As long as we stay polite and don't rub titles in other peoples faces in the unfriendly manner (as I guess there will be some good natured, friendly teasing ) As if becoming a badass guitarist wasn't enough motivation, this will absolutely make it even more fun to learn lessons ^^ A suggestion for the name could be "The Stairway".. As inspired from the Rock and Roll History Museum's "Guitarway to Heaven" (atleast the Pick of Destiny version of it), which is inspired from Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven? ^^ By the way, I like your system, David ^^ Canis I really like your suggestion for a name but I think we need to maybe stay away from religious thoughts as it may offend some of are brothers and sister around the world that come here. This is just "Guitar Hero" with a real guitar and real playing. So why don't we just call it what it is and that's "GMC Hero!" Well that's my 2 cents You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

You need a clear beginning, a middle, and an end. Look at musical phrases like sentences, and make sure you break them up using punctuation—or space. You pause naturally when conversing, right? If you don't, you'll bore the listener. The same thing will happen with your audience if your solo is one dimensional. You'll wear them out and lose their attention." —Tom Principato

What a pain it is to record yourself. I had no idea who much work it is for the instructors who make all the vids. Hopefully it will get easier for me. So yeah I might have time to participate.

Because one thing is to become a Guitar God of Metal that Lian could be the one who's judging that maybe but another very different is to become a Guitar God of Classical Guitar. So we can make like a program were you have to achive a certain level of different styles let's say: -Reach level 5 in classical guitar -Reach level 4 in fusion guitar -Reach level 6 in metal guitar But in order to get the diploma you master in a specific style like...Rock. So you have to achive level 10 in that style but you also know other styles and the judges in that style make the decitions. That would divide the job among the instructors too, and give a common background to the student of different styles in order to be "more professional" you might say. It's just an idea... I think this could be another topic to talk about (maybe there is a topic related to that and I missed, sorry if it already been talked).

Only instructors can vote. You have a uniform ranking of your take from like 1 to 5 5 perfect 4 excellent 3 average 2 you need to work harder on it 1 unsatisfactory this way it isnt bound to any particular instructor - they can vote as they will you know what I mean? The idea is nice, but we GMCers are so nice, no one will ever rate a number 1 or 2 Andrew, nice idea! My pice of engineering 1-2: GuitarZero 3-4: Guitarist 5-6: BedroomRocker 7-8: GuitarMaster 9-10: GuitarHero and for the number of lessons: 1-2: Experimenting 3-4: Strong Based 5-6: Multi Talented 7-8: Badass (From Canis) Level>8: Next Level Something like that Cool work guys!

I would put it like: 1-5 Beginning (shredder...) 6-15 Experienced (player..) 15-25 Accomplished (guitar hero...) 25-50 Wise (player...) (he knows a lot of lessons - licks, scales etc...) 50+ Omniscient (guitar god) And when he will manage to do 50 + with highest rating (guitar god), he would make some kind of exam to be allowed to choose the ultimate title for ex.: Son of Steve Vai Son of Michael Romeo Son of Joe Satriani Son of Yngwie J. Malmsteen etc. etc. etc. (or daughter ofc..) Btw. those lvls will be determined by percentage of total amount of lessons (say 20%+) with highest rating. In work: 20 lessons total, 10 on diff 3 5 on 4 4 on 6 1 on 7 he would have been Accomplished shredder - highest 20 % are 4 on lvl 6, so that would count.

Jan 24 2009, 01:05 PM	Learning Roadie Posts: 287 Joined: 2-March 08 From: Australia	This is a great idea . I think the process of certifying a lesson as being successfully completed should just be done by a panel (of Seniors and Instructors), and judged only on the technical aspects eg. timing, correct notes etc. After all, if a submitted lesson is technically correct should it be rejected for a lack of "feeling", for example. If it lacks "feeling" that could just be a side comment from the panel. Anyway, I'd love to see this get off the ground ASAP. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

We can use experience points to unify that dual ranking system as this. We can classify lessons under 4 catagories like: Difficulty 1-2-3 -> Beginner; 4-5-6 -> Intermediate; 7-8-9->Advanced; 10->Insane You could find one ranking system by multiplying every step by 1000 and add it to a general sum like: Beginner x 1 + Intermediate x 1000 + Advanced x1000000 + Insanex1000000000 That gives you a number like this as experience: 1,014 => this player has played 1 Intermediate Lesson and 14 beginner lessons 3,017,003 => this player succeeded in completing 3 Advanced lessons 17 intermediate lessons and 3 beginner lessons 9,120,050,002 => this lovely alien succeeded in completing 9 insane lessons 120 advanced lesson 50 Intermediate lesson and 2 beginner lessons. Yeah 1000 successiful lessons from the level below makes a +1 to the upper class, but lets face it one who accomplished 1000 beginner lessons is possibly able to play 1 intermediate lesson So we can rank it like using this number like Below 1000 -> Guitar Rookie Between 1000 and 1000,000 -> (you name it) Between 1000,000 and 1000,000,000 -> (you name it) Above 1000,000,000 -> (you name it) And also we have a problem here, as various difficulty lessons contain various techniques, you need another descriptor to imply that individuals capabilities. One can be excellent in A.P but may lack potential in Sweep picking or Legato runs. May Humble idea is to push in 7 descriptors like this: Warrior, proficient with A.P, Tapping, Vibrato, Bends etc Mage proficient with Legatos, Sweep Picking, Whammy etc Rogue proficient with Hybrid Picking, Extreme Pentatonic Mastery, etc Spellsinger, Warrior and Mage abilities Illisionist, Rogue and Mage Bard, Warrior and Rogue Jack of All Trades, Warrior, Mage, Rogue And also, one may also be ranked with everything he does in GMC, like uploads, collaborations etc...
