We have discussed various possible improvements of our REC functionality in this thread.
As a first step, we will change the passing grade from 7,5 to 6. Also, instructors will use the whole grading spectrum to a greater extent. This will make it easier for students to track their progress, and it should make the higher grades even more desirable. ------ Instructors will look at the following aspects to grade your takes: 1. Rhythm placement: Overall ability to play in rhythm and keep a steady tempo. This aspect should take into consideration the groove factor of certain lessons such as topics involving shuffle or swing type of rhythm. 2. Cleanliness: The cleanliness factor evaluates the student's ability to play something with clarity and precision. This is indicative of the overall level of playing as well as the amount of practice of this particular lesson 3. Feel: The feel factor determines if the student shows comfort in the chosen musical piece. Several factors are included in the feel criteria such as rhythm placement, posture and overall lesson execution. 4. Posture: Posture determines if the student is holding the instrument correctly and shows comfort while playing. Good posture is a necessity for good overall technique. 5. Sound: The sound factor will grade the student's tone and ability to play a piece with a similar type of sound. This section will not give advantage to students with more expensive gear, it is more of a general way to see if you can chose an appropriate tone to the lesson you're working on. Each of these points represent 2/10 of the total grade, and the final grade will be a sum of them. A total sum of 5.5 will be rounded off to 5. --- Finally I want to remind you that we have all been on the 'lower end' of the spectrum. So getting a lower REC grade does not mean you are a hopeless case, it simply means you arrived to the right website. We are here to help you progress! REC is a progress- and motivational tool. |

Oh, I have question concerning REC:
Is it still "prohibited" to upload REC takes of "original" material, like Miracle Man solo? The lessons that have no tabs, just video. |

You can shoot famous song lessons for the REC section as long as you provide the backing track (due to licensing reasons). -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

I actually don't think the new system is far off the ball. I think 6 is the new 7.5
 What I mean is, I think it will be as hard to get a 6 as it was a 7.5 because the instructors are now using a lower (1) starting point. This also gives more scope in the upper scores. If you're not happy passing on a six, you don't have to stop there, you can always try again for a 7, 8, 9, or 10
