasing it on streaming services - I wouldn't. If you are doing it just for personal (and our) enjoyment - probably fine. I've got a handful of tunes with samples on SC for 6yrs, +/- 2k plays and 0 issues.
Nice challenge. Hope I find some time as I now work two jobs since last week.
I have the perfect Christmas song I would like to cover. I don't want to give too much away, but it comes form a game and has always been stuck in my head.....
V8 Hah, I like that amp stealer is somehow worse than girlfriend stealer ?

klaasvakie amp stealer is somehow worse than girlfriend stealer
There's one worse, dude whop nicks your speakers replaces with his own blown out ones...happens more often than you'd think!
klaasvakie I started off as a repugnant individual (Warlock), graduated to total douchebag (superstrat & Headless Steinberger), then found my rightful place as a Brother from another Mother (strat) ?

V8 wow ?????
For the record.. i own and play a tele ?.. everything else though ?
guidothepimmp For the record.. i own and play a tele ?
Wait...whhaaaattt??? You crossed over to the single coil side? ?
I occasionally yearn for my douchebag days - nothing like a good pinch harmonic ?
V8 haha.. yeh you should sit down then.. cos i have a strat too.. with 3 single coils ?
guidothepimmp Bwaaahaha - but which guitar do you play the most? I'm guessing a HSS shredder...?
Close... very close.. the go to is a HS fiddle ?
guidothepimmp ?, it's all you need really - if there isn't a floyd then we can apparently trust you with the band $$$...
Guess im trustworthy then. Its a hardtail.. no trem in sight?
To help stir the creative juices, here's a Xmas song that doesn't suck...(hattip to @studmissile
Out of all the parody xmas songs, I enjoy this one the most.

This one is going to be TOIT for me... My child was born prematurely on 19 October and his actual due date was 29 November... He is currently still in NICU in a hospital 100km away from home so we are traveling between home and hospital and are temporarily relocating (staying at friends) closer to the hospital.
If he gets home in time I will make a plan to smash out something... We are hoping he comes home soon because he has made some great progress... but the doctors still say "bargain on his original due date".
warrenpridgeon Hopefully he's home for Christmas. Congratulations.
? Ok this was fun. Head over to the ‘automatic Christmas song generator’ (I kid you not!)

Fill in the blanks and this thing spews out a Christmas song for you!! Here is mine:
A Wooly and Drunk Punk Rocker By Beer belly dudes
A Christmas Song
Last Christmas, I gave you my axe
But the very next day, you cut off your toe
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to Celine Dion
I'm dreaming of a hot Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the bills glisten and mosquitos listen
To hear crying in the snow
You were hippy
You were floofy
Monarch of braamfontein
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
The crowd were swinging
All the mosquitos they were singing
You asked me to drink
And then we did eat
But then last Christmas, I gave you my axe
And the very next day, you cut off your toe
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to Celine Dion instead
You're sleepy
You're lazy
Happy Christmas to you
I pray God it's your last
Rockin' around the Christmas fire
At the Christmas party hop,
Rockin' around the Christmas fire,
Let the Christmas spirit ring,
Later I'll have some beer
And me and Celine Dion will eat
I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about slap
I just want Celine Dion for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true oh
All I want for Christmas is Celine Dion
Oh, Celine Dion yeah, oh Celine Dion yeah
Celine Dion the Punk Rocker is a wooly, drunk soul
Celine Dion the Punk Rocker is a fairy tale they say
Celine Dion baby, I want you and really that is all
I'll wait up for you, dear
Celine Dion baby, won't you eat with me tonight?
So here it is, hot Christmas
Everybody's here to drink
Look to the future now
It's only just begun
Simply having a hot Christmastime
Simply having a hot Christmastime
