hey all. just wanted to shoot this out there, not sure if it's possible to do, but i'd find it convienent.

i think we can all admit GMC is getting pretty huge, and we get more updates nearly every day. it's gotten so good, i seriously doubt we'll ever "run out" of lessons to do. kudos to Kris and the rest of the staff/instructors.

when viewing lessons by "genre" (shred, metal, exercises, etc) it can sometimes be a little tedious going through all the pages worth of lessons we have in each category. currently, i think the lessons are sorted via how recent they are.

my question is:

would it be possible to sort lessons another way? like, persay, via "difficulty?" i know the difficulty rating is just a very rough idea of how hard a lesson is, but when i'm searching for random lessons to do i often look for something with a difficulty i think i can handle (example, for me, i look for stuff with difficulty 1-6). if we could hit a "sort" button while browsing lessons in their respective genres, it'd make things much easier!

i'm sure newer memebers / less experienced guitarists will find this highly useful, it would it make it very very easy for them to find lessons of easier difficulty!

what do you guys think? good idea? or unneccesary?

if it isn't possible, i'm totally cool with it, GMC has already exceeded all my expections for less then 10 bucks a month.

PS: i realize we have the sample lesson planner on the front page. i appericate / use it quite often. this is just another idea.

I was thinking the same some weeks ago. For me it's a good idea. Let's see what Kris says

For me it's a good idea, there are plenty of lessons, and for I check only lessons from 1 to 6 as well, that could be easier to find. Some guys have suggested me lots of lessons which are pretty interesting but I didn't find myself while making the search!
so, looking forward for news

Sorry, maybe I understand you wrong, but just go to the video search thingie on the right of the page, when you're on the main page. Then click advanced search, there's a dropdown menu asking you on what criteria you want to seach and it's also possible to sort on difficulty.

I support this, but I would rather take it to completely new level of sorting - to enable to sorts lessons directly - not trough search, but when listing.

Also, I woul like to see the dificulty rating INSIDE of that lesson too:) cos sometimes, I pick them randomly and dunno how dificult it is:D (even though I can decide myself, if it is hard or not.. still I would like this..)
