body: On youtube, can i do the following whilst collecting ad revenue?
  
  
  `Teach someone to play a copyrighted song on guitar (i.e. ed sheeran)?`
  
  
  Is this an infringement of copyright? I have found some research that suggests it may be ok:
  
  
  * The NMPA [National Music Publishers Association](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Music_Publishers_Association) seem to enforce artist copyright rights.
  * It appears Youtube have an agreement with NPMA to royalty share [link](http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/08/17/idUS115394738920110817)
