"Nice picking!! I learnt the self same version from Steve Kaufman but like me you put in a few extra bits. Looks like she has made you do your picking the garage teee heee"
For Fans of Flatpicking Guitar Magazine
Flatpicking Guitar Digital Academy
I was saddened by the email announcement I received today about the launching of the Flatpicking Guitar Digital Academy.
Yes, saddened.
Don't get me wrong. The basic idea is great, but I won't be subscribing or buying anything there. The reason is that it uses (as does Happy Traum's Homespun Tapes and Stefan Grossman's Guitar Workshop) the services of Leaping Brain, including their proprietary DRM. (I buy a considerable amount from both Homespun and Guitar Workshop, but I won't use their download service.)
This DRM, while (falsely) claiming to protect the rights of content owners, infringes the rights that customers have under copyright law.
So I have two requests:
- If you continue to use Leaping Brain, ask them to turn off the DRM.
- Please let me continue to buy and download magazines, books, and accompanying audio files the same way I always have from flatpickdigital.com. I'll buy printed books and CD and DVD disks before I'll buy anything through Leaping Brain.

"That's nice guys! I like the slower tempo as well, thanks for taking the trouble to put it up."

"Yay Derek! Smooth, lively, and chock full of feeling. If you had a goal with this project, I would say you've exceeded it handily. Will come back and listen simply because it's that enjoyable:)"
