Here's what Sandy wrote me:
"We're checking on what that might mean in terms of licensing and copyright. It's one thing for someone to transcribe for themselves personally but another if it's being shared. While we pay a mechanical license to record an arrangement of someone else's song, there are different license issues (which I believe have to be negotiated directly with the copyright holder) when written versions of the music are being created... so not only would there be permissions from us but there are probably fees/permissions needed from the copyright holders to the song itself. This is going to take a bit of work to sort out."
In other words, they're trying to do the right thing. Peter, can you help out here? What exactly are the legal aspects of sharing a personal transcription of an artist's arrangement of someone else's song if it's for learning purposes, you have the permission of the artist who did the arrangement, and there's no cash involved? Does that fall under fair use or would it technically still have to be cleared through ASCAP/BMI or HFA? |

My goal is to be able to play as well as people think I can. |

| First time I heard "Puff" ki ho'alu style was from Uncle Bobby Santos from Everett, WA. He passed the month after I heard him. Great loss. |

What was it that we needed to get permission? I remember sending them an e-mail and getting a response...but nothing else.
