I love the lessons on this website, from all these great and talented musicians. I just wish they were longer, how do you guys feel about this?

You can expand the length of a lesson by arranging it parts like in a song, just add some repetitions and there you have a longer lessons, that feels more like an actual song.

Audiopaal explained the way that I would agree. On the other hand I think there are more reasons for that. For example if I am doing a lesson about tapping, I can show everything I wanted in about 1 min so you have enough material to practice. There rest would be just a repetition. But we leave 5 min jam track so you can extend your ideas and play longer. Even for the 1 min leseson I spend 8-10 hours of recording, rendering, uploading, transcribing, editing... Imagine 3-4 minutes lesson. That would need to have 20 slow videos and it would take us 3 days. You wouldn't learn much more than from just 1 minute.

Yes they are short, but there are lot of them. And lot of them are rather difficult!

They are short but packed with licks, techniques, etc.
To me mastering these lessons, and I choose easy ones, takes more time than learning some real full songs, because they are so dense and make you practice things which take time to master, as opposed to some real songs in which you play powerchords for 4 minutes and then do a 20 second solo in between. -------------------- Guitars:

I think they are perfect length-wise, they gives the opportunity to focus on a special technique/concept and since some of them are really hard to get through it would be impossible if they were longer....
 Also they works very well as a source of inspiration (which is the way I use most of the time, rather than learn everything note-by-note) An important goal as a guitar player is to find Your own voice instead of copying other players.... (even that this is good for learning though)What I REALLY missing is the feature I talked about before - when the instructors are playing the phrases slow, there is no reference in time (e.g metronome), that will help A LOT imo. //Staffay --------------------  Guitars: Ibanez AM-200, Ibanez GB-10, Fender Stratocaster Classic Player, Warmouth Custom Built, Suhr Classic Strat, Gibson Les Paul Standard 2003, Ibanez steel-string Amps: Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, Marshall JMP 2103, AER 60 Effects: BOSS DD-20, Danelectro Trans.

I think the lesson format is great. Longer piece can be put easily into smaller lessons number 1, 2, 3 or so. With big ones, I think that wouldn't be possible. Also, the length of lessons is varying a lot.

QUOTE (Marek Rojewski @ Jan 13 2010, 12:33 PM)  I like long lessons also, but all there reasons mentioned here are valid. GMC is a limitless mine of licks and ideas, if we practice hard enough, and try to create something on our own, than we have everything we need here. agreed. There's tons of info here and always more coming. And you can even request your own. -------------------- Visit my:
