  reference guides — impedance, gain staging, cable capacitance, effects-loop
  routing — plus practice methodology and rights & IP for working musicians.
  Formerly guides.guitar.solutions.
- **Suede IP Registry:** registration is live at https://ip.suedeai.ai on Base
  and Avalanche mainnet. The registry records provenance and issues no licenses.
  Strumly itself exposes no registration, licensing, or rights-settlement tool;
  its rights articles are educational context only.
