Hi, First post so I want to say hello to everyone. Absolutely love the resources available on this site and from what I read so far this seems like a really supportive community.
Is a '.com' domain really still as necessary as it once was?

Hi,
First post so I want to say hello to everyone. Absolutely love the resources available on this site and from what I read so far this seems like a really supportive community.
I am currently Joint venturing on one online business course which is in motion right now, however I have had an idea I wish to pursue myself to do with learning the piano and want some advise on a domain name.
I've done a search on various threads and it seems that the consensus is the'.com' is still king. However, with current internet marketing techniques aimed at driving traffic to your site through lead generation opt-ins and building Facebook/youtube community's to build social proof/branding for your own tailored marketing funnel, and also less emphasis on domain name SEO. What exactly are the benefits of a .com domain other than huge product brand creation?
Is it still important to have a .com name if you are following the latest cutting edge internet marketing techniques to drive traffic to your site.
I ask as I am quite taken with the .academy domain name as I can create my own brand name and the .academy itself implies it is a site of learning rather than have to incorporate this aspect into a .com and settle for a domain that isn't as catchy or short.
If I chose a .academy domain what in your collective experience would be some disadvantages?
Thanks so much guys. Looking forward to becoming a regular here.
