But if I just continue a thread asking for help in perfecting a BIB version of the song, that's not an infringement?
Okay, I will post ongoing versions of my effort in this thread and ask for suggestions. I suppose it it were a contest, no one would help each other.


You can learn it, practice it, discuss it, play it privately and for personal consumption. It can't be used in any manner in a public or commercially viable circumstance without permission and/or payment. There is value to winning a contest - we can't do that.

I don't think discussing the construction of the song and certainly any BIAB/RB techniques infringe on anything that would be copyrightable.

Fair Use doctrine allows educational study of copyrighted works.
