Michael-

Thank you for sharing the historical and detailed perspective on how transcribing is accomplished for any of these original songs we want to learn. The mystery is pretty much cleared up for me now on how it's done, I was not aware popular most song writers may not have written everything down during their song construction process as well how a professional instructor such as your yourself goes about putting the lesson plans together. So it's my understanding the Transcriber in this case Stelios transcribed what "you" put together for the lesson plan not his own interpretation of the song? If that's the case can anyone legally transcribe then, is there written permission needed from the source, because I see so many people coming up with their own version of many original songs? For instance, take a look at UltimateCGuitar.com and you will see what I mean with all the rubbish out there.
