That response from Guitar Tricks is totally accurate.  But falls short.  They didn't answer the full question.  The question is "could they have kept the songs by paying more?" That's the piece they are not saying.  I have no idea what the numbers are.  But let's say they could have kept them by paying 10% more, and as a result raise our subscription prices by 10%.  I think most of us would understand and go with it.  If it was going to be 300% more, most would probably not go for that.  The real number is probably somewhere in between if it was a dollar decision.  I think we deserve to know.  


Guitar Tricks - Which was it:


1) The publishers just yanked any licensing, and there was nothing you could do. Or


2) They asked for an increase that you felt you could not pass along.


Please tell us.  #1 or #2.  We deserve to know at least that much.


And if #2, you have no obligation to tell us the amount, but we sure would like to know.


Thank you


Respectfully


Gary

Definitely. Who cares what individual figures how to play a song?? That crap on a new level!!


 This is even more suspect.

I received the same cut and paste email. Guitar Tricks let us down.

The email from three months ago?  Just now?

Nope. When the songs were taken down, I inquired and that is what I was sent. I guess that is still the response they are sending.
