Man I hate seeing all these classic rock songs being taken off

Where is a young person going to go to find out how to play these classics?  Big mistake.  You are forcing people to YouTube.

Any chance some can get a reprieve?

Unfortunately, this is not the outcome we had hoped for either. 

We did attempt to come to an agreement with the publishers for those songs, but were unable to. We will continue uploading new songs each week. 

Was it simply cost. Can we please have a bit more detail or an example?

Financial understanding or something else going on? Publishers not going to be able to do much else with the old classics surely?

Surely you can keep all the songs you previously had if you had to come back to your subscribers for a rate increase. To add to the comment by Tinpan, surely these old classics aren't going to do much else but make money; they'd rather them just sit and produce nothing?

No Bob Dylan ... sad turn of events here

Ok so we lost those song but what is the excuse for not adding a lot of new material. When you lose over 300 songs you would think you would add 3 or 4 new ones a week.

I lost "House of the rising sun" and "Wild hoses" overnight.  unreal.  I just finished learning both this wk.

"Lost"???

Both songs are available as I type, including two versions of 'Sun.

Strangely we are now also getting repeat song lessons. Recently another 'Lithium'.  We already have that and it is exactly the same, so why bother wasting valuable resources into re-publishing what we already have when subscribers are crying out for new content to replace all that we have just lost?
