Hello people of gmc!

Its been a while since I last visited the site, and Im really confused.
Last time I was here, it was an awesome site with killer new lessons from guys like muris, emir and wallimann, lessons wich really blew you away, with awesome chops, licks, technuiqes and really high quality overall. But now when I log in, it seems to be only rock/metal lessons and everything seems kind of Beginner. No offense to anyone, but what has happend?

Each member on GMC has some kind of a goal, what he likes to play, practice, learn etc.. Some have modest goals, some have bigger goals.

The goal of GMC is to provide lessons and means to help all those goals become a reality. Everybody can come, customize his schedule and learn exactly what they want out of a wast knowledge base that exists here. The goal of GMC is to make knowledge transfer as efficient and comfortable as possible. People work hard to create that, and this is why subscription exists in the first place.

Now, what is your goal as a player? There is no point in making fast judgements here, because you did not cover all the factors. You said that something is wrong with GMC, but you haven't said what do YOU like to play and practice. The reason I say this is because there are so many lessons that came out since you've been gone, and it seems that you have checked only very small percentage of them. If you think there are too many rock/metal lessons now, using the search option will quickly reveal that is not true. If we say you haven't been on the site for 9 months time, let's see what came out in that time, starting in alphabetic order:

Classical: 8 lessons
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/search/n/.../n/13/Date/t/f/

Blues: 39 lessons
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/search/n/...0/n/7/Date/t/f/

Country: 7 lessons
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/search/n/...e/t/f/#lesson=2

Flamenco: 6 lessons
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/search/n/.../n/17/Date/t/f/

Funk: 9 lessons
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/search/n/...e/t/f/#lesson=2

Jazz: 14 lessons
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/search/n/...e/t/f/#lesson=2

Jazz Fusion: 13 lessons
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/search/n/...e/t/f/#lesson=2

Other: 8 lessons
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/search/n/...e/t/f/#lesson=2

Pop Rock: 18 lessons
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/search/n/...e/t/f/#lesson=3

Punk Rock: 6 lessons
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/search/n/.../n/30/Date/t/f/

Traditional: 12 lessons
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/search/n/...e/t/f/#lesson=2

101 spoken lessons: 13 lessons
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/search/n/...e/t/f/#lesson=3



That's total of 153 lessons from May that are barely or not connected with rock and metal. Not to mention tons of useful things in knowledge base.

You have a point that most lessons are focused towards beginners and most lessons are rock and metal genres (all kinds of rock and metal genres btw), but I think that's fair enough. Most people do tend to practice these kinds of lessons, and most people come here to learn to play.

If you feel you need to achieve some kind of a goal as a musician, we can help you achieve that. Let us know if we can recommend some kind of a practice plan, or give you advice on how to be a better player. To me, a customer that is having difficulties finding good lessons is in need of assistance. Let us help, since we are on the site for some time, and we know what to do to help.
