It would really have to depend... more likely not. I am a huge Iron Maiden fan but not sure I want to spend even a few bucks to learn some tips or licks. (god knows I have spend enough on Maiden throughout the years - I own just about every recording they have ever released in the US) Honestly I would rather have a guy like Roy pop in or even other session bassists that really know music.
OT but FWIW I was reading recently that he (Steve H) actually only uses 2 fingers that suprised me. Billy Sheehan has a few good vids out there where he discusses his 3 finger technique.
But back on topic I would probably not jump on that. There is just SO MUCH available online and in books and DVD's I would not see much reason for it. TalkBass has a Ask the Pros section that is used quite a bit. TMBG is so different and so good branching out would take away from actually DOING THE COURSE. Still willing to bet a very small percentage of us have worked all the way through all the lessons. We should be given more motivation to finish the course rather than work on other stuff.
Maybe a submitted recording along teh way to show we are "getting it". Then give us a little forum award. God knows internet folk LOVE useless, worthless made up awards to boost our ego. I'd be on that quicker than Elvis on a whoopie pie.
Again I would rather Roy or a someone else with chops jump in and give an assignment now and again.
