Unfortunately lost a lot of good instructors too and there are far more archived instructors with very few lessons each than active ones. But you are right, the one's that are still here are top notch.
The whole point is all those awesome songs wont be back...yes more will come but you can't replace classics with B-sides or low hanging licensing fruit. The damage is done so unless we start seeing some absolute classics of the guitar world replacing them then point is kind of moot.
"you can't replace classics with B-sides or low hanging licensing fruit"
That sums it up pretty well, Tinpan.
I recently learned (from GT Admin) that GT often purchases licenses for bundles of songs rather than negotiating for songs individually. Clearly, there must have been a fire sale on a Rolling Stones song bundle. I'm sure it takes a lot of time and effort on the part of instructors to produce quality song tutorials so I'm hoping there will be a sizable influx of more popular new songs in the near future.
As for the current catalog of 800+ titles, I've found that many songs that I don't really care for nevertheless entail awesome guitar parts that are challenging to learn and satisfying to play once mastered. In my humble (and likely unpopular) opinion, I don't think one can reasonably criticize a guitar learning site for providing that type of material, especially given the large number and high quality of existing song lessons.... so long as that includes a reasonable amount of fruit from higher up in the tree. OK, I'm gonna duck now!
BTW, what the hell is the preceding message? GT using bots on it's own users?
