Dammit, am I going to have to show them how it's done and get this party started ???? 
Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Dec 7 2010, 03:01 PM
Yes Ben - we want to see your pictures!!
Posted by: Nielzsz Dec 7 2010, 04:30 PM
Well, here is my upload I tried to use my creativity and i kinda like this one
Only thing that i hate, is that i cant get HD photos off my Iphone to the computer..
GMC is really a special space on the internet. Let me start of whit the forum. Nowhere on the internet can you find a more useful and friendlier forum. Simply look up or ask and you’ll get what you’re looking for.
And I can’t even find the words to describe how good the lesson system is, but ill try. The lessons are separated into different levels, by this you will directly see how good you’re getting at mastering the guitar!
The lessons are also easy understandable. This is because a lesson is split in multiple sections and every part is played at different speed.
But if you thought that this was it all… think again. Besides the lick of the day, several competitions, collaborations, and the possibility to play in a online band, there is a thing that helps me the most to become a better and better guitarist…
The REC program. The idea is simple, learn a lesson, video record yourself and put it on the forum. After that the instructors will grade you and give you positive and detailed feedback.
And when you don’t pass? You try again! Till you become a guitar lord!
So. Only one thing left to say…
GMC ROCKS!!

Guys, this is going to sound like a really dumb question, but HOW do I add pictures to my posts ? I only know how to insert links to other pages etc but I don't know to make them appear here !!!
Same goes for Youtube Videos.. how do I do this ? 
Posted by: Sollesnes Dec 7 2010, 06:53 PM
You need to click "addReply" instead of "fastReply", and there will be an upload box under the reply box
For Youtube embedding, there is an embedlink under the youtube videos
And awesome entry Neilzsz

Hahaha.... you Do realise how cold it is ????
Plus I might get the sack if I start behaving THAT unhinged !!
Posted by: Mudbone Dec 10 2010, 05:31 AM
No photoshop here Daniel
Its just a slow shutter speed trick. All you need to do this is a dark room, a tripod, a flame, and a slow shutter speed, I used a 30 second shutter speed. It will take you a few tries to get it right, because you can't see what you're writing, and you're doing it backwards. But once you get it the results are pretty cool

Kris Gives 2 in 1 Lesson!!
Whammy Bar Screams/Crazy Face Lesson!
Not only does Kris, founder of GMC, give awesome guitar lessons; he also gives lessons on how students can make the craziest faces while playing guitar! Featured here is Kris's http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/kris-ug-lessons/ (Lesson 12) and student Brandon Burch (thefireball). Kris demonstrates the importance of making the best faces to complement your guitar solos, rhythms, and guitar effects. GMC rules because of awesome teachers such as he. We are not sure if "thefireball" was experiencing pain, sadness, or excitement in this picture, but one thing's for sure:
GMC ROCKS THE HOUSE!!

GMC is a place where i everyday can come and learn something new. I can write on the forum and except to get a very friendly reply from anywhere in the world. I have meet so many people from all over the world who shares the same interests as i do.
There is no other place like GMC on the web, I always look forward the go to my computer and check out if anything new has happened here.
Posted by: Nielzsz Dec 13 2010, 02:36 PM
Nice one supersize!

Hey Bogdan,
Are montages allowed? I want to know if i can put two pictures together.Here is an example:
Posted by: Sentenced Dec 13 2010, 05:05 PM
Yes! I am gonna post my entry in about 5 hours. Sorry for the late entry. I hope thats okay.
Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Dec 13 2010, 05:09 PM

YES! Sounds like a good idea!
It's ok! Looking forward to your entry!
Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Dec 13 2010, 10:06 PM
Bump! ) Send pictures guys only 1 day left!
Posted by: Sentenced Dec 14 2010, 12:28 AM
Ok this is my entry...
I did this with the help of my girlfriend.
First of all the thing i like about GMC most: The field of musicianship it covers is huge. You can learn to shred on the electric guitar or play flamenco on your classic guitar. But it offers more than just guitar lessons: Even every other instruments that are commonly played in a band have their own lessons. There are instructors for Bass, Drums, Keyboard and Singing as well! Over the top all instructors are nice persons who like to help out and talk to their students. Its a great place to be around and an awesome source for every band because everybody can learn here.
The first picture shows what i described above as the best and is my favorite choice of the different ideas, which i post here as well without a particular order.
The second picture shows that playing guitar can be sometimes a pain too if you have no help like GMC...
The third picture uses the language of chords and metal, i hope you all get it...
One of the reasons why we learn to play guitar is shown at the fourth picture. Some photoediting in here. Not sure if its too much. If so just ignore it.
The last picture is a silly joke i hope you can laugh about.

Hi guys
This is my entry
GMC rocks your socks! \m/
First off,I'd like to thank Kris for having created GMC-a perennial source of knowledge and guitar lessons.
No Kris=No GMC (you will find out why from the picture)
A few months back, I was looking for some guitar lessons on Youtube and I stumbled across Kris' sweep picking lesson.
Based on how the video started,I wasn't expecting much.How wrong I was! Not only was the teaching good,I enjoyed the humour as well.I started watching more videos and came to know about GMC and i decided to check it out.
From the moment I joined GMC,I knew that it HAD to be the best place online to learn guitar.I found wayy more than what I had
expected.The best thing about GMC is its community All the members are here for the same reason-GUITAR .This is by far the
best online community i've been a part of.Everyone is really friendly here at GMC.Prompt replies to questions,excellent advice etc.
Honestly,I pity those who haven't found GMC yet.It is something you CAN'T miss out on!
So lets spread the word and take GMC to the rest of the world.
Hint: Look at the pic upside down
Hope you guys like it
Posted by: Fran Dec 14 2010, 01:04 PM
Wow awesome new entries guys, love them
Posted by: Sentenced Dec 14 2010, 01:11 PM
Thanks guys. Great to be in this fun competition.
@Vaidya
Cool Idea! And you are right, we have to thank kris for starting all this.

Excellent photo Vaidya !!!

We Guitars Rock our Socks too!!
Yes that's right, we guitars rock too! It's Xmas and my guitar player has been playing for hours straight! And we love the music he plays, we love to be played this way, it rocks!
I'm not sure what my guitar player's name is... Some say he nows two facts about girls and they're both wrong, but all I know, he's called the Shrig. Just recently I, as a guitar, found out who was causing this major rise of playing hours in Shrig's behaviour. He joined GMC! I heard Kris jelling through his room many times and even in Shrig's sleep I hear him whisper "Kristofer help me, GuitarTube says I suck!". He got so into it, he used his creativity to make a tower of guitars instead of a Xmas tree! It's crazy, I know...
As guitars, me and my brother Acoustico love to make some good music, to feel the music, and that's definately what happens when Shrig starts playing. He learned to improvise and use his feeling, which was all made possible by the great GMC community, who helped him all along. Therefor we can say:
GMC is the only online guitar tuition site where you learn to put the feeling in your music!
GMC even Rocked My Socks Off!!
