Just the Way You Are
Listen
Bruno Mars first, Ed Sheeran next, and the copyright FAQ last. Everything is combined into one page with the same visual theme.
Each song card has a default BPM. Use the song button to load that tempo, then start the metronome and adjust it to your own practice speed.
Pick a song, grab a ukulele or guitar score, and open your streaming link in a new tab.
The Ed Sheeran content stays intact and follows the Bruno Mars section on the same page.
Classic R&B songs with the same practice tools, score links, and listening buttons as the rest of the page.
A Disney section for ukulele and guitar arrangements, added after the new R&B section and before the FAQ.
An anime songs section for additional arrangements, placed after Disney and before the FAQ.
Tune first, then jump into any song. Tap a string button to hear its reference pitch.

The FAQ remains last, with the same content and accordion behavior from the existing page.
Copyright is a legal right that automatically protects original creative works, including music, lyrics, books, artwork, and films, the moment they are created. The creator, or whoever they assign the rights to, controls how that work is copied, distributed, performed, or adapted.
It exists for two reasons: to give creators economic incentive by letting them earn from their work, and to eventually enrich the public domain once the protection period expires, typically 70 years after the creator's death in many countries.
For music specifically, there are usually two separate copyrights: ① the composition, meaning the melody and lyrics, and ② the sound recording, meaning the specific recorded performance.
Lyrics and sheet music are both protected under copyright. Posting them on a public website, even for free and even with credit, counts as reproducing and distributing the copyrighted work without permission.
Music publishers actively monitor the web and may issue DMCA takedowns or pursue legal claims for unlicensed content.
The legal routes are usually to obtain a print license from the publisher or to use works that are clearly in the public domain.
Not without a license. Even if you write the score entirely yourself, a new arrangement of a copyrighted song is still a derivative work, and that right belongs to the copyright holder.
Your custom score can still reproduce the protected melody or chord structure of the original, so publishing it publicly can still be infringement.
To publish it legally, you would typically need an arrangement license or equivalent permission from the original publisher before making it public.
① Share privately. Making scores for personal use and keeping them off the public internet is the lowest-risk path.
② Use public domain songs. Traditional folk music, classical works, and other clearly public domain material can usually be arranged and published freely.
③ Get a license. Services such as Music Notes, Sheet Music Plus, or direct publisher channels may help you secure permission.
④ Use Creative Commons music. Some independent artists allow arrangements and derivatives under their license terms. Sources like Free Music Archive or ccMixter can help.
⑤ Compose your own music. This is the cleanest route because you fully control the work and can publish it freely.
