). Getting good grades will surely be very rewarding, and getting not so great ones will force us to practice more. As always more elaborate comments are more helpful than the shorter ones, but even these few numbers show much, especially considering that most of the time they will be more less relevant to the numbers provided by other judges.

QUOTE (ZakkWylde @ Mar 18 2009, 08:52 PM)  Is it possible to post another version of the same lesson if you have improved, to get a better rating? Kind of - this is a pass/fail assessment. If you fail it has no effect on your grade, if you pass it counts regardless of your score. If you fail you can resubmit whenever you need to. Regards, Andrew QUOTE (kaznie_NL @ Mar 19 2009, 10:29 AM) Hey Andrew, just quicky question. Is it fine if I just record with camera, no real deal with downloading BT's, recording syncing etc? Just in a way you can hear what I play just fine, but it's just not high quality. You need to play along with the backing track or we can't rate it - but if you want to record both on the webcam at the same time, that is ok as long as the quality is decent! Also, everyone note - the guidelines state that you need to include a link to the original lesson in your grading post - please make it easy for the instructors to grade you! -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

I love seeing everybody's takes on these lessons. I had no idea that all these takes were hiding out in cyberspace.

QUOTE (Praetorian @ Mar 19 2009, 01:43 PM) Andrew - how many instructor ratings do we need for a score to "count"? I see some uploads only have one instructor rating...and some have no ratings at all. I am afraid that these people's videos are going to get lost in the mix and never get rated. Videos with one rating...is that the final score for the video? We need mimimum 5 ratings, but don't worry, Skennington is looking after that angle - no-one will get forgotten! QUOTE (Matt23 @ Mar 19 2009, 01:29 PM) I have a quick question. A while ago I recorded a take on Joe's Strink Skipping Workout. I just recorded over a drum beat though, not the original backing. Can I post this or should I record it again with the backing? We'd like it recorded to the backing track so we can judge the overall performance and feel - just a drumbeat won;t give us as clear a picture, sorry! -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

I see your point Fkalich, but I guess playing along with the backing makes it easier to evaluate the correct timing & overall feel and cohesion of the piece, given the fact that GMC lessons are meant to be played along with the backing, with a "band" feel to them.

If you can play extreme neoclassic with a cat across your shoulders that should earn you an extra point for feeling as long as you look comfortable and relaxed about it!
Regarding backing, I would agree if we were just looking at technique, but we are also judging context - the sound of the guitar, the interplay with the backing, the timing etc. Without the backing track there is no context which makes the comparison less meaningful, and harder to judge. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
