Welcome to the family George,

Best advice, enjoy yourself, enjoy the journey, don't get too hung up on the destination, there isn't one. You will most definitely improve here at GMC, get a mentor to advise you on a personal level.

Have fun

Hi George! Welcome to GMC!

The main goal is to get fun while playing, that's the key to progress as a musician so take your time to explore the site and bookmark those lessons that you like more and that motivate you to play. We have some really cool features like collabs and forum workouts where we make music together, and you can also make use of the REC and mentoring programs to be guided by instructors.

I'm here every day ready to help you so feel free to write me via PM or at this thread and I'll help you design your guitar plan.

Enjoy the site!

Hey there and wellcome to GMC I hope you'll enjoy your time here and get know with a lot of other members and instructors. One of very important things at the beginning is to share some of your playing so we could get familiar with your overall playing level and then to be able to advice some lessons for exmaple


If you're ok with that I can take care of the collab. I would need a few days to prepare Nightwish-like track with orchestration taht would be...epic I hope Just let me know if you approve and I can start making things real

Thanks a lot Phil! I will follow your advice! I'll probably have Gabriel as my mentor if he wants too



Yeah I am into all this craziness stuff myself!!! Thanks Laurent!



Yes Monica, no question about that!!! See you on the forum and the collabs!!


Thanks Gabriel I am really excited! I would like you as my mentor. Are you available? Would you like that too?



Thanks Darius!! I would love to take part in the collab!!! The only problem is that I have a crappy old laptop and I am currently on tight budget... Sure in the future I'll buy a good software... But for now will a video from a phone do the work????



Thank you Chris! I am feeling great about being part of the GMC community!

Hi George

Welcome to the wonderful world of GMC !

Welcome! As mentioned above, make sure to check REC

Posted by: Darius Wave Feb 26 2016, 12:18 PM

Sure man! We've all strated with a very basic tools that were somewhere around - like cellphones cam, skype-type web cam or similar. Everything will come in a proper time. For the moment you can use whatever you are able to. Most important is to keep having fund with all of us

The only problem is that the guitar solo have to be recorded separately from the backing, because it goes fopr a further edit. But this can be done with a laptop as well...PM me on what exact equipment you own so I could help you figure out how to record things
