Posts: 5.526 Joined: 21-December 06 From: illinois	It has come to my attention as of late, that alot of new members might be missing out on the core principles and ideas that GMC is founded on. By this i mean, when Kris started this site i belive he had a very specific message to get across about how to learn and practice. This is feel might be missed now that we are a content rich site. I belive many new players/members would benifit from listening to Kris's 101 Series first, before movieing onto the rest of the content! I think this is a foundation simply not to be missed!! Not only is it teaching people correct practices but it also explains why things are done a certain way ! And more importantly students will better understand what GMC is all about as a whole package. (I hope this makes sense!! ) I am finding more increasingly, alot of members are confused about how to practice scales and improvise, which is something I learnt very quickly though the 101 lessons. And have no doubt others would. Of course some more advanced players will want to join up and do some more advanced lessons with our other awsome instuctors which is great. But i was thinking that maybe we could highlight the 101 lessons more as a suggested foundation for new members? Maybe as a direct path after beginner lessons.

Advanced or beginner doesn't matter. Check out the 101's and see what Kris tries to tell you. How it started. That's the spirit that attracted me to GMC.

Perhaps we will do it in the future - presenting our quickly growing archive in an easy-to-find format is one of the biggest challenges to gmc right now. There will be lots of changes in the near future which will hopefully make things easier to find. Also when we are finished with the instructor pages (new feature that will present each instructor) - finding each instrcutor's lessons will hopefully be easier!

Oct 27 2007, 12:09 AM	GMC:er Posts: 494 Joined: 8-June 07	Thanks for bringing this up Matt. I was one of the people bombarding the forums with questions, yet few weeks back i understood i needed to visit the 1-0-1 lessons. The main ones are the alt pick, tapping and penatatonic box lessons Are there any others that will specifically help us on improvisation? Kris, youve done a great job on these lessons and theyre the main reason i joined GMC through short 101 lesson adverts. Any plans on making more 1-0-1 lessons in the near future? I think we could use some legato and sweep picking 101 as they specifically with great accuracy point out common mistakes and straighten things out that people mostly do wrong quickly. All thats left from our side is to practice. QUOTE (mattacuk @ Oct 26 2007, 10:04 PM) There all worth doing, but you could start of with Pentatonic 101 1,2 & 3. And I would also recommened "How to practice guitar" and "guitar phrasing" ! I might suggest speed picking before pentatonic as you can practice the boxes properly with speed You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
