Great idea, Zizi.
I think we all put quite a lot of effort preparing classes for this competition. So it is good to know how we could have done better with the same effort. Superize: I agree with Jad. Maybe you could have recorded the power chord together with the octave. (check the fast part of Fade to Black for example) Ztevie: I really liked your lesson. Phrygian Dominant is one of my favorite scales. You have very good and precise phrasing. My only critic is that you should try to put some more speed from middle to the end, so that the solo achieves a climax. And I really recommend you to buy guitar pro. Zizi Top: I liked your class a lot. Very well prepared. I would use a little bit less of spatial effects (probably less delay). Also, check out your highs. When you chop up in the fretboard it starts clipping Deeproots: Quite simple class but efficient. Explanation is very through. Actually one of the things I would like to see more in GMC is explanation videos. Off course, proficiency in English affects that a little (not your problem of course). Audiopaal : You definitely know how to put up rhythm guitar and again, congratulations for the tone you achieved in the recording. I was about to make a class on rhythm guitar but I thought it would be more interesting to do something on lead (but voting is proving me wrong since you are winning ). As critic, I add to what Jad told. You are sometimes repeating the same long rhythm figure. Either try to mix with some lead figures (check Gabriel lessons, he excels on this) or do some variations around. Vic_Black From the classes to the competition the concept you presented was the one I never tried before. So in a sense it was the most useful. But, check out your tone. Maybe it's because I am using precise headphones, but your sound is a little bit agressive (not in a good way) even causing a little bit of pain in the ears. Maybe you should check your highs? Also you could add some more explanations (like what are natural harmonics for instance). This post has been edited by Gus: May 7 2008, 05:44 PM -------------------- my "Thank you GMC!" video

So you guys are posting comments about other lessons and in the same time participate in the contest. Hehe Cool!
I suggest maybe to write comments on your own lessons too if you are doing it for the others -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

This is a great idea but I think it would be better to wait for voting to close in order not to influence new votes

I suggest maybe to write comments on your own lessons too if you are doing it for the others Yeah. That´s GMC. Even a competition becomes cooperation! Thanks for your comments Zizi. Indeed I have problem adding vibrato after bending. I am working on that with Walliman's and Lavendell's classes because I do want to add more... As a comment to myself, I see now that it became too long. For that reason , a little bit overwhelming (so maybe not that attractive) and because of that also the main video is huge. It would probably be better if I made 2 separate classes, one with the pentatonic part and another with the phyrigian dominant one... Even if my original intention was for both being the same solo...

Try getting yourself one or two portable halogen floodlights like these
I use one 150watt one of these that I mount fairly high and direct it towards the ceiling above where I`m going to sit, I`m going to get another one to give some extra lighting too, they are very cheap from a hardware store, my one cost me £14 (UK Stirling), the only draw back is the heat generated from them, I sweat buckets when I`ve recorded my lessons Check out my Wiki article HERE -------------------- |

While we talk about lightnin' let me point out that another good option is neon light. It does not generate heat - and in the summer can be quite useful. On the other hand in the winter time you don't need no extra warming up the room when using halogens

Just need to add something, as i'm a fan of this lesson It's a rhythm and Rock N' Roll lesson and i think it hits perfectly the goal of it. To play a very grounded and powerful rhythm guitar is often much more difficult as to add a modification on each bar to keep the guitar part interesting. Yep. I agree. What was just trying to say is there is no need to repeat a part twice, even if that´s the way it was composed. That should help keep the video short. But there is no need to put a modification just to have something different... -------------------- my "Thank you GMC!" video
