Hello, hope you all re having an amazing friday! 🔥 I wanted to ask in this community since I know especially @Nikola Gugoski and @Christian Lie among probably many others have a lot of experience with this. I love using examples from famous bands/artists when showing stgh on the guitar, its how I ve been teaching 1o1 here in Vienna all my life, however on youtube when I do that there is this Copyright Claim hovering over my head, some videos get strikes others dont. I dont use original recordings, I simply play the gutiar parts and talk yet those get copyright strikes. I want to record some covers/song breakdowns in the future but dont know if theres any point. How do you guys go about that? Is it not a big deal since it only affects (currently nonexistent) monetisation, or could it end up getting me banned from the platform ? Did you guys really go all the length of attaining official permissions for using tracks? D greatly appreciate some insights from people with more experience. :) Thanks in advance 🙏

I've been recording videos as a hobby for a very long time. And i recently found this old vlog i made from 9 years ago. I had no clue what i was doing at the time. Just documenting the life in Oslo as a 21 year-old 😅 Do you have any unflattering videos of yourself from way back?

I have been taking a deep dive into Time and it's guitar solo, trying to break down and analyze each lick it is made up of to better understand solos in general. You can't really study Time without also studying Breathe as its reprise is the unofficial final verse of Time. I stumbled upon a reddot post comparing the prose of both of these songs and it got my story teller brain working and I figured this was the best place to share my thoughts. The introspective nature of this era of Pink Floyd's lyrics are honestly my pick for the greatest of all time. Simple prose almost like limericks, but they really packed a punch. Breathe and Time parallel stories of individuals making two different decisions early in their life. With a 5 act structure illustrating how they different and similar these paths can be. Breathe is somewhat optimistic but also mysterious enough in verbiage that it can be taken as a tale of optimism or caution. Time on the other hand is clearly cautionary and banally tragic. To keep this guitar related, this shows in the great chord progressions of both, with breathe being one of the most unique I've ever heard. Time is much more of faithful to a slow moving melancholic The protagonist of Breathe leaves home early and with ambition determined to decide his own fate Where as in Time they wait around for something to come to them In Breathe they make memories and enjoy life in their prime In Time they grow bored and waste their days until they realize their prime is almost over. In Breathe the now middle aged protagonists ambitions bury him into his work, as he presumably forgets to sit down and enjoy the life he's built. In Time the protagonist spends his middle age years trying to make up for the time he wasted. The ending of breathe seems more up to interpretation, At first I thought it was a song about how ambition can keep you away from what makes life great. As riding the tide let's you live long and fly high. But the protagonist did not make that choice, so he presumably rode the biggest wave and died early due to stress.

Here are some changes that are coming to the group: - Less focus on guitar lessons, more fun. - I'm relaunching my old YT channel. So expect people from there to join soon and be kind to them. - For current students the lessons will continue per usual, but we'll stop posting homework here. - Potentially changing the name, description and look of the group. - If you have any inputs on what we can make the group better, let me know! We're in this together 😊

Absolutely loved this song since the day i heard it. And it's a lot of fun to play on the guitar as well. Hope this inspires you to learn something new this weekend :)
