Oof - If I used a song not in public domain and did everything my own way other than lyrics, I could get soundcloud issues?
Better pick something else lol
The Guitar Talk "Xmas Mall Music" 2019 Challenge!
ScottyDogg I seriously doubt you'll have any issues - the one entry (Dave's) got pinged a few months back in a cover challenge, but he had a long sample of a SOAD song. Not a showstopper, we just hosted his entry on box.net ? .
Eish!
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".
