Lesson Plans
(Originally by RIP Dime)


Hey GMCers! GMC has grown a great deal and the lessons number is now so great that many of us have a hard time finding lessons that fit our needs. This problem has been made obvious by the many threads that read "Where do I start?" & "I need help with ". So to remedy this problem we have come up with this thread! If we all contribute to this thread, this will be a one stop guide to finding lessons that contain everything you need to improve the area of playing that you want! Making GMC an even more powerful learning tool.


In this thread students, and instructors will be free to post lesson plans that contain GMC lessons that help a certain topic of guitar. In this thread students will get person to person advice on what lessons to practice to meet their guitar playing goals.


To keep everything orderly and easy to understand we'll provide this template for lesson plans:


Topic
1) Links to lessons that will help the student gain basic understanding of the topic. As well as lessons that explain how to improvise or use the technique in thier own playing. 101 lessons, basically.
Then a description of how these lessons have helped you, or(if you are an instructor) why you think this will help students. Feel free to include any tips to learning the lessons, as well as any single part of the lesson that helps the most. Theory will be important too, any links to Andrew's theory lessons, or any of your own theory tips will also help.


2) Links to lessons that include exercises that will help the student increase his chops in that area. (this will be the lessons the students should spend the most time on, so song lessons that are good workouts aswell are welcome) Then a description of how the lesson helped you, or(if you are an instructor) why you think it will help students. Again, any tips, or point out any single part of the lesson that helps the most. Theory will be important too, any links to Andrew's theory lessons, or any of your own theory tips will also help.


3) Finally, links to lessons that will show students how to use techniques in context, like song lessons.
Then a description of how the lesson helped you, or(if you are an instructor) why you think it will help students. Again, any tips, or point out any single part of the lesson that helps the most. Theory will be important too, any links to Andrew's theory lessons, or any of your own theory tips will also help.


If you don't know how to do all this formating stuff, quote this post, copy the first lesson plan along with the tags(all the [braketed stuff] stuff), and insert your info. If you have any questions doing this, PM me, or I'm also on MSN messenger.


As you may have realised, very thourough lesson plans will also point out lessons that are missing, and areas of GMC that are thin on lessons. All in all making GMC a better learning tool!


So feel free to post lesson plans on any guitar topic, and I will add them into this post. Don't worry about doubling up on lesson topics, as long as it's different from any previous ones, it will help.


Rock on!

On with the lesson plans!
