Hi everybody,
Let me join in on this topic with some thoughts of my own...
Guitarmasterclass was recommended to me by a friend who has been a member for many years (Kris and Monica probably know of whom I'm talking about but it's not really important
)
If GMC was not recommended to me by this friend, I would have never joined GMC by only looking at the website. Because of the structure and the overall 'look' and 'feel' and the way I have to navigate trough the website also don't appeal to me.
But luckily I have listended to my friend and disregard my feelings upon the view of the website and joined anyway. The first months I had a bit of a struggle of finding my way around using the website. But with some help from Monica and some own effort I'm now familiar with the website.
I am aware and it is obvious that GMC is not run by a team but by mainly one person and that's Kris. So one can not expect a flashing website with little amount of financial recourses.
The main reason why I'm still at GMC, although I have noticed a low amount of students and low activity in general on all the fora here on GMC, the heart of GMC is what keeps me here. I agree with Manu... only the open-minded and humble guitar players join GMC.
It's my collaboration with Monica, who's is gold for me, that keeps me here. And also te way the lessons are build up, the way I'm being guided, and so many more great things that this website futures are reasons why I'm still happy I joined GMC and looked past the 'front' of the GMC website. My progress in 9 months is prove of the fact that GMC works!
I wish I'd joined GMC 10 years ago because I can tell there was a very active community here with great instructors. But I'm sure things can turn around. I notice Kris' efforts to make publicity every day and I hope it will pay of. It would be great to see a revival of this community.
But in the meantime we keep on rocking and keep the GMC family alive
Cheers,
Gert
