I don't think anyone including moi ever suggested it was "simple" or "easy", rather just doable for the most part and [u]not impossible[/u] where the genuine will to do so was present, occasional non-negotiable or non-economically viable [u]exceptions notwithstanding[/u].

That said, anyone with an IQ arithmetically greater than their numerical shoe size is aware that Guitar Tricks is a business whose raison detre is to turn a healthy profit whilst providing tuition to the satisfaction of the majority demographic their core focus.

I also understand that conflict of interest when it comes down to spending on licencing of song tutorials. Self-evident to those of us having been on the planet a while and around it more than a few times speaking in both the metaphorical and literal sense, that the primary obstacle to obtaining and executing song tutorial licencing is cost to the enterprise vs benefit at a grudge point the consumers will accept. Everything else [u]including false objections[/u] is deflectional smokescreen.

Can't wait for more useless distractional novelty fluff like achievement awards, progress badges and other deflectional nonsense instead of seeing fulillment of overwhelmingly popular song requests of legends and highest selling band record sales ever after The Beatles like Led Zeppelin, et al.

Never mind. Steve, Andy, Justin and others have that covered. Having wised up, it's easy enough to pick up the ball in their 'A' game and run with it. Touchdown!
