Bill,
I suppose I would if the someone was selling it for profit, this guy isn't, he's sharing it for free after figuring it out on his own.
As he said, if you're sitting around with some friends jammin' and you show them the chords to (pick a tune) and you then all sit around and play it, then that's infringement. No-one will play anyone's songs if they have to pay royalties on it everytime they perform it.

Performing a cover before a live audience can only help not hurt an artists sales.

If this is infringement, then anyone that gigs and does not pay the artist and publishers royalties if they sing their songs at a gig, is also violating copyright laws. There, they are getting paid for the gig and making a paltry profit for the work. Where does/would it stop?
