Hi there,
I am sure most of you have noticed we have got an incredible amount of metal lessons! Thanks to our extremely skilled instructors we are starting to get good coverage of different metal sub-genres. In order to make our archive more comprehensible, and easier to navigate - we are curently thinking of ways to split our largest categories. The thing is - I am not sure I know enough about metal sub-genres to do the classifying by myself!  So my question to you is - how would you like to split the metal section on the video lessons page? The tricky part is understanding and identifying which are the biggest metal sub-genres at GMC..! Examples of some sub-genres would be speed/thrash metal, power metal, heavy/classic metal (?), progressive metal etc. Let's say that a sub-category needs to have at least 10 gmc lessons in it for it to qualify! All help is appreciated!

In theory a great idea, but not as easy as it might sound like. There are so many subgenres in metal that it can become very tricky. Take Blind Guardian for example, we have been labled Speedmetal, Heavy Metal, Power Metal, Progressive Metal, Epic Metal, Melodic Metal, Thrash Metal... I consider us to be metal
 As I said, basically a good idea, I am just afraid that we might end up with 100 subgenres here. -------------------- Guitars: various Gibson Les Pauls / Gibson J 45
Amps: Mesa Boogie Tripple Rectifier / Triaxis / 2:90 Poweramp / Rectocabs Effects: Rocktron Intellifex / Rocktron Xpression Homepage: www.marcussiepen.com www.blind-guardian.com Check out my video lessons! |

QUOTE (JeroenKole @ Aug 15 2008, 02:16 PM)  just generalize most genre's or stick them together because they are similar. Maybe something along these lines. Prog: Anything progressive, this includes progressive rock Classic: Sabbath, Maiden etc. Modern: Stuff like Trivium and that kind of stuff Epic: symphonic, power etc. Might add neoclassical here, not sure myself though Extreme: Death, Black etc. The Rest: What doesn't fit into the other catagories goes here. This is just a quick idea that can give an nice overview without having hundreds of subpages. Hope this helps, J Yes, I think this kind of a system could work, it could get really confusing if we would have dozens of sub-genre pages. -------------------- Gear:

Thanks Jeroen - it definitely feels like we are approaching a solution. Does anybody have anything to add?

i think we have to cover almost metal sub-geners... in the same time the GMC full of pentatonics/lydians/mixolydians and others . thats let GMC repeat it self .

From what I've seen you basically have either speed/power or some modern symphonic/melodic death lessons. So it's basically nothing to cathegorise.

I would say JeroenKole had the best proposition and this idea is a good place to start.
Now regarding labeling... I don't like labeling too, but I think this it actually not labeling. It is simply a good way to categorize lessons in order to find them easier here on GMC. So this categories bellow (as JeroenKole suggested) are good way to start, and see how it goes, maybe add one and work issues along the way. This is my modest suggestion. Prog: Anything progressive, this includes progressive rock Classic: Sabbath, Maiden etc. Modern: Stuff like Trivium and that kind of stuff Epic: symphonic, power etc. Might add neoclassical here, not sure myself though Extreme: Death, Black etc. The Rest: What doesn't fit into the other categories goes here. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
