Hi everyone,

I strumbled upon instructor plays instructor today.
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Instructor-Plays-Instructor-Ben-Gabriel/
From what I can see it has also been done atleast two times earlier
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/misc-lessons/instructor-plays-instructor/
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/bosnianinstructorplaysbosnianinstructor/

Since the last instructor plays instructor was done a long time ago unless I missed something, I thought it would be a fun idea to do it again
What do you think?

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jan 11 2021, 06:54 PM

heheh that's a cool idea! Shot your suggested duels!!

I would like to see Guido vs Diego!

Posted by: jstcrsn Jan 11 2021, 07:23 PM

if inspired or helped by any of these instructors ( GMC), one has to consider himself lucky

Posted by: Phil66 Jan 11 2021, 08:13 PM

I've always thought it would be good to see instructors learn other lessons, I don't just mean the final outcome but it would be good to see video of them in the initial stages. I might make us feel better if we see them struggle, it could make us feel worse though, if they pick things up in no time

Posted by: HiimAlex Jan 11 2021, 09:26 PM

I agree with you Phil.

I would like to see Guido vs Kristofer!

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Jan 11 2021, 10:31 PM

I am all up for it 😅but my only problem is I haven't learned anyone else's solo for over a decade..

But maybe we should take this to a new level and do more of a duel/jam kinda thing?

Btw that's some really cool piece of GMC history you dug up 😍👌

Posted by: Steve Gilfield Jan 11 2021, 10:48 PM

That's a great idea!

An instructor trying to learn other instructor's piece!

Shall we make it more interesting and choose lessons with material outside of their comfort zone?

i.e a jazz/blues-style instructor trying to learn a neoclassical piece and vice-versa

Bloopers will be awesome as well as a video telling us any difficulties they found and how they dealt with them.

Posted by: jstcrsn Jan 11 2021, 11:59 PM

Bloopers, come on man these players are professional. 1 and done, they don't need no 2nd take

Posted by: Todd Simpson Jan 12 2021, 01:31 AM

I think that's a great idea. It would be great to see the interplay of what comes out of it!

Posted by: Phil66 Jan 12 2021, 08:11 AM

That will probably be better for us mere mortals to see. If, and I repeat IF, we see your struggles, it might make us feel less frustrated with ourselves if that makes sense?






Absolutely, everything is outside my comfort zone so it's only fair

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Jan 12 2021, 08:39 AM

I wish it worked like this!!

Posted by: HiimAlex Jan 12 2021, 10:11 PM

I also think it is a great idea, its exciting to see how this will turn out

There is a lot of cool things at GMC, sometimes you just have to dig a bit to find it

Posted by: Monica Gheorghevici Jan 13 2021, 07:22 AM

Haha....that's a cool idea.

The difficulty will depend on the lesson that must be reproduced but definitely will not be such an easy task for instructors. It's never easy to play a solo made by other person mostly if it's opposite than your style.
It's not about just learning the tab, I personally would like to see details.

This will be the students time to "grade" the instructors.
Will be fun......but with good "students" we must be more demanding ( I learned this from REC).

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Jan 13 2021, 10:06 AM

I am ready to take up the challenge - if anyone wants to suggest a lesson for me I'll check if I think I can learn it.

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Jan 13 2021, 10:42 AM

This is a cool idea, like some kind of instructor learning video blog.

Posted by: Monica Gheorghevici Jan 13 2021, 11:40 AM

Kris I can suggest a lesson for you. I not chose by the level of difficulty because on higher lessons the shred is the base and you are the Master of shredding.

I personally would love to see you playing something very slow and with more details. This is the lesson that I propose for you

Will we see instructors entering the REC zone?

I found this a while ago and I thought this was fun.

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Jan 13 2021, 12:47 PM

Hehe why not? The hard part is learning the lesson, the rest is easy 😅




Yummi!! I would love to learn this one anytime 😍

I suspect some shreddy funk lesson might give me most problems, but I would find it much more enjoyable to learn the one you suggested.

Posted by: Phil66 Jan 13 2021, 12:53 PM

I'm voting for this one for Kris, Gab or Todd

https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Groove-Changes/

Posted by: HiimAlex Jan 13 2021, 12:57 PM

I would suggest this lesson
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Funk-Fusion-Phrasing/
or this one
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Odd-Funk-Fusion/

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Jan 13 2021, 01:12 PM

The two handed tapping part would kill me, I have never really practiced using several right hand fingers.




I love the type of modern Quayle:ish style of phrasing in the first one 😍👌

Posted by: Phil66 Jan 13 2021, 01:44 PM

Then you need to work on it Daniel Son. Wax on wax off

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Jan 13 2021, 01:53 PM

haha not sure I do, you know my motto: no fun no fan. I guess there is a reason I have avoided practicing it.

edit - So to clarify, if I am to put serious effort in to this - I need to be totally in love with the lesson, otherwise I am bound to give up after a few days

My plan is to see if we get some more suggestions, and then I could set up a poll before deciding which one to go for.

Posted by: Monica Gheorghevici Jan 13 2021, 02:08 PM

To be honest, I'm not so sure that a shreddy funk lesson would give you problems and you know why?
You are very used with this kind of rhythm and you feel it. From my point of view you are veeery good and you play veeery natural on it.

I think 2017-2018 was your funk period.
If you take a look in your YT channel, you will see: "Funky Fusion Shred", "Epic Funk Backing Track Jam", "Jammin' away over funky electronic beat", "G Dorian Funk Fusion Jam", "Modal Funk Fusion Jam", "Funkin' jammin'", "70s Funk Backing Track F# Minor".
See......you came then with a lot of funkalicious videos.

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Jan 13 2021, 02:13 PM

hehe you might be right about that Monica, I guess I forgot about 2017-2018 😅🙏 This one does sound funky indeed:



Right now it's these two I would love to dive into most:

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jan 13 2021, 02:34 PM

This thread is becoming very inspiring! Now I want to learn all those Diego's lessons!! I love his style.

That's completely killer Kris!! I miss your live jam sessions!

Posted by: Todd Simpson Jan 13 2021, 08:03 PM

Very cool stuff I like the idea of putting it up for a vote as well one the list of lessons is sorted. That's a great vid btw!

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Jan 13 2021, 09:59 PM

@Gab & Todd -

One option could be that we try the learning the same lesson, could be interesting to hear the differences in interpretation!

Posted by: Phil66 Jan 13 2021, 11:55 PM

Now that sounds like a plan. Definitely needs to have ongoing progress videos though

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Jan 14 2021, 10:12 AM

Here is another one that would give me serious resistance 😱
https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Hot-Country-Solo/

Yes I am really digging that idea as well 😎

Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Jan 14 2021, 03:04 PM

I'm in!!!




hahah the same to me! but I love challenges!



This one is definitely on my list of lessons that I want to learn.

Posted by: Steve Gilfield Jan 14 2021, 04:27 PM

Aren't there any more instructors besides Kris, Gabriel and Todd?!

Posted by: Caelumamittendum Jan 14 2021, 04:36 PM

There are, but I believe those are the most active on the forum

Posted by: Guido Bungenstock Jan 14 2021, 05:07 PM

Thx for mentioning me, guys. But I don't do any Guitar duels/competitions. ;-)

Posted by: Todd Simpson Jan 15 2021, 11:32 PM

It sounds fun I am pretty booked up at the moment though with work outside gmc but I will try to give it a go
