GMC Forum _ PRACTICE ROOM _ One On One Lessons...
Posted by: Wallimann Jul 3 2007, 09:58 PM
Hi!
I was wondering if GMC will have any more one on one lessons...
If so, would that section ever be open for new lesson submissions?
I think students might like it, and it might be easier for instructors to prepare the lessons...
What do you think Kris?

Totally agree...Especially with Wallimans teaching style (intros in beginning). I think that if David were to develop a lesson with a full one on one style format, that it would be beneficial to both his style and our (the students) learning. If he were able to play a riff, talk about it, slow it down, and elaborate on anything that relates to the riff, he would have gotten his point across very well...Great idea Walliman!

+1
And I will stubbornly suggest a progressive rhythm lesson. If there are any instructor takers a 1o1 15-20 minutes session would be teriffic!

I agree

This would be a great idea.

this is a great idea! im up for it.

Great Idea.
Might I add it fits right in with Wallimans style. Gmc would be 50 % better if we had more 1 on 1 lessons.
And weve yet to have a "Real " Rhythm lesson. I think the perfect 1 on 1 lesson would be a cool chord progression, into a lead solo type thing. That way you hit both sides of guitar playing.

I'm in, I've been waiting for 101 lessons for a loooooong time.
Posted by: Wallimann Jul 5 2007, 02:50 PM
I would love to do that.
Teaching and talking is so much easier for me I think!
Posted by: SDMF75 Jul 5 2007, 03:36 PM
Count me in on that too!! Much prefer the one on one lesson format.
Posted by: dk2 Jul 5 2007, 03:45 PM

but i would like if pavel made one to

Whatever works best for you Walliman!
We will love it regardless.

Totally agree we need more rhythm playing! Chord progressions rock and metal rhythm and stuff would be cool. It's good to have riffs but i think we could with some actual rhythm some rhythm with lead would be good like metal rhythm playing with single notes as well to get a kind of melodic style just stuff like that
Posted by: dk2 Jul 5 2007, 05:32 PM
or at least one 1o1 video from every guy that have done a video 
Posted by: Eat-Sleep-andJam Jul 5 2007, 06:52 PM
Yeah like I mean dont get me wrong I love lead and everything , yet I just need some basic rhythm to back it up. But I think the perfect combo would be rhythm and lead maybe in a metal, rock, or possibly blues tone.
Judging by gabriel's last rock lesson, I def. want more of those

Yeah absolutely and same with me i love lead there's nothing like a nice guitar solo and stuff but we are abandoning rhythm which is just as important and i think equally as difficult especially when it comes to coming up with good ideas. I'm not talking just basic power chords that these little rock bands do i mean proper decent rhythm
. Would be cool to see some stuff like that maybe a rhythm section with lessons about it

I was thinking the exact same thing, this would be an awesome addition to the site.

About the 101 format - the way I see it:
Cons:
* It is not upported by our lesson uploading interface. 
Sorry, lesson interface is the reason why we have one update per day now instead of one per week.
* A good 101 lesson requires quite a bit from the instructor (good language, teaching experience, better video editing capabilities). With our current lesson format if you're a good guitarist, you will most likely be able to do great lessons.
In other words ist is much harder to guarantee high quality standards - even though I am quite sure most of our current instructors could make a good one.
Pros
* Possiblity of more thouroughly explanations for the instructors use to live teaching
* "Feels" more like a live 101 lesson
My suggestion - for the near future let's stick to the current lesson format. However, for those teachers who want to go for the 101 format we can add the possibility of including a longer intro video.
As it is now instructors get a little bonus for a short 101 intro-spoken-video (such as the ones David Wallimann, Pavel and Roo have done recently) - but we can work out a better comission for a longer such video.
This would in other words be a compromise.

101 lessons would be amazingly great I must say, but its great how it is at GMC right now w/o new 101 lessons. So I definitly accept your compromise Kris. It will add more to the lesson videos. Brief explanations of any sort. At the start of the lessons, would make our lessons even more better.
Posted by: Wallimann Jul 6 2007, 04:22 PM
So what should be the length of a new opening ?
Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Jul 7 2007, 01:25 PM
I think I have got a good idea that will please everyone - stay tuned!

Kris, I doesnt really matter if the video comes out to be of exceptional quality. I dont mind a YouTube'ish (i made a new word!!!) quality lesson. The 101 lesson really helped me (like the penatonics lesson). Why cant you make the 101 lessons high quality? Im sure you can also get other instructors to pool in some 101 lessons.
I have another question Kris. Why cant you upload the lessons you posted on ultimate-guitar (like hybrid picking)?
Posted by: Andrew Cockburn Jul 7 2007, 03:11 PM
I suspect that UG would have made Kris sign an exclusivity contract for those videos, just like we do with our instructors ...

you better

Ohh, I wish i had patience.

I joined GMC because of the 101 lessons. Now, granted, that was long time ago - when there were only 5 or 6 lessons. I like the 101 lessons because I feel that I learn a great deal more than the current format. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy learning the riffs and stuff in the current format but I don't enjoy it as much as the full explanation of 101. However, I understand what Kris is saying about it.
If I can make a suggestion that may or may not be appropriate - I think it would be nice to see an option to contribute to the instructors whose lessons you enjoy learning from the most. I know members pay to join already and it would be totally optional, but I think it might be a better attraction to instructors to know that they may earn a little extra if there was an option to contribute like a donation or whatever to a paypal or similar type of account as a "thanks for that cool lesson here's a few bucks toward your new guitar" type of thing from those members who appreciate that particular lesson.
I may be out of line here and Kris I hope this doesn't cause any trouble, but I have to say that I have really learned a lot more than I would have had I not joined GMC two years ago and I would be greatful to give back to those who have tought me.
Just a thought.
