Hey GMC'ers,
I'm making the first GMC educational poster. I'll will upload it when I finished and everybody on GMC can download it and print on a poster with online photoservice (for example www.foto.com )
I'm still looking for a cool picture of a guitarneck with all the notes on it
I didn't found a nice picture on google yet.
If you have something like that on your machine. Please upload it.

very cool idea for the poster
I'm all for it!
It would be nice to have all often used info on one nice poster.
Cool idea. would be really helpful.
Be sure to look for images free of copyright before putting GMC logo on
That sounds like a really cool idea man. I cant wait!
Sounds like a great idea, man! Looking forward to seeing it.
This is a great idea - I have been meaning to download a picture with the notes and scales but have never got around to finding one. Seems to be an absolute perfect fit to the website - your future ideas would be most welcome!
i have an idea about the poster, I have some kind of a table of keys that I've made some years ago to help me memorize them all, here's the post that I've made some while ago in the forum, hope you find it useful.
thx everyone. I shall finished in my spare time.
Nice list Ivan, i'll include it on the poster
awesome idea..
maybe you could add the circle of fifths also?
edit: something like this..
Doubt anybody will choose the second option in the poll
Bring it
Really cool idea!!
I support it 100%
I have a few things taped to my desk as a learning aid (Fretboard etc) so having this as a poster will be a big help, will you publish a proof for a bit of tweaking first?
Awesome idea mate, really cool of you to help others out in your own time like this!
Years ago I used to have all sorts of learning things on my wall - it helped me then and I feel this will help anybody now !
This is a very good idea..Learning poster would be really useful!
Great idea! I might even move the Sonata Arctica flag over my computer to replace it with this poster
This is very useful!
Good idea !
I have notes of the theory lessons too, which I look into every now and then to keep remember myself by.
A poster could contribute to that !
Excellent idea!
Cool idea for sure!

you're help is very welcome
Specifications / includes
Great to see U all like the idea. Thx everyone Pio Jr.
To be sure about not breaking any copyrights, you can email me all the diagrams, pics etc. and I'll redraw them in Illustrator you want
edit: Didn't see the poster untill now so nevermind then Looks good so far
first overall impressions.. it's great.. there's a lot of useful information, and i would definately have this hanging on my wall once it's completed.. i like the idea of combining all the scales with their intervals, formulas and notes.. and i love the color of the background and the GMC headline letters.. cool..
----
I am not sure i like the font you are using.. seems too "messy".. it might look better as a poster than on my screen but i would recommend using a "regular" type font that makes it easier to read.. (do *not* use times new roman or arial.. )
the circle of fifths is not completely centered on the guitar.. also, try to align the intervals, formula and notes so they are exactly below eachother..
even further into details.. the fretboards on the left side.. the letters B, D and A have whites in them.. also the fretboard on the right seems too mushy when zoomed in.. perhaps fretboard it too low resolution for this size poster? dont know.
last thing.. the chords.. i like the idea of having them, and they seem to fit nice, but these also seem a bit too low resolution for this size picture.. could it be possible to make these yourself in really high res and then scale them down to fit the poster??
------
I know there's a lot of things on my list, and i hope it doesn't put you down or anything.. this is just what i've seen so far on my monitor (and my monitor is not very good), so it might be a lot better on a real poster.. but this is a really awesome idea and i would love to help you if you need any help.. keep in mind i know jack about photoshop or anything like that..
It seems to me that there is still alot of blanc space to be filled up. I don't have any suggestions right now but I don't think it should remain unused.
Mayby a good idea is to name all the notes with tablature, or some rhytmic examples of any kind (in music notation).
Some other idea is perhaps grouping the chords in a C scale ?
Otherwise, if none of the above, you could still spread the diffrent things better across the poster to get a clearer vieuw.
Just some suggestions, I think you're doing a great job here, and putting in a lot of effort !
I really like the idea and hope I am able to order one soon.
By any chance, I might have missed it, but have you got any idea yet on how big the poster is gonna be ?
Wow, This poster is really shaping up nicely. I'm very excited.
The making of GMC learning poster - take 3
Questions:
Indeed there is a lot empty space for scale or diagram,... Is there anyone with usefull picture on there computer?
Info
So far it's looking good, nice job!
Wow that's so cool!!! I'd definetly download it to make it into a poster!!
looks good very useful info. Possibly arranging it a bit better would look even better. Just a thought!
You really did a great job on the guitarmasterclass.net logo!
Just a thought : Could you change the colors of the notes on the C-scale guitarnecks (the small ones) so they match the colors in the intervals table?
For starters, that would be very helpful, because you'll have a directly linked relationship.
You could apply this to all of the poster, although it might be too much.
Edit : mayby you can change the elements of the poster so the chords get position next to the neck, in the place they are actually played!
Edit 2: Get the 'color system' to work also for chords, so you can immediately see out of which notes a chord exists.
Allright, I'm gonna go to bed now....
