What Is It?

GMC's Wiki is a guitar focused collection of articles created by the members of Guitarmasterclass.net.

It started out as a "Guitar Wikipedia" but has grown to become a Knowledge Base regarding both Guitarmasterclass site and guitar.

Who Can Write At GMC Wiki?

All GMC members can write and edit entries in our Wiki (except protected entries). The wiki belongs to GMC members and as such we encourage you to write in it sharing your knowledge with the rest of the community by creating new entries and expanding, updating or correcting existent ones.

Where Can I Learn The Basics

Our Wiki is really easy & intuitive to use.

You can learn the basics following our Wiki Tutorial.
Shall you have any doubts, you can also ask in our Wiki Forum.
Also, feel free to contact Wiki Coordinator Fran at the forum or through a private message. We'll soon get back to you solving your doubts!

What Can I Do At Guitar Wiki?

Guitarwiki has two different goals these days:

• Become a reliable source of information regarding guitar
• Serve as a knowledge base that gathers the huge amount of informative & useful content that we get from our community & forums.

Taking this into account a fast answer to the question would be "anything guitar or GMC related belongs in our Wiki".

That being said, let's take a look at the different things that are currently going on here:

• Guitar related entries. These are articles written by our members regarding guitar, guitarists, bands, gear, etc. They try to be objective & informative. This the "Wikipedia-like" core of our Wiki. As source of inspiration for our members we have a few focused ongoing projects such as the Wiki Guitarists Project & Genres Project. We also provide an autoupdated list of currently needed articles.

• Review entries. These are opinion articles about guitar gear & music albums. You can write them directly on the wiki or at our review boards, from where they are regularly imported to our wiki thanks to the WCP project

• Guitar Wiki is home of The GMC Journal, which is GMC's Newspaper project, where you can find & write about community events & happenings

• Guitar Wiki also helps coordinate different GMC programs such as REC, Student Instructors, Competitions etc.

What's in GuitarWiki for Me?

A ton of good information and the opportunity to share your knowledge with thousands!

Helping our wiki doesn't go unnnoticed, and as such regular members who are active are rewarded joining our Wiki Writer Ranks & get a cool Wikier Badge to wear at our forums.
