Well.. Some of them even now want us, to post our recordings - the extra work for them would be, that after listening, they will rank it from 1 to 5 points. Is this such a big stretch? I dont think, there will be a thousand headed crowd on uploads forum from them day by day.. I guess, that around 200 pepole would participate - say that 8 "judges/instructors" (thats minimal number IMO..) would be there, so thats like 30 uploadings with lenght around 45 sec - and number of uploading per capita can be limited and also - do you finish more than 1 lesson per two weeks on level, that you can upload it? Especially at those harder ones, it takes quite some time:)
Easier lessons takes less time to do - but, as I said, members, that would get Advanced level can be allowed to rate non-rated/beginner uploads:) But its on instructor.. none of them said their opinion yet:( This post has been edited by Jakub Luptovec: Jan 3 2008, 11:28 PM -------------------- my youtube account with riffs and ideas: https://www.youtube.com/user/Phoenygzus

There are two possible solutions - the points from easier lessons would be divided - if there were not enough lessons on corresponding level (say you want to get from beg/int to int, and there is not enough beg/int lessons for you).. or harder lessons points could be multiplied...
or Say you would need 50 points for every promotion - but points of correspondingly difficult lesson.. Its hard to explain (Yngwie???), but this can be simply solved This post has been edited by Jakub Luptovec: Jan 3 2008, 11:35 PM -------------------- my youtube account with riffs and ideas: https://www.youtube.com/user/Phoenygzus

Firstly, we need those opinions, then I will take a week or two and think it all over and try to bring an solution - if Kris and Instructors will be for it:)
Now, its just an idea and I want to discuss an idea - especially with the ones, who will take the most heat - Instructors:) Its quarter past 1 A.M. and I get up to school at 6 A.M. so I rather go to bed lol :-D Sweet dreams :-D -------------------- my youtube account with riffs and ideas: https://www.youtube.com/user/Phoenygzus

I can see how this idea could be motivating and fun, if done right.
The problem is that making a ranking could turn GMC into a competition. And music is heart, soul, "pride and joy"!... but not a competition. Just my 2 cents. -------------------- Guitars:

Very good point imo. I don't think grading us would be a good move. Generally you know whether or not you're playing an exercise right and if you need further feedback the instructors are very responsive. I could be wrong, but this could turn into people just wanting to be graded to show off and say: "ha, I have 'advanced' next to my name". Agree. We(instructors) are doing our best to give all constructive feedbacks,advices and comments on any uploaded file,specially if it's some of the lessons. Rankings,dunno,might be nice,can't tell for sure -------------------- Youtube

I would say - no rankins, maybe some general tips how hard the lesson is.

Well... the same can be told about GMC bands and the idea of band war.. And those tags like "I am member of advanced GMC band.." But I agree, that this can be risky thing and can harm GMC, if not done properly:)
Anyway - since most of you (especially instructors - on which the strain would be inflicted) are against, I think we can close this thread:) Thanks for feedback:) -------------------- my youtube account with riffs and ideas: https://www.youtube.com/user/Phoenygzus

i agree that music itself isnt a competition but sometimes competition brings out the best in people and gives them another reason to try harder. aslong as the competition stays friendly i think that the quality of some peoples playing would rise... however it would have to be closly moderated as some people may take it too seriously.
there are pros and cons to this idea and if thought out thoroughly it could become a successful addition to GMC. it would however give the forums more of an RPG feel lol.
