GMC Forum _ MTP (Pedja) _ Important Mtp Update!
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Sep 28 2009, 04:49 PM
Guys check out this post by Kristofer http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?s=&showtopic=30835&view=findpost&p=427694
From October if you don't have GMC paid subscription you will not be able to participate in MTP. I hope those of you who don't have it will resolve it very soon as end of the month is getting near. I would hate to loose any of you because of 7,8$ a month

Actually it's $ 30 or something a month.
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Oct 1 2009, 12:06 PM
Aw I didn't know that
Still I think for even that price its worth subscribing with MTP Lessons Collaborations REC program...
Posted by: edguy Oct 1 2009, 12:14 PM
Well i have an active subscription so there should be no problem at all 
By the way to work with you (for whatever i pay for gmc, i don't know it right now) is such an big oppotunity to become a better guitarist so it's worth the money!!

Another very important MTP update!
Check it out http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=31054
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Oct 9 2009, 06:05 PM
Ok guys. I will lock all your threads now and open new ones. We will switch to new system with weekly assignments (3 assignments this month). From next month we will also incorporate REC submission in your assignments so stay tuned.
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Oct 11 2009, 11:09 AM
Guys I will open your new threads with weekly assignments tomorrow. Thank you for being patient, I have been very busy with some weeding celebrations I have been attending in last 3 days.
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Oct 12 2009, 05:01 PM
Guys 13 assignments have been posted so far. Andy (wrk), Andru (coffeeman) have stopped with their GMC activities. Sondre does not have time to dedicate to MTP program and is stepping out. That makes it 2 more assignments left. I will post those by the end of the day. Please do your best to do the work as if you don't there will be consequences and not very fortunate ones.
Thanks guys,
Pedja

Make sure you work on your assignments. I will be back very late tonight and will check your threads at that time.
Pedja

All 2nd assignments posted and updated guys. I gave you liberty to choose your own maximum tempo for each of the exercises (sweep picking). Make sure you record audio and/or video and submit it by deadline.
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Oct 30 2009, 09:45 AM
All 3rd assignments posted. Get to work guys and let me know if you got any questions.
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Nov 4 2009, 12:58 PM
Guys I owe you one huge apology!
Solle, Yoav, Pierre, Zen and Filipe... I thought you were allowed to start from November to study with me. Unfortunately rules state that you guys can join my MTP program from December. It was my bad and fault, I hope you forgive me. I am very happy that you already got to your 1st assignments and did awesome. It shows that you are very enthusiastic about whole process, I love that. Can't wait to start working more in depth with you guys. Unfortunately due to rules that were announced last night, I have to close your threads now and open new ones for you in December!
Keep in touch over chat and PM, in the meanwhile follow what I am doing with other members - it can benefit you as well.
Pedja

Pedja, there is no need for any apology. Completely understand. You're a great teacher. These things happen in any business..... Will wait. Cheers ..
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Nov 4 2009, 05:51 PM
Thank you for understanding Zen. Look forward working with you in December.

It's no sweat Pedja!
Thank you Pierre.
Guys, since only 4 of you completed your 3 assignments for October, I will post now your assignment for November. Remember that we have to do 4 assignments + REC submission for November.
Good luck and keep working steady like you have so far.
For all the rest of you guys, you won't be able to get any more assignments until you complete all 3 assignments from October's thread. Once you are done with them, I will lock those threads and open November ones for you as well. I suggest you really hurry up since its 5th of November already and you don't want to be late with work again...
Let me know if you have some questions.
Pedja
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Nov 7 2009, 01:12 PM
First two assignments posted for Angelo, Angel and Frederik. Matt quit GMC last night and is also quitting MTP. For everybody else, you need to complete October assignments in order to move on in November.
Pedja

Posted by: Pedja Simovic Dec 31 2009, 05:34 PM

Best wishes to you for the new year. Lets hope its a good one for us all.
Thank you Tony. May all the wishes come true for you in this year my friend!
Happy new year, all the best to you my friend and may all the wishes come true in this year
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Jan 2 2010, 02:07 PM
Guys later tonight I will close your December and open January MTP threads. For those of you that completed 4 assignments and REC you are all set to continue. For those that didn't make sure you do it asap so that I we can continue working in January.
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Jan 3 2010, 10:34 PM
Guys all your 1st assignments are posted right now. You will notice that you all got some sort of Triads lesson as 1st assignment. There are several reasons why I choose this as your 1st assignment (for all of you!):
1) We get to continue with working on Harmony and Theory as well as chord and fretboard knowledge.
2) By learning this level 3 lesson and making video for it, we also cover REC and get it out of the way.
3) By doing all this in your 1st assignment we then get extra time for your future assignments. This means that some of you might be doing more theory and harmony, some might like ear training, some might want to work on technique, some might learn lessons on the site - you get the idea!
I set the deadline as 10th of January. I hope you can all learn the lesson by then, record it and submit it in your threads.
Talk to you in your threads, take care all !
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Jan 12 2010, 05:11 PM
Guys your 2nd assignments for MTP will be posted some time tomorrow. I hope you will be all done with your 1st assignment by then!
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Jan 14 2010, 01:43 AM
Guys your 2nd assignment is posted! You will find that you all got the same assignment. The beauty of this assignment is priceless I allow you to choose one (or more) topics which you will elaborate fully and tell me everything you know. In a way this assignment is actually encouraging you to become instructors as you are basically teaching me from your current knowledge in this assignment. It will be extra interesting as I gave you 3 days to complete it! I would really love it if you all made this deadline, if you don't I will extend it by day or two more. Once you submit your work (essay of a sort), I will review it and tell you what I feel was great and if something was lacking I will fill in the gaps for you either by asking you specific questions or directing you to some post of mine.
Look forward to your work guys, good luck !

Guys new chat tonight around 11:45 pm Serbian time zone. Hope to see you in there!
Posted by: Boson Jan 24 2010, 07:29 PM
I still cannot get chat to work on my new computer. For some reason windows 7 will not allow java to load.
Anyone out there know why?
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Jan 26 2010, 03:46 PM
Anyone out there know why?
Tony I had problems like that but they got resolved when I logged out and then logged back into the GMC. Also try updating latest version of java and flash. Since you have Windows 7 I would assume that is not an issue with your computer but you never know
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Feb 2 2010, 12:13 AM
Guys I am in the chat room right now, if you are around join me http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/chat/
Nobody joined the chat room I was there for about 15 minutes. See you guys tomorrow I hope .
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Feb 4 2010, 02:59 AM
Guys I just came back from the gig... Tomorrow if you are around I will do the chat in the afternoon GMT+1 is my time zone so somewhere around 4pm or 5pm sounds doable. I will also post a new thread in theory and harmony board from which you will apply it to your 1st assignment in February. Speaking of assignments, I will also open your new threads tomorrow so make sure you subscribe to your threads for frequent updates!
Posted by: Boson Feb 4 2010, 08:17 AM
Hope the gig went well Pedja
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Feb 7 2010, 08:19 PM
The gig was great , thanks Tony

Posted by: Pedja Simovic Feb 10 2010, 12:04 PM
Guys 4 more days until the deadline for your first two assignments in February!
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Feb 15 2010, 12:43 AM
Guys I am sorry I haven't been on site for last couple of days. I have been feeling sick, some sort of flew or something, headache all day long resting relaxing, I can't focus on anything yet alone to sit in front of computer! I will do my best to post your new assignments tomorrow and respond to all your posts!
Posted by: ruben_mcn Feb 15 2010, 12:55 AM
NO problm man .. get well quick =)
Posted by: CathShadow Feb 15 2010, 12:44 PM
+1... being sick is never fun.
Posted by: Keilnoth Feb 15 2010, 02:20 PM
No problem Pedja ! Hope you'll be well soon !
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Feb 18 2010, 04:32 PM
Thanks a lot guys. I have been feeling better for past two days, I will post your REC assignment later tonight including your last assignment as well !
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Mar 1 2010, 02:55 AM
Guys I am down with the flu really bad, hope to recover in next 3-4 days. I am sure you heard and read new MTP rules. Needless to say I am extremely sad and unhappy with new rules. I am really hopping things will change asap as I don't see any good in you guys pausing for 3 months and doing nothing. Lets hope things resolve very soon. Feel free to write me in private message or anywhere on my board.

NEW MTP PHASE!
Guys I just wanted to let you know that I will be available to mentor for new MTP phase starting in June and ending on 1st of September. If you are interested in studying with me, please contact Chris Evans http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showuser=2860
Posted by: stratman79 May 17 2010, 07:10 PM
does that include me too?
Posted by: Pedja Simovic May 17 2010, 08:21 PM
I am not sure because I think it is for new set of students. Talk to Chris Evans and see what he says about it!
Posted by: Pedja Simovic May 19 2010, 03:40 PM
I talked to Chris Evans and was told that you won't be able to continue along with Staffay since you are currently enrolled in MTP. This will be for people that took 3 month brake from MTP or were never involved in one.
I will post your assignments and will give you open time to finish them all, doesn't have to be by 1st of June!
Posted by: Pedja Simovic May 31 2010, 02:26 PM
Guys, I will start posting your 1st assignments tomorrow. In the meanwhile if you are around tonight, I will be doing video chat from 10pm GMT+1 timezone.
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Jun 3 2010, 09:54 PM
Guys your 1st assignment for June are posted in your corresponding threads! You will notice that deadline is 9th of June for all your 1st assignments. If you feel you will need extra time, please let me know and we can work something out. Never hesitate to ask any questions in your threads or simply visit video chats and ask me those questions in chat. I will be more than happy to go over any of your assignments live in video!
Hope that following 3 months will do a lot of great things for your guitar playing and musical improvement overall.
Pedja
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Jun 10 2010, 12:07 PM
Just couple of things guys...
Very happy how you did your 1st assignments. Deadline was good for you, some did their work way before the deadline and did more than I asked but the point is you did it which is great. Today I will be in the chat room at 6pm GMT+1 timezone. Try to make it, come in and lets talk about your next assignment. I will try to post your 2nd assignments today but I have to meet with my gf soon then I will do chat with you and after that I have to go to do a gig starting at 9pm ! It will be quite a stretch today but I promise I will do my best to post all assignments (need about an hour or more to do it all). So stop by in the chat 6pm GMT+1 and we can work out assignments on the spot today!
Pedja
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Jun 10 2010, 05:10 PM
Video chat starting in about 20 minutes. Try your best to attend as I will talk about your 2nd assignments today!
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Jun 11 2010, 03:09 PM
Video chat today at 6:30pm GMT+1 guys!
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Jun 12 2010, 07:47 PM
All your 2nd assignments are posted! Deadline is 19th of June but try to finish it before that date
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Jun 19 2010, 12:37 PM
Guys, couple of short announcements.
- Video Chat will happen today at 6:30pm GMT+1 timezone. I will be playing you some interval examples, harmonic and melodic way, ascending and descending. We will be doing tests with 10 examples each. If we have free time we might do 20+ examples on a test we shall see. For those of you that would like to improve your ear training, please attend.
- 3rd and 4th assignment!
I will post your remaining June assignments most likely today (after chat probably!). For those of you that haven't completed your 2nd assignment please do so as we have reached the deadline. You will have by the end of June to complete assignments 2 and 3 which is almost 2 weeks (more than enough time!). Feel free to let me know of REC lesson you would be interested in doing (in your threads).
Pedja
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Jun 20 2010, 02:47 AM
Guys your 3rd and 4th assignments are posted! Deadline for those is 30th of June. I hope you will be all able to complete them by then. If it is too much work for you by that date let me know and I will alter the assignment(s) for you. If it is too little work, I will give you some more work. Idea is to complete everything by the deadline so that we can have a full July to do it one assignment per week basis.
Video chat happening tomorrow (today) at 6:30pm GMT+1. I hope you will be able to attend as I will be doing more interval tests. For those of you that were in today saw how helpful it was and challenging at the same time. I plan to do 5 more chat sessions by the end of June, hopefully you can attend all of them and improve your ear training.
Pedja
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Jun 24 2010, 04:24 PM

Guys you got 2 more days until the deadline! How are assignments going?
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Jul 2 2010, 04:26 PM
Guys I am still waiting from some of you to submit your remaining assignment(s) in June. Tomorrow I will start opening July threads and posting assignments. For those of you who don't complete June work, I am not able to open July thread before you finish all the work. Do your best, step it up a bit and lets continue our work in July soon !
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Jul 5 2010, 03:36 PM
All 1st assignments for July are uploaded ! You guys have 12th as deadline. If you do your assignments before that I will post your 2nd assignment before 12th!!!
There is some of you that haven't yet completed June work. For you I can't open July thread as you first have to complete June's work. Try to get to it asap as time is running out in July!
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Jul 30 2010, 01:12 AM
Guys, those of you who haven't completed their MTP for June or July, you got 2 more days left before we start last month of MTP. Hope you will submit your assignment(s) by the deadline.
Pedja
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Aug 2 2010, 04:52 PM
Guys I will post your new AUGUST/JULY threads later tonight. Some of you might get all the assignments while some will go one by one. Either way make sure that you complete all your work by 30th of August as this is official ending date for current MTP.
Thank you,
Pedja
Posted by: Pedja Simovic Aug 3 2010, 04:11 PM
Guys all your MTP threads are opened with complete assignments until the end of August. After that MTP phase is over as you know so I wish you all the best with future work and studies
