Portal:Student Instructors

Do you want to be a Teacher as well as a Student?

We have some awesome instructors here at GMC, but it doesn't stop there - we also have some very talented and advanced students as well. Everyone has something that they can teach to others. Different people have different perspectives and 10 people will teach the same skill in 10 different ways - one of these ways may work for someone that has missed the point in the 9 other ways!

The idea of this page is to generate a community of Student Instructors that produce high quality lessons to pass on their insight to the GMC students.

"Maybe this is the first scale we all learn. The thing is that a lot of us , learn only the first position on the minor pentatonic scale. In this lesson you will find a simple excercise to learn the 5 positions of the pentatonic scale over a cool rock backing track, we'll learn it over the G minor pentatonic scale, that way we can cover the whole neck. Let's take a look at the main video and then we'll continue explaining the whole lesson."

Def Leppard Style by Chris Evans

"A little while back someone said he'd like a lesson "In the style of Def Leppard", I`ve been working a little while on getting one to sound similar! It's more from the Steve Clark(rip)/Phil Collen days in my opinion, anyways I hope you like, I gave it my best shot, Not a difficult piece to play, so everyone should be able to have a shot at this one too.

"With this and upcoming articles I want to share some of my knowledge about this wonderful kind of music - and even though Im not playing it myself rather than occasionally these days, I hope that it will be inspiring for some of you to read."
