As some of you know - we are closing in on the installment of the new GMC design. Among other things - the new design will give us better possibilities of showcasing all our skilled students. So my question is...

Which youtube videos (uploaded and recorded by GMC members) do you think are the coolest ones? Any video qualifies - REC take, original song etc - as long as it's done by a GMC member.

If you give us your suggestions here (don't forget to include a youtube link) - we will make an editorial pick and feature some of the coolest ones on the main page when we go live with the new design!

This sounds cool will do some browsing.

audiopaal in his cowboy hat. That was the first that came to my mind.

EDIT: got no idea where to find it

Posted by: newguyatgmc Nov 11 2009, 05:58 PM

Just ask everyone to paste their youtube channel links here and you can choose..

Kris has some good one's himself... There was also some cool one from a canadian guy (forgot his name) mentored by Muris, i think...

This one by Chris in one of Gabe's collabs has a killer "cool" factor...

Posted by: Artemus Nov 11 2009, 06:18 PM

That may take Kris some time...

I'd suggest NoSkill's mitten technique

Posted by: Staffy Nov 11 2009, 06:24 PM

Hahaaa !!! I haven't seen this one, very cool! My vote for that!

I liked this collab Ivan did as well...I think this is the vid of Paal you were looking for Micke..

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Nov 11 2009, 07:04 PM

Some very good stuff already - please keep them coming!

I hadn't seen that one either!

Posted by: kaznie_NL Nov 11 2009, 07:11 PM

I think JamesT consistently posts good videos.

Plus, he's got a nice guitar, even my wife said so.

Posted by: audiopaal Nov 11 2009, 09:04 PM

Thanks

Here it is:




Oh, and these two aren't half bad either










I'd forgot about that one
Awesome

Kris, Are videos of covers allowed (covers that are not lessons at GMC)?

Anyways, I nominate this amazing REC take by Sollesnes..

Posted by: Santiago Diaz Garces Nov 12 2009, 07:08 AM

This is so cool!!. There's a lot of great videos!!

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Nov 12 2009, 10:25 AM

Sure!

Posted by: Marek Rojewski Nov 12 2009, 10:37 AM

Link to my Youtube account is in my signature, although I don't think I have any really cool videos, if I had to type one that is better than the rest it would be this one:


What came to my mind the most when I read the topic was Chris take on Gabes Iron Maiden collab, and Staffy blues video.

Posted by: Marcus Siepen Nov 12 2009, 01:28 PM

Hard to decide, there are too many cool vids

Posted by: zen Nov 12 2009, 03:12 PM

Very well then.. Lets throw in some good ol fashioned metal in the mix ... (Here's me playing Slayer's Raining Blood)





Some REC takes in my link below too. Cheers.

Posted by: kaznie_NL Nov 17 2009, 10:02 PM

So.... everyone agrees mine is coolest? Thanks guys!

Posted by: newguyatgmc Nov 17 2009, 10:44 PM

Staffy your video was so funny. ...I could not stop laughing

Posted by: Tolek Nov 17 2009, 10:50 PM

Every GMC video is cool! It´s hard to choose... My favs: Staffy and Kaz!

Here are some of my videos:

RHEEEY!!! this is me improvising to a backing track i found on youtube more videos here http://www.youtube.com/user/GGTopGuitarist

Posted by: Sollesnes Nov 18 2009, 02:26 AM

Aw come on guys, the point of this thread is to say which video you think is coolest, not share your own videos. Posting your own videos beats the point of the thread, and noone will nominate a video that already exist in the thread.

Posted by: JamesT Nov 18 2009, 02:50 AM

...funny, I remember you mentioned that in an email once.
Tell her I said thanks for the complement.

Posted by: Artemus Nov 18 2009, 12:02 PM

Yeah - I was wondering about this too

Posted by: Eat-Sleep-andJam Nov 18 2009, 01:47 PM

Yeah I agree. I stopped looking at this thread because it all seems like "Self Promotion."

Posted by: Darknodar123 Nov 18 2009, 01:54 PM

Hey guys this is me playing........... (hell no )

The thread is about coolest not every video done by GMC members.

Posted by: -Zion- Nov 18 2009, 02:02 PM

well.. some members may have videos posted that they are really proud of.. Videos that other members may not have seen and hence cannot "nominate", so i have no problems with it..

I think it's great that members here are promoting themselves.. It gives me a chance to see a lot of over-the-top-talent there is here at GMC.. Man, there's a lot of talent (and hard work) here.. excellent..

i'll just blatantly promote myself as well.. haha..

Posted by: purple hayes Nov 18 2009, 02:11 PM

I'm mad at her now. I brought home, what I thought was a really http://i.imgur.com/hIfkr.jpg and showed it to her. She said it was horribly ugly.

Posted by: Daniel Realpe Nov 18 2009, 02:50 PM

Wow I really enjoyed it! indeed very cool!

Posted by: skennington Nov 18 2009, 02:59 PM

Me too! Take a look at him at :27 and :33, looks like someone is getting ready to come in the room and he politely gives that look to "hold on a minute" and still keeps rocking! Cool!

Posted by: Vasilije Vukmirovic Nov 18 2009, 05:29 PM

Definitely Sollesnes take on Mojo Oro!

Posted by: Chris Evans Nov 18 2009, 05:40 PM

my wife was trying to come in, sometimes I put a door stop at the bottom if I`m doing video to stop her wakling in

glad you like it anyways I cringe watching myself though

I made this mistake of getting my face on camera the other day when I posted a REC video. My mom, who subscribes to my YouTube channel, saw the video and immediately called my wife wanting to know why I looked to bad.

My wife said that I always look like that.

Posted by: jafomatic Nov 18 2009, 07:29 PM

I apparently grimace before bending strings. I feel like it's in concentration but I suspect it's also done in expectation of pain as well. My wife and mother both remarked on it: "It's cute the way your mouth moves on some of those notes."

I started wondering if this isn't the reason behind the "war face" that players make (Vai's comes to mind) intentionally. What if the whole purpose is to control the expression to prevent some other expression from being made?
