Well guys...today is the day, and we all knew it would come.

It's my 5-year anniversary at GMC!

I don't think it is necessary to tell all the GMC stories I could tell, so let me just tell you that I really like this place and even though I do take my timeouts, I will always come back to the forum, the video chats and the rec section.

I have learned many things throughout the years, and surely, I could be much better at the guitar right now. But I also learned what really interests me at playing guitar, and what not.
I am starting out as a singer right now with the help of Cosmin, I have composed some songs that I am proud of in the past with the help of Gabriel and Cosmin, my alternate picking and finger flexibility got much better thanks to Todd and I've got a victim for silly posts on facebook thanks to Ben and I even learned a thing or two about the bass thanks to Bogdan.
I might have taught one or two of you how to spice up your collab takes and you got to "enjoy" some of my lessons in the style of cool german bands, like Tokio Hotel.
I have had many cool chats with some of you guys, have heard about awesome bands I most likely wouldn't know without GMC.
I even met some of you crazy people in real life (and I know some of you are still waiting for video footage of this) and will hopefully meet even more of you in the future.

One thing I haven't learned yet is to keep these posts short

Anyways, I'm looking forward to the next 5 years! The time will come when I'll be more active again, so enjoy the current calm before the storm

See you in the forum or chatroom soon!

Christian aka Gitarrero aka German Guy

and always remember:

the collab isn't over until the german guy uploaded his take!

Congrats on the 5 year mate.I think one of the best things about GMC is how good of a community has.

Here is a nice German beer to another 5 year

Well said !

Heheh time really flies! Congrats on 5 years!

Your collab (dress-up) takes are really awesome, you never know what is awaiting you - I have to turn them on only when there is no one around me

See you around as always

Superb thing to have such a long time at GMC I see many awesome people and awesome guitar fans, students, instructors in here. All this family atmosphere makes this place something special Thanx for being there!

Wow, thanks a lot! I guess you like it so much cause you can relate to most characters in the video...



Come on...I'm not looking for occasions to show off...seriously!
OK, I'm the biggest show-off at GMC. Now it's out there.

Oh, don't get upset Krise Being a showoff is not a bad thing! You are one of the most popular students at GMC - who can compete with that??
