In the six months I've been here, I've learned way more and improved more than I did with 2+ years of private lessons; not to mention that private lessons cost WAY more. Finding this site was one of the best things that has happened to me during the past year; it has renewed my passion for playing the guitar, and the community here is the best that I have ever come across on the web. Like others have said if you don't like it, you're entitled to your opinion, and you're free to leave. I won't be following you anytime soon though You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

What do you want exactly for such a small fee? I and many others have managed to build up a solid skill set from scratch. That is not just technique, but theory also. Sure I have had to be proactive about peiceing everything together, but thats what learning is all about Something is only rewarding if your prepared to be the effort in. Sorry if thats not what you wanted to here, but its a fact of life. Goodbye and Good luck in whatever you do You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Sorry if thats not what you wanted to here, but its a fact of life. Absolutly spot on! nothing is handed to you on a plate, its all about hard work and effort, if these guys (both members & instructors) dont give you the motivation and inspiration to do that then I dont really know what will. I think by the sounds of it you miss the point about the lessons, these guys are sharing with you a wealth of experience and knowledge, things they have taken many years to learn and master, and they are showing you how to do it without the frustrating bit in between where else will you get that for such a small fee? Take what they are showing you and USE it for yourself, thats what will help you develop as a guitarist with your OWN style. If theres things you wanted to know or be shown why didnt you simply ask?? I wish you luck on your guitar learning journey I hope you find what you are looking for. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I do not care how many instructors there are to be honest, if you are looking for good quality lessons, why do you care about how many instructors make them? It seems you should be ONLY caring about quality, and nothing else, like you said, but you still manage to complain about instructor quantity, which you said you don't care about. However, I am going to have to agree with him somewhat on the explanations in lessons, some lessons are just a video divided up with a tab, and I don't really get much out of them except maybe how to play the lesson, I am unable to apply them in other situations. There are some of Pavel's videos where he actually has the guitar there and is playing, talking, explaining, as the video goes, I like those kind. David Walliman makes really good lessons as well, I like the 5 minute or so spoken thing at the beginning of all his videos and how he lays it all out theory wise. Joe Kataldo also goes in depth very much when it comes to his lessons, I think all lessons should be like this. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Why are you still here again? If you're this negative about it to begin with you're never gonna learn anything useful. You need to want to learn and get better at the things you practice from lessons and the theory board, and not expect that everything will just pop into your mind and make you that much better just by looking at it. I really hope you find another site that meets your demands on quality and learning curve, good luck You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I got most of my learning from the 101 lessons, and I really liked them, but when kris stopped doing these lessons is when I stopped needing them, because I learned how to practice, how to phrase, and several speed lick ideas. If you just started learning guitar then you probably need a more personal 1 on 1 feel, so go to the early 101 lessons, they are great and there are a good number of them(although I'd love to see more ). Those have everything layed out and explained very well by a wierd, entertaining, really cool Swedish guy. Isn't that what you wanted? More explanation, and how to apply it to your own playing? It's all here sir, you just gotto do a bit of digging, because most of the 101 lessons are old. Those explain how to do something and how to apply it to your own playing, after you finish those you should be able to benefit more from the current riff/licks/solo lessons. Is that not enough for you? I guess so. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

You blame instructors on being lazy and not pulling their part indirectly and then you fail to support your post with any grammar once so ever. People may take you more seriously if you didn't seem like a 9 year old kid whining. Andrew's theory lessons are as good as they get, trust me, if you would like, I can post a picture of the theory instructional books I have spent about $100 on. After going through all these, I can safely say that with the proper time dedicated, asking questions, and studying and understanding, Andrew's theory lessons are all you will ever need. Music isn't about all about theory like you seem to think, I used to think it was, and trust me, it isn't. Most of the riffs and solos I have come up with are purely from what I hear in my head, I may use theory to perfect them or something, but overall, it is not THAT important. Especially melodic theory like scales/modes etc, frankly I understand them very well but they are of no use to me. Rhythmic theory I think is much more important and you should spend time on them. You post makes no senese at the end. You don't want to learn "no name guitar player riffs," so that means what you want to learn is guitar riffs that are well-known, well guess what, you can get free tabs for those. Wait, you don't like tabs either. I just don't get what you want. And besides, no one says you have to look at the tabs in the lessons here, you can read the theory notes, learn the scales that the lesson is based in, and figure them out by ear, I have done it. I could say much more, but for now I would just leave it that you are just way too ignorant to be talking right now. /Bye You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Every day I print one up, and every day I read it in school. They are top of the line! And another thing. GMC CAN NOT tell you what to play, it here to teach you what you need to learn to develop you own riffs and such. They give you example to learn and you apply it. GMC gives you the education, but you need to work on your end to apply what you learned to your instrument. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
