QUOTE (Andrew Cockburn @ Jan 3 2008, 11:01 PM)  How about if I post a recording of Bb Beginner in a few days to your forum, would that cheer you up?? Ahh,NOW we're talking!!  QUOTE (jacmoe @ Jan 3 2008, 10:09 PM) Am I missing something here?  I mean, I see 10 levels ..  You're right,there are 10 levels but me and some instructors as well are spliting lesson into 3 parts sometimes,Beginner,Intermediate and Advanced. It's a lot more easier to rate lesson in 10 steps but it's hilarious to make 10 versions of same lesson

QUOTE (Philippe @ Jan 3 2008, 07:05 AM) Was Hendrix an advanced player? In any case, he was not that fast, didn't do much tapping or sweeping. Most of the most famous guitarists are not fast players. To me an advanced player is someone that has a good musical knowledge, can perform well with other musicians, has a decent technique, a good repertoire... I found this school syllabus and I think it gives a nice level scale. Maybe if i was living in the UK I'd take their test in order to get more motivation to practice. http://www.rockschool.co.uk/rsl/sites/6/do...labus_guide.pdf Interesting ratings they have there - as for me I'm a solid four according to them (except in the sight reading department) and I have a lot of the stuff mentioned in level 5 down. In terms of GMC lessons I can play most level 4 lessons, but the level 5 lessons are often too tough - though I can do a few of them pretty well (and I have high standards so when I say I can play them I mean I can play them  )QUOTE (Goliath @ Jan 3 2008, 09:43 AM) Now, being the egotistical sap that I am, I didn't bother reading anyone's posts and just jumped right in with a reply to Andrew's original question. What if you rate it against different criteria for different facets of playing. You could represent this graphically if you wished or have it be a sum of parts type deal. Take 5 criteria to rate a lesson, for arguments sake, I chose speed, technicality (string skips, all down strokes, sweeping,etc), feel (vibrato, bends), and timing (odd time signature or straight forward to the click?), and since I couldn't think of anything, I chose Cowbell. So while "Don't Fear the Reaper" would rank 3 in Cowbell, it would maybe score a 2 in speed, 2 in technicality, 1 in timing, etc etc. I spared no expense on this post and generated this graphic as a prototype for ranking lessons. You would go out each arm to whatever degree deemed appropriate then connect the dots and shade the center. Whatever color you shade the center reflects the genre of music the lesson is reflecting. If you're wondering what piece of software I used to generate it, it's the ultra advanced photo editing software/graphic design called "Paint". Without further ado: I think this is a great idea. The chart and everything. --------------------  Gear: Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster, Gibson '67 RI Flying V, Mesa Boogie F-30 112 combo, crazy pedals. |
