Interresting question, never actually thought of this myself
I guess it's either the instructors themselves or Kris, maybe someone can enlighten us here? |

Recently all of us (instructors) are able to rate our lessons by ourself.
But you can always go wrong with rating cause none of us has same background in playing and some stuff that are easy to someone will be kind a hard for someone else,and both of them have pretty same level of technique or knowledge. So take rating system as small guide when browsing through lesson but also try some other lessons with different ratings. -------------------- Youtube

I agree but then we would have like 5-6 parameters for rating,
technique(or few of them if different techniques are involved), stamina, theory knowledge, fretboard knowledge, emotional playing etc. That might be too confusing for some members I'm afraid. -------------------- Youtube

Its pretty impossible to rate difficulty perfectly (unless members vote and a large number of them)..But i think current system allows for pretty accurate ratings and good guidelines for members when choosing what to practice..Also I suggest when choosing a lesson to practice not to pay much attention to ratings , give it a listen and if it seems doable to YOU go for it no matter what.

Muris and Bogdan have a point here. Instructors rate the lessons difficulty, but it is always good to watch the difficulty rating from a very relative standpoint because we all have different subjective ratings. Imagine how it would be if all members on GMC would put their ratings? Since we have a lot of different profile players here, for an absolute beginner all lessons are at rating 10, and for intermediate player all lessons bellow 5 would be practically 1 because he can play them all.
I think you see my point, and recommend to look at this ratings loosely, and really check the lesson to evaluate yourself on what level it is. Ratings are good for quick finds, and mostly they are good thing ti start the search from, but the main decision wetter to learn the lesson or not should be made by really checking the parts of the lesson to some extent. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

How about the instructors discuss and vote for the ratings the difficulty of a lesson before it gets rated? They could do it where the normal user can't see it.

I think the syytem that we have in the moment is fine. We, the instructors, rate our own lessons, but Kris can "overrate" us which is perfectly fine for me, actually sometimes I find it rather difficult to rate, so the input of somebody else is more than welcome.

Uhm, that is not a bad idea but it would not be too efficient, because we have lots of lessons going on, and imagine if we would have to discuss about everyone that should be live -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

I use the difficulty rating just as a first resource to choose between, let's say, 20 different rock solo lessons.
Once I have narrowed the list to 3 or 4 lessons I just watch the videos and forget about the difficult rating at all, all I trust is my ears to see if I like how it sounds, and my eyes to check if I will be able to learn it in a reasonable amount of time. -------------------- Guitars:

Thats a good strategy! Use numbers as general ratings and than see if lesson looks doable to you.We may choose some advanced techniques too but still be able to practice them nicely if you set your mind to it -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net
