Hi Guys cool.gif

As an instructor it's really cool to see members using the REC function. For those of you who have recently joined GMC and are not sure of its function.. REC is a feature which is there for members to upload their versions of GMC lessons. For example, if I was learning this (one of my favourites, btw !) then I could go to REC, start a post and upload my video of me playing that lesson and get feedback and a grade from the instructors.

The whole point of REC is to encourage members to share their progress and get some constructive feedback that should help them focus on areas of technique that they may not have been aware of, so that it inspires an ongoing process of improvement and study.

A REC take doesn't have to be perfect.. and you don't have to wait until you've 100 % nailed a lesson before uploading either. Even if you don't 'pass' the grading poll, the feedback and constructive criticism is the valuable part of the process and it is that aspect that will be the most useful to you in your journey or improving on the guitar.... so I hope you guys will feel more inclined to just jump in and go for it !

Anyway, that's my perspective but it will be interesting to know what your thoughts are behind using REC .. do you feel like you have to pass the grade with a perfect take or is the process of submitting the take and getting constructive feedback the most important aspect ? smile.gif
