    I get hit with copyright notices all the time for using actual songs as backing tracks for me to play guitar on social media- one of them was actually really serious. I got popped for doing it on Soundcloud to a few Lady Gaga songs. 2 of them were live versions, a couple others were the studio tracks. I got served with papers over that, and there was supposed to be a hearing. The record label reviewed it, apparently so did Gaga. They dropped it at that point and actually let me keep the live jam sessions published. She and her people were really cool about it…

    I honestly kinda wanted to have the actual hearing over it, because it would have ended up with me and her in the same room with recordings of me playing guitar to her songs. I would have asked if she liked it, and then said all this is worth it 💁‍♂️
