GMC Forum _ PRACTICE ROOM _ Does Gmc Want/need This?

Posted by: Jesper L Aug 5 2009, 12:14 AM

Hi, I've been away from GMC a long time now, but I was wondering if I perhaps should teach here.

The reason why I left is i feel there is a huge absence of downtuned stuff here, there's some but nothing that appealed to me at the time. I realise most people learning are doing so in standard tuning. But there's definatly like me that went "I'm gonna be a deathmetal guitarrist!" and just screwed the tuners until they went spagetti on me.

There should be alot of people that feel this way too and therefore not join this, in my opinion great community.
There might be a policy or something that prevent the teachers from doing downtuned stuff, I haven't seen it if that's the case.

So what I am able to offer this community?

I was thinking lessons in tunings ranging 1-3 steps down.
I have everything needed to make really good lessons I believe.
I have produced ALOT of songs within this style of lessons.
I have some skills in mixing/mastering and I would gladly help anyone with their very own productions.

Here's 2 covers I've made and I was thinking of doing lessons in this style but of course not only that even I occasionally make Ballads

To simulate the quality of my sound I'll probably will get here:

I would give some pointers of growling if anyone would want it

I know Lian Likes this stuff!

I just wanted to get some input on this before I would even apply.

Thanks for reading!

I think you should really send your application to Kris, as he is the one who will decide it in the end. I cannot listen to the youtube videos right now though, but I'm pretty sure I've seen the occasional downtuned lesson here at GMC.

As Cael suggests you need to discuss this with Kris Jesper. Also take a look at http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/teach-online/index.htm for more information and detail about how to apply.

You should apply and see what Kris says

yes, definitively I like it. I think you can go far with your program/ideas telling Kris about them. he has the last word on this.

ov fire and the void was a big challenge and you did a great job. \m/

Look for Kris, good work.

Send your application in man, I think you have a good shot! I'm really not into the growling and all but I do tune down and like your production quality, even with YT's compression.

Tony linked you to the right place so go for it man!

As soon as I get my new studiospace up I'll make an appliaction then
Hope to be making some lessons in a near future then
