Guitar Master Class: Review & Giveaway

Guitar Master Class: Free 40 Techniques Solo Lesson

(This giveaway is now closed… The 3 lucky winners have now been emailed. Thanks to all the participants.)

It’s the first weekend of June

and I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the work that needs to be done around the house. There’s enough yard-work, cleaning, painting, repairing and all round fine tuning to keep me busy the entire summer… Oh, and my golden retriever Lucille doesn’t smell too great either.

So what am I doing to tackle some of these arduous tasks? Well… Actually at the moment I’m messing around on this really cool website called Guitar Master Class. This site provides cleaver online guitar lessons utilizing videos, sound, and tablature files. It also features some very creative playing and an active community of avid guitar fanatics of all skill levels…

Guitar Master Class

Now, I’m not a guitar player, (albeit sometimes I pretend to be when no one’s looking) but Guitar Master Class really beckoned me to grab my cheap old party guitar that’s been hanging around untouched for the last 3 years. After a bit of dusting and some serious tuning I was ready to explore…

I skimmed through a lesson that captured my interest called Blues Intro. This is by the same instructor Sinisa Cekic that you see on GMC’s new free-for-all lesson called 40 Techniques-Solo – which is featured in the video above. I stopped by one of the live instructional video chat rooms with Alex Feather and also checked out some of the playing at the extremely advanced and insane level, just out of curiosity.

Yes, I know what you’re thinking, “Isn’t my wife (aka TBBW) going to be surprised when she discovers just how much work is getting done around the house?…”

(sigh) Anyways…

Each lesson is separated into small parts, with the first video giving you a solid idea of what it should sound like when you put it all together.  Even if you don’t become a member you’ll still be able to view a couple of the videos in each lesson, which for many of you will be sufficient.  Of course as a paying member, you’ll get access to all the lessons as well as additional notes and tablature and a whole host of other benefits such as: Lick of the Day Archives, Instructor Feedback, and ways to collaborate by joining virtual bands or participate in online performances.

GMC is a very friendly and enthusiastic community. I found it difficult to pull myself away as there were so many things to do and explore.  They have a wide range of options, styles and lessons are rated in difficulty level from 1-9. There’s enough material here to keep a guitar lover enthralled all summer long… With a little practice and patience you’ll be putting the pieces together and sounding really sweet in no time…

Speaking of time that reminds me, I better put the guitar aside and do something productive around the house. Perhaps I’ll give my dog Lucille a bath as she’s starting to smell like a catfish… But I’ll be back to continue my blues lessons and perhaps a few other instructional videos I may discover as I continue to search through the site further.

But Before I Go…

I would love the opportunity to receive a years lessons on Guitar Master Class. I once played professionally about thirty years ago, quit for the usual reasons, have always regretted it and am now finally trying to find some chops again. I guarantee the lessons would be put to good use, just to get a geezer playing again.

Best regards,

Bill
