Hi pals,

I am Fernando Arduz from La Paz, Bolivia in South America. It is a real pleasure to belong to this cool guitar players community!

I have been playing the electric guitar for about 12 years, and I like heavy metal, jazz-rock, progressive, blues, etc.

I have a dark green Charvel guitar w/active system, a Line 6 X3 Live, an Acoustic 165 amp, a Digitech HardWire Chorus and cool Chili picoso booster from Catalinbread.

I would say I'm the intermediate/advanced level...any advices to the new guy here????

I really thank all the instructors that sent me welcome messages so far...

Greetings!!!

Fernando Arduz

There are tons of lessons that you can discover just by typing in a key word in the SEARCH bar at the top

To watch the video chats, just click on the GMC CHAT button at the top right corner of the main page and you will enter the chatroom. You will only see video when there is an instructor broadcasting a live video chat. All other times it will just be a black screen but the chat function always works

You can see the chat schedule at the bottom right corner of the main page.. hope that helps !

It looks pretty good so far!!!

Thanks buddy!!

Fernando

hey mate, welcome! Are you also into rhythm playing? What bands do you enjoy listening to?

Welcome aboard Fernando. Here are some of the important features on GMC:

1. REC program (board where members learn GMC lessons, play them, record themselves with webcams, and put it on youtube. Then instructors comment and give grades. Once you go through a number of lessons, your status in the community rises, and you get yourself a title based on the number of lessons you've done and difficulty level)

2. Collaborations (you will find lots of collabs on GMC, audio and video collabs. The idea behind them is to get members to participate in creating songs or playing over backing tracks created by instructors. Later on, instructors comment on the takes, and put video mixes on youtube, where members are featured and present themselves as hard working GMC community figures)

3. Forum (excellent place to share your problems, knowledge, questions or anything at all with the community! Very addictive, since it's all positive energy! smile.gif )

4. GMC Video Chats (click on the GMC banner, and scroll down to check out calendar. Try to participate some video chats - you can learn a lot, and ask questions to instructors in real time! )

5. GMC Scale Generator (generate the patterns for practice and displaying examples and problems to the community)

6. Search Option (be sure to use this, as forum and lesson archive hide some very interesting things! )


If you need any help at all, just let us know!

One of my major interests is rhythm playing...I like Dream Theater, Liquid Tension Xperiment, Guthrie Govan, Frank Gambale, Eric Johnson, Vai, Pat Martino, Pat Meheny...kind of diverse...hahahaha

Thanks for the message.
