GMC is THE website for me for about 8 months now.
I visit it almost every day and get happy every time I enjoy GMC very, very much. It is a great place to be!!!! I think the 1700 lessons are great. I can 't do them a lifetime. If there is a double lesson I don't mind sometimes another way of telling the same thing can be okay. What I am missing is: - a scale and chord dictionary (and I mean the exotic (Jazz)chords) and - Chord inversion lesson. how to play the sound with other sound - How to play with two guitars: dual guitar melodies, harmonies Also lessons in song writing or more in-depth the theory behind a lesson: - the key of this is Am because of .... - the chords ((with a link to the scale dictionary)) in this key are I, V iV made of .... - these inversions make the sounds more colourful - the basics scale (with a link to the scale dictionary) you can use are maj/min pentatonic because of..... - also these modes can be used (with a link to the scale dictionary) beacuse of .... - I would like a slow version in the video or backing of a lesson played by the instructor. Maybe some lessons in: - how to stay in the beat or (how to count,play: 8, 16 notes) - play different kinda rhythm: funk, blues, rock, ska, disco - DAW: basics - recording with a computer and the use of DAW - how do use midi with DAW - how compose a backing track yourself with DAW + VST plugin like bass and drums: i am wordering how the instructor are making there backing tracks - more of in the style of - maybe a full cover lesson -------------------- Gear:

I'd really like more lessons about putting scales to chords, like which ones sound good together. I know there's some material out there on that, but I would like to see more, to get practice applying it.
-------------------- I spelled my username wrong...I didn't even think that was possible!
Look at the topic for my guitar... Finished Guitar Build Gear: Homemade strat (You still need to look at its topic!) Squier strat (probably going to get rid of it and get another guitar instead) :) Line 6 spider amp (not actually used for anything, just acts as a speaker) Digitech Gnx2 (kind of old, but cheap, and sounds amazing!) |

Hi Kris.
Needless to say that GMC is great! It already changed my life in many ways so far... I think the content of GMC is really nice and it is really good to have diversity. For instance, I used several sweep picking lessons and it would be good to have even more from different instructors. In fact, the problem I find now is not something being missing from GMC. On the contrary it is a little bit overwhelming. I check new lessons daily and bookmark them, but I feel frustrated cause I will never be able to complete all the ones I want (unless I lose my job ). I also feel that it is a hard for newcomers to know what to look for. Andrew series starts filling this gap for beginner players but not all newcomers to GMC are beginners. In other words, I think that GMC content is good and growing steadily but there is need to some more organization in innovative ways. Some people mentioned making a "table of contents", which could be a beginning in organizing things, but I think the future lies on "table of contents" customizable for every person. For instance, I have some favorite instructors and perhaps I would like to receive a weekly e-mail telling me what is the new lessons from this favorite instructors. I love hard and pop rock, but perhaps I am not so interested in jazz lessons. I love to find good surprises on the "Random lessons" but it would be even better to always find good surprises in a "lessons suggested for you". Some kind of data mining and user-customization could lead to develop a system like this. The mentored training program could also be used, where the mentor helps the mentored person to customize its own "table of contents". I am not sure if I am making myself clear, but I what I am telling is that every person should have the "GMC he/she wants".
