FWIW, we have two albums released to all the major streaming platforms w/o any question ever arising. While around half of the songs feature friends playing guitar the other half features a large variety of solo RT's and all of the songs use RT/RD rhythm tracks. I have nothing in the song meta data regarding who played what.

i may be naive (ample precedent) but I don't see how a perhaps one or two bar riffs could trigger any algorithms. Given the different progressions used and the different permutations regenning yields it's all a mystery to me.

I don't use a lot chords (4-7 typically) or complex chords but I do try to have a lot of changes. To me for RT solos that gives more distinct sounds that if they don't exactly support the melody than at the least they don't distract from it. Also all of the RT solos I've used on our productions are comped up from multi regens which further reduces the likelihood of them being identical to something else.

Given that chord progressions can't be copyrighted I don't see how a non melodic riff (non melodic in that it doesn't copy a known melody) could trigger an issue or why some entity would care enough to create an algorithm to search for them.

All very strange I think.
