GMC Forum _ PRACTICE ROOM _ Instructor Week Feature
Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Feb 9 2009, 10:33 AM
Ok so the usual old fart is back on the main page. I think it's pretty safe to say that most people experienced this last week - Muris Week - as something very refreshing.
Not only was it nice to have a new face on the GMC front page - but it was also refreshing to have this new "GMC frontman" active in the chat, lots of lesson updates, collabs and competitions etc.
We will have a discussion between instructors about this new feature - but it definitely feels as we will be having more of these weeks.
What do you think about this feature? Did it affect your GMC experience in any way? Do you have suggestions on new features we could include in future "Instructor Weeks"?

For me it certainly provided extra inspiration (the new lessons and one of Muris' collabs). I've seen Muris in chat many times and active on the forums (even more than his average 
), this was a really good idea and the first instructor week went pretty flawlessly! I loved the shredcast based on this event! And that's the key word: event. These kind of "activities" make this site even more fun...
I'm definitely waiting for the next one

All I can say is that I really enjoyed it, thanks!

Heh, I came back after my usual months of exile, and thought you had left, Kris, and Muris took over 
But a good idea!
Posted by: Muris Varajic Feb 9 2009, 11:49 AM
But a good idea! Ahh, what a nice surprise, we've been missing you Kaneda!!

I think it's good for the website to have some changes and refreshments like this. Muris week was very interesting.

Really enjoyed it Kris, the experience of people like Muris and the wealth of knowledge they bring to the site is a fantastic resource for the users as well as providing inspiration and insight into their playing.
I really hope this continues on a regular basis, really looking forward to Ivan week!

I think it's a good idea to keep these weeks up as it keeps the front page fresh and means we get to see every instructor play without a backing

MOAR!
Posted by: Kaneda Feb 9 2009, 12:00 PM
Thanks, but as usual, don't get used to it (me)
Posted by: tonymiro Feb 9 2009, 12:18 PM
Nice to see you back Kaneda -even if but briefly .
Cheers,
Tony

Certainly a good initiative which is highly enjoyed. Keep those instructor weeks comming

It was really useful feature , I enjoyed seeing Muris around more
Posted by: lcsdds Feb 9 2009, 12:50 PM
I thought it was very cool and think it would be great to highlight a different instructor for a week from time to time!!

I think it was very cool and refreshing
keep the good work up

I thought it was awesome.
I think it'd be good as something like the first week of every month.

I really enjoyed it, it made a bigger difference than I thought it would. Moar plaese

I enjoyed it very much, good feature!

It was very nice indeed, Kris:) Muris deserved to be the first:P
Btw. if David Walliman would accept it, I would be VERY excited, for his own week. I recently really started to love his tone and phrasing style:)
The GMC could have a special Christian skin for the week.. And right after that week of Lian Gerbino with Burzum on the main page

I thought it was a great idea, I'm gonna make it a instructor movie poster week for whoever's next 
Posted by: Jose Mena Feb 9 2009, 03:23 PM
I thought it was great, very surprised to find Muris on the main page and at some point 4 or Muris' lessons, all great. I am pretty sure students were inspired, I believe everyone saw its benefits.
Posted by: kaznie_NL Feb 9 2009, 07:44 PM
I think it's cool, and a lot of fun
Posted by: Muris Varajic Feb 9 2009, 09:40 PM
Yeah, sounds surprising
You got it.
Posted by: Bogdan Radovic Feb 10 2009, 01:14 AM
This was a fun week !!! It was very refreshing to see a welcome video on the main page and all the lessons/competitions/collabs going on
Posted by: Sensible Jones Feb 10 2009, 11:52 AM
I think it's been a really good feature!!! It's inspired me to try and get my new PC together before Ivan's week!!!!
Posted by: Zynex Feb 10 2009, 11:57 AM
I think it's great for the users, but the instructors as well . Every Instructor on GMC is doing a great job, and I think everyone of them deserves a moment in the spotlights! Considering how much they do for us
Posted by: David Wallimann Feb 10 2009, 05:27 PM
I enjoyed that too1
Muris did a great job entertaining the masses as usual. :-)
Posted by: Hisham Al-Sanea Feb 10 2009, 10:45 PM
interesting
Posted by: Vasilije Vukmirovic Feb 11 2009, 12:02 AM
Muris really deserved it! It is interesting to add new features from time to time!
Posted by: Muris Varajic Feb 11 2009, 01:01 AM
It's great to hear you liked it guys!!
Posted by: opeth.db Feb 11 2009, 01:21 AM
Loved Muris week.
Felt like I got to know him a bit better!
Posted by: Fran Feb 11 2009, 02:03 PM
I think it's a good idea, makes up for interesting collabs, competitions, lessons, stories... was nice!,
Posted by: Canis Feb 11 2009, 02:16 PM
I loved instructor week ^^
As GMC would be nothing without every one of them, it's only fair to give them a tribute of this sort =)
Also, I learned a lot about Muris this week.. I had no idea he played with so many different artists in his country
