Am I allowed to present arrangements of copyrighted musical compositions to paid subscribers?
I am launching a subscription service where users receive access to materials to learn guitar. I would like to include materials that are not in the public domain but have not worked out if this is allowed under my circumstances.
Additional details:
- The arrangements would be excerpts from the full composition (the main part of a song)
- The arrangements would be presented in guitar tablature (tab) and not in standard music notation
- No recordings/performances/audio of the arrangements would be included
- The arrangements would be simplified versions of the original compositions
- The arrangements are not downloadable and access would only be to subscribed members
- The inclusion of specific arrangements would not be used to advertise subscriptions or the service
- I would credit the original work
- This would be for educational purposes (although exists inside a commercial wrapper)
Any insight would be appreciated, thank you!
