New School Launches!

[Jak Angelescu]

What's up $ynners?! We all appreciate how patient you have been while the team has worked diligently to bring you this new and improved school. Of course, there are DOZENS of new features to improve your learning experience. Feel free to snoop around, poke around and explore. If you have any questions please drop a comment below! I'll be doing a tutorial on the new website very soon!
Also, please stay tuned for the badass blues series by Papa Gates!

Woooot

 

[Andrew Fernandes]

Thanks, Jak! Are there any changes for the social side as I know we can follow people. So does the following of people have any features?

 

[Ed Seith]

Looks KILLER! Can't wait to discover the new shit over the next few days and weeks!

 

[Mike Creuzer]

Check out the dark mode! Its at the bottom.

 

[Donovan Etue]

I like the new look! Grouping together lessons in the way they have definitely seems like an easier way to move through site. Excited to see the blues lessons from Papa Gates are coming!

 

[Andrew Fernandes]

Ok sorry, I think I found out about the followers part it's kinda like facebook. Will our old followers, come back because I think its reset. The site looks very cool. I like the new look. I'm interested in this point system also.

 

[Jak Angelescu]

The biggest coolest thing is that you actually do have what is like a Facebook profile now. You can also follow each other and get alerts for whenever somebody posts a new forum topic, post on their profile page, comment or post a new riff. You can also subscribe and favorite and save riffs that you like that you find helpful And archive them for future references. There's also a really incredible new feature where you can rate videos, and earn trophies and earn points to become a Master Shredder. I will be creating new forum categories and subcategories over the next couple of days for you guys. So if there's anything of a category that you want to see especially, let me know!

I work with the team that helped and I do not believe we're able to save the followers. Visit any profile and there should be a follow link there to start. You can also limit who sees your profile and such based on your preference of whether you follow them or not. Kinda like friends on FB but much simpler.

ETA @Jak Angelescu ninja'd me...

Ok thanks, I only asked because I had Synyster Gates following me on here before. Is he still on this site? I can't find his account.
