There are many GMC users lurking around the GMC lesson archive, without really benefitting from all the knowledge in the forum.
Since all GMC community members say the same thing: "In the forum is where progress & learning really happens" - we decided to prepare a little something for all incognito GMC:ers out there:
Introduce yourself NOW - and get 15, handpicked, exclusive KILLER riffs sent to you!
Go ahead now!
i love this idea, the gmc community is a great place to be, good vibes from everyone, and i would love to see it grow even more
Very good idea, and killer motivational prize - these riffs are awesome

This is easily the best guitar forum on the internet so I decided to actually post something today. I arrived to the homepage to discover GMC is offering riffs for saying hello. Awesome. Here goes...HELLLLLLOOOOOOOOO G-M-C!!!!!!!
Hi GMC Team,
just recently joined the site, email sent~!
Hi GMCers I'm back and ready to play, have a nice day! \m/

I might need to re-introduce myself after being away for so long, hahaha.
Hello everyone! It is good to be back.
Hehehe! Welcome back man
Hello to all. This is a great site. After months of visiting various sites and not really knowing what to start with, I think I've finally found the answer. Introduction done. Greetings to All

Really great site.

Hello folks,
i was away for long time. My first Name is Andrei. Currently i am playing in a band called
https://www.facebook.com/alientothesystem. I have
a lot of guitars, but my main guitar is an Agile 8 String right now. I would like to get my chops
up to the next level, learn more about composing and do a better job when we are recording
our next album. I hope the subscription to GMC gives me some motivation, which i used to
have and i can finally start to shred a little
I wish you all some heavy Christmas and big Hello to all the great people around here!
Hey Andrei - are you from Romania, by any chance? I would be delighted to help out with anything you might have to ask and I could also provide the support in our common language if that be the case What are your favorite techniques and which artists do you like listening to?
@Bodgdan
Thanks, i am fine at the moment, but maybe i come back at you later. Thanks for your great Bass lessons btw!
@Cosmin Lupu
Hey, sorry but i am originally from Russia, but i am living in Germany now. My former bandmate originates from Romania! I am very interested in modern progressive Metal like TesseracT, Animals as Leaders and so on. I watched your Lesson about Tesseract - thats killer man! I will try to learn it. Are there specific lessons for 8 String Guitars on GMC? Currently i am trying to develop my riffing in odd signatures, get some sweep picking going and increase my overall speed. I will definitely appreciate any help in this regard. In the moment i am working on the "In Flames Style" Lesson of Gabriel to get me going
Great to be here, you guys are an inspiration!
Hey buddy!
Glad to know you like these bands - I am HUGE Tesseract fan and I am wearing a Tesseract T-shirt just as I am writing this
I don't think there are any 8 strings lessons here on GMC, but there are certainly 7 string lessons and baritone/low tuning lessons which you can surely benefit from - check these out to begin with:

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to GMC. It's a great site and it's helped me improve already!
I just started my subscription after many years of watching your sample/ free videos.
I am 42 and have been playing since I was about 16. I seem to get very involved in guitar playing for 3-5 years then stop due to one thing or another. I came back to it about 4 years ago after a hiatus of a few yars and have began to play at a level I have never since reached. I think this is due in part to the internet and all the options/styles so easily at one' disposal. I've jumped around from genres all my life and am currently in love with technical death metal, prog metal, neo-classical, Bach, and soul jazz (Melvin Sparks, George Benson, and of course GRANT GREEN). So, I would like to see more lessons concerning this style and less concentrating on the shitty bands from the 80s and 90s. The metal that is being made now is far superior to the metal I listened to when I was a teenager.
Please give us more lessons on the styles of Necrophagist, Nile, Animals as Leaders, Scale the Summit, Obscura, Robert Fripp, Adrian Belew, 2-handed tapping for rhythms, Gojira, and Cynic. Less blues lessons! Nearly all the lesson sites online have a gazillion lessons on the blues already. The death metal lessons you do have already are awesome along with the lessons concentrating on styles that are adjacent to particular parts of the world, for instance, Brazilian Fusion.
I have seen a lot of great videos on sweep picking, but not so much on Sweep Picking Mechanics. For example, what technique will give me the fastest and cleanest results? I dislike the lessons where the instructor just plays the lesson without explaining any of the theory or mechanics of the riff/lick, etc.
I also love that on this site I can upload what I am working on and see what others are working on. I wish you would present this aspect on the front page of the website and maybe once a week feature either a recording or video by a student. I think it would also be ideal for the site for more of the instructors to be more brash with their personalities to help reveal to the world how awesome this site is. I have found no where else on-line that promotes such extreme styles of music.
(The site as a whole probably needs a design overhaul, but that's just my opinion.)
Oh yeah, love the Hone Your Tone segment in the forums. Being an older guy than the rest of you, one of my challenges recently is learning to use my laptop as a "recording studio." I'm constantly blown away by great sounding recordings made by guitarists from their laptop.
Hi mate! Welcome to GMC!! Thanks for all your suggestions, request and comments regarding the site and our work here. We are permanently working to make things better so these kind of feedback it totally welcome!
I hope that you enjoy the site. Let me know if you need any help with your practice or setting up your recording home studio!
Thanks a lot of the detailed feedback clashchords!
Right now we are a little bit lost in a site overhaul which has been going on for two years. The goal is to relaunch everything on a new technical platform which will allow us to add new functionalities (and improve the current ones). Unfortunately it has been delayed in ways I had not foreseen and development of the live site has been suffering because of this delay.
Having said this - there are still things we can change without waiting for the new platform. For example community activities and lesson direction, so once again feedback is very appreciated.
Hi GMC people. I'm Mark and I just joined here a week or so ago. I'm 47 and first started playing guitar while I was at school. I played a lot back then, but always tried to play stuff that was far too hard for me and didn't really get anywhere. I gave up for years and years when life got in the way, but have just come back to playing and it's GREAT to have everything graded, so I know exactly which lessons to choose. I've had to drop right back to level 2, but feel like I'm improving really fast already, so thanks to all of you fantastic instructors!
My equipment is all pretty awful at the moment, so I'm not sure if I'll be uploading any recordings yet, but I love that aspect of it too and am looking forward too getting some feedback.
Thanks again and I look forward to interacting with some great people/guitarists here.
Hello Mark! Welcome to GMC!!
Please count with me if you need feedback about your progress and also if you need lessons suggestions and help with your guitar routines.
Enjoy the site and the 15 riffs!
I don't need to go through all that to introduce myself.
Pls allow me to introduce myself, I been playing guitar for 4 years on and off, I started playing guitar in the eighties for 2 years then had to stop.
Picked it back up again 4 years ago..
I love metal, blues and anything I can play that sounds good..
I have an American PRS CUSTOM 24, but I tend to play my fender strat with an eleven rack .
That's all to it. Looking forward to meeting you all

You not only get the 15 Riffs. You also get the chance to join our collabs, bootcamps, workouts, and mentoring programs (there are open spots to join mine, Gab's Army).
Hey all,
Just came back after a 10 year hiatus
Nice to see that this community is stronger than ever!
Hi guys, I'm new here and have been learning a few lessons a day.
its really good to spend time practising small licks and lessons than my usual 30 mins of doodling.
I've been playing guitar for about 20 years and I am always looking to improve my playing.
my favourite mode at the moment is lydian.
I have my grade 8 in guitar.
