Since a few months ago our lesson video player has increased in size and the lesson page has got new tabs to make finding similar lessons easier, as well as share our favourite lessons with friends and even take our notes, etc.
Latest addition to these cool tabs is the much needed Community Tab, which should bring even more life to both our great forums and Wiki.
Click on the Community Tab and GMC's smart engine will show you interesting forum threads regarding the lesson, and also any wiki article related. It even has a Create Wiki link in case it didn't exist yet!
And that's not all, we leave the best for the end: just as you can do in youtube when you watch a video now you can add a video response to your favourite lessons!, post your own takes, ask your doubts or even show the solo you just improvised over GMC backings... possibilities are endless.

Cliffs Of Dover Video Collaboration
GMC:ers are amazing. And This Video proves it!
A bunch of members decided to record the great Cliffs Of Dover together a while ago, and today they share their finished Video Project with us. In words of Praetorian, who started it all:
"This collab was a blast! I had a great time putting it together, and I hope you guys had a great time playing in it! I thought everyone did great...but am leaving the comments up to Ivan! This was my first video editing collab so I am sure some video experts would be able to find some faults...but I loved doing it! Hope you guys enjoy it!"
Three Finished Collabs to welcome 2009
Our dear instructors and members never rest, and today three different finished collabs see the light, covering three different genres: Funk, rock and metal.
Pedja Simovic's Funk Rock collab with 19 participants can be downloaded Here
Ivan Milenkovic's Christmas Rock Video collab features 13 different rocking solos in a video you shold not miss, watch it Here
Joe Kataldo's Pure Steel Metal collab joined 16 GMC:ers can be heard Here
As usual, you can keep track of all GMC finished collabs in This Thread, where you'll find detailed information plus comments, sound and/or videos.
Just when you think things can't get better, Andrew Cockburn delivers GMC Shredcast #1. And I wonder how could an amazing community such as GMC have gone so far without coming up with such a great idea!
So don't wait any longer, go ahead and grab the inaugural Shredcast episode HERE! - Forum Thread HERE
We all enjoy Kris famous "Licks of the day", and sometimes wish there were even more; Velvet Roger has recently come up with a really cool idea: a Student's Lick of the Day database!

And, of course, you can enter your own licks in This Thread
Information about the Student's Lick of the Day and how it works can be found Here

What would you say if three of our argentinian instructors would come together to make a christmas song in honour for GMC?
If you would say: "That's crazy! Such Awesomeness dipped in Win-sauce would be impossible to go through with!" ... you would be WRONG!
With Lian Gerbino on guitar and growling vocals, Luciana Segovia on drums and clean vocals, and Gabriel Leopardi on lead guitar and backing vocals, they have made a song called "Where is Santa" which can be heard here!
