As this was posted a while ago I thought I`d give it a *BUMP* 
Posted by: Sam Hook May 5 2008, 08:44 PM
Awesome entries everyone! Well done to everyone who took part! 
Posted by: audiopaal May 5 2008, 09:08 PM
Are we (the contestants) allowed to vote as well?
I won't vote on my own lesson of course
Posted by: Smells May 5 2008, 09:12 PM
yep u can vote, we had this b4 on the Lick of the day lesson, I`d say go ahead and vote for yourself if you wish, entirely up to you
Posted by: DeepRoots May 5 2008, 09:20 PM
Good luck to everyone who entered- there's some top quality lessons posted for this competition
Posted by: audiopaal May 5 2008, 09:21 PM
Ok, I'll listen through all of them again then to see what I'm up against
Yeah, I know I could but I don't know.. I don't think it's right in a way!?
Anyhooo, GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!
Posted by: ztevie May 5 2008, 09:58 PM
I don't know why my entry is called "Beginners phrasing help" and points at a lesson by Smells? 
And I see I have 4 votes already, so maybe someone voted for me believing it's Smells lesson they voted for, so I may have some votes I shouldn't have, or the opposite?
Posted by: Smells May 5 2008, 10:05 PM
I`ll try and change the link, if not I`ll get Andrew on it asap mate
Ok sorry about that, Andrew must have had a little slip, but I`ve changed it all to point to your lesson and changed it in the poll too

Sorry about the mixup Ztevie - and thanks for fixing it Smells!
Posted by: ztevie May 5 2008, 11:44 PM
No problem Andrew C...
Audiopaal sails away in a comfortable lead! OK, dude, you played dirty and used that hat to win you votes, now I will call a few "contacts" of mine down in Sicily. Eeehh, that is... If it's ok by the rules to use bribes and threats in this competition?

Of course as long as we know nothing about it
Posted by: Gus May 6 2008, 12:02 AM
I will give a deep check on the entries to do my vote. (for the sake of competition not myself)
And hopefully I will get some more votes

Hahaha
I'm really sorry, I won't use the hat next time, I promise
And to those of you who voted both for me and the other contestants, thanks a lot
It wouldn't be as exciting without you
Posted by: Zizi Top May 6 2008, 12:37 AM
it would be cool if everybody leaves a comment after voting, to tell why did he choosed him and other feedbacks
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion May 6 2008, 12:39 AM
I've voted.
Posted by: Gus May 6 2008, 01:26 AM
Yep, even if one doesn't want to undisclose the vote, it would be nice to hear what kind of lesson one is more interested in or general feedback, so that we improve lessons in the future.
Posted by: audiopaal May 6 2008, 08:51 AM
Andrew, can this topic be pinned? Might get more voters that way!?
Posted by: Kristofer Dahl May 6 2008, 09:06 AM
Excellent entries everyone!
I won't vote on my own lesson of course
With the way the forum software works - all we can do is assume that everyone votes for themselves - so be sure you do that as well!
edit - topic pinned!
Posted by: Iluha May 6 2008, 09:28 AM
I voted for Ztevie, I think it's a really great concept to try playing around with exotic scales!
Posted by: audiopaal May 6 2008, 09:45 AM
edit - topic pinned!
Good, with so many great lessons it deserved a pin
Posted by: Zizi Top May 6 2008, 10:35 AM
thanks for the pin 
Posted by: Vic_Black May 6 2008, 01:35 PM
My vote goes to ZiZi Top's lesson Nice playing man
Posted by: Zizi Top May 6 2008, 07:30 PM

...you always win... It's not fair.....
Just kiding, great job leading Paal! It's gonna be hard for the rest of us to win a contest in this way
Posted by: audiopaal May 7 2008, 01:12 PM
Just kiding, great job leading Paal! It's gonna be hard for the rest of us to win a contest in this way Not always, Leedbreak just beat me in Muris's competition (Congratulations Leedbreak!!!)
Thanks a lot Kaznie, I always try my best
Posted by: Mark. May 7 2008, 01:30 PM
I voted Vic Black because his lesson showed me a new approach for riffing, and I'm always in for something totally new
Posted by: Vic_Black May 7 2008, 02:09 PM
Thanks again man
Posted by: superize May 7 2008, 02:17 PM
No i am last now 
Posted by: Gus May 7 2008, 02:30 PM
I thought more people would be interested in the lessons and competition
33 votes seems pretty small compared to the size of GMC community...
Maybe if it was on main GMC page, under GMC community
Anyway, we (the contestants) seem to follow it vote by vote
Posted by: Vic_Black May 7 2008, 02:33 PM
not actually
Posted by: Zizi Top May 7 2008, 02:37 PM
Oh yes lol
Posted by: Zizi Top May 7 2008, 04:31 PM
i've created a topic where i commented all the lessons, you can check it out and do the same

Posted by: Gus May 7 2008, 04:35 PM
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=15105
Great idea. I will do the same later, from home.

http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_forum/index.php?showtopic=15105
Nice, good idea
Posted by: Gus May 9 2008, 07:42 PM
It's getting interesting. At this exact moment, we have 3 people with 6 votes
Posted by: ztevie May 9 2008, 07:48 PM
Yeah, the winner is clear, but then it's a pretty open race...
Posted by: audiopaal May 10 2008, 04:01 AM
Ztevie: what guitar is it you use in the lesson? Looks awesome
And the sound you got is pretty darn good as well
Posted by: ztevie May 10 2008, 07:56 AM

Thanks Audiopaal...
Well, that guitar is a handbuilt custom by some guys in Poland, Rek Guitars.
In the video it appears almost black which it isn't, you can check it out at their homepage for real colors and some more in depth photos: http://rekguitars.com/english.php?site=dir&nr=7
About tone, I only use Pod XT straight into the PC, I don't mess around with tone very much, now I just use some patches I downloaded. I'm not 100% happy with the tone, but I will tweak tone to perfection(
) some day soon...
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion May 10 2008, 10:46 AM
Andrew for the next comp voting is there any way to keep the voting hidden until the end so you don't know who wins That would be so much better and come as a bigger surprise to the winner.

and it would be cool if they've putted a floyd rose on the majestic p
Posted by: Andrew Cockburn May 10 2008, 12:14 PM
That would be so much better and come as a bigger surprise to the winner.INteresting you should say that - for the next competition we are going to do the exact opposite and make the voting even more prominent, but there is a good reason for it - you'll have to wait and see
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion May 10 2008, 12:18 PM
Cool. I'm going to try and take part in the next competition.
Posted by: Zizi Top May 10 2008, 12:21 PM
i wonder what will be the next competition
i can't wait to see it

Well, I sent my specification to many luthiers, who I had checked up before... In Sweden, Finland, USA and other west european countries the price I got was between $4000-$6500... In Poland (who do have many skilled luthiers) it ranged between $1500-$2800... I paid somewhere around $2000. I know however Polish luthiers are more expensive now...
There's a reason they don't have prices, they only make guitars excactly according to your specs, they don't have certain models, and everyone wants different specs which leads to a big variety of prices..
But they do have a pricelist, where you can se basic price depending on different things.
THis was a once-in-a-lifetime thing, or so I thought, I'm constantly have GAS for a new custom built, but I'll keep the money in the bank for some time to come.. I have terrible gas for a Music Man Petrucci now though!

Your guitar is so cool man, it was a good investment, i think that a custom built guitar is better than a musicman pettruci
and it's pretty expensive too
yeah and by the way, i'm also thinking of changing my pickups, i have EMG 81/s/85. i like EMG, but sometimes, i think that i want something else ... (i have a ibanez prestige 1570 i think and my EMG pickups are to close to my strings, and i can't lower them more ... and i don't want to higher my strings ... the problem is that my pickups are so loud now ! )

Looks like they have a few great guitars built there!Thanks for the link
Ok, sounds good enough though, I liked your tone anyway
Keeping secrets are we? Grrrrr...

That's not a bad price at all, something to think about..
Although I want a Music Man Petrucci too
