Awesome idea, with very nice input already. Looking forward to it .
How about something along these lines: Beginner.......... Lesson Difficulty 1-2 ...... 7 lessons......then 3 lessons chosen by the panel Beg/Int............ Lesson Difficulty 3-4 ...... 7 lessons......then 3 lessons chosen by the panel Intermediate.... Lesson Difficulty 5-6 ...... 5 lessons......then 3 lessons chosen by the panel Int/Adv............ Lesson Difficulty 7-8 ...... 4 lessons......then 3 lessons chosen by the panel Advanced......... Lesson Difficulty 9-10..... 3 lessons......then 2 lessons chosen by the panel The expectations for each level have to be made clear, and, of course, lessons selected would have to cover these expectations. You can come in at any level and complete the lessons to achieve the ranking. Once you've submitted the required number of lessons the panel then chooses the final lessons. If you've chosen lessons mainly on the lower side of the difficulty level, the final lessons might be at the higher level. Also, the final lessons should include any techniques that may have been missed. I don't think the process should be too complex. Achieving a ranking shouldn't be easy, nor should it be too daunting, especially for beginners. Some lessons could take months, especially if you have to master a new technique. I think the first ranking (Beginner) should be known as Guitar Rookie. In the future, collaborations could also be done according to the different rankings. A bonus for the instructors as they will know your playing abilities. Anyway, I'm ready for any endorsement program .... just as long as it happens soon.

This could work really well if you put a new tab under a lesson entitled student versions (where comments on lessons etc go) then people could upload their version underneath the lesson itself and the relevant instructor /board could approve the student version for credit (i.e experience and level) or make suggestions for improvement etc, then the instructor could update the relevant students level somehow on their profile. Just an idea but I think it could work Alex We have such a tab, only called "Community". Students can post their youtube version of the lesson there. -------------------- GMC is not just a website...

First of all, I think we should divide the categories, that are to be rated. For this post, lets call them difficulty and quantity.
in terms of difficulty - how promotions (on higher level) should be done (Sort of like Lineage 2 ): - each month there will be (say) 4 different lessons (4 for each category..), you will have to complete (say) 3 of them, so you wont have to make one of them. If succesfuly completed, your title would be updated And for all of the lessons: - there would have been some "board of judges" - for sake of this post - with 10 members. For each your video, to be recognized as succesfuly completed, you would have to have 8 thumbs up out of 10. Btw. what about playing just some part of some lessons? Was anyone thinking about that? Bcos I tend to rather learn just a few licks here and there. I cant really remember when I finished some whole lesson:P This post has been edited by Jakub Luptovec: Jan 25 2009, 10:36 AM -------------------- my youtube account with riffs and ideas: https://www.youtube.com/user/Phoenygzus

Is it just me or does the average seem to be the wrong measure?
If I start out doing Level 1 Lessons, and then finally end up at level 10. Then at the end, I'll have an average level of 5.0. And I'll never be able to get the level to 10.0. I guess it's very hard to describe someones overall skill in terms of numbers. But I've actually built something similar for myself. It's a little script that analyzes my playing accuracy. But that's only helpful for learning how to play like a robot. - Jonas -------------------- My Website | My Gear | Elixir Nanoweb Strings Review | Installing Schaller Security Locks

Theoreticaly, some easily setupable database could solve those problems. Everyone participated in this program would have his own entry in the database, and everythime the judges would vote, the votes will be updated in the dat abase and, if needed, his title changed.
Shouldnt be too hard to create IMO - not that I would be able but.. -------------------- my youtube account with riffs and ideas: https://www.youtube.com/user/Phoenygzus
