My first time doing a poll, hope it works ...

Do you feel we need areas of this board that only GMC members can access and share guitar techniques such as tabs, videos and other information?

We do pay to be a member and why not have more reasons to be a member.

Please post your responses and ideas on this subject, thanks

Hey maybe you got the point in it! I voted for YES!

I'd say yes only if it is one part of the forums and not the whole thing. Reason being is that looking through and seeing how helpful people were on the forums is one of the reasons i decided to sign up.

I agree here. One part of the forums that is just for the members could be a good idea. But is there any reason why you feel we need this? What would this "members only" area of the forums be used for?

I like the idea for uploads and stuff. I'm a pretty private guy and would much rather have the clips I upload for commenting and stuff be viewable my the community and not the entire internet. I'm worried that I'll be on train in Pakistan and some guy will come up to me and say "Hey! You're the shitty sweeping guy from GMC!!" and then throw rocks at me.

That will teach you to show your face on the net for the world to see

All kidding aside, I think that maybe very limited access like to the free licks and maybe view the topics in the forum but members only have access.

That way the site encourages and draws more members. more members means more revenue. More revenue means more teachers. And more teachers means a wider variety of lessons and topics.

just my 2cents

As I was hoping, everyone is naming most of the reasons I was thinking this was a good idea, I have hours of original tabs I would love to share with players that are here for the same reason I am. But I would rather not give it to everybody that comes by.
And no, I did not mean the whole board be private just certain areas, thanks all

I voted yes, but I there should only be a few areas.

leedbreak contacted me about this - and I thought it was a great idea for the reasons you mention. I suspect many people don't feel completely comfortbale uploading stuff to the public. So I think we will have a closed sub-board to the uploads board.
