Hello my dear kittens,
First of all, I want to tell you all how amazed I am about the interaction on here. We're making friends, making music, making history, making jokes.
Some students I've had to issue warnings to, and I want you all to know how much I appreciate the fact that you all have respected my role here. I haven't had any sass back and that makes me feel happy. If I ever start to come off like a tyrant or unfair, please make sure you voice your opinion to me directly. I promise I won't spit acid in your face. I only do that at 5am when I get woken up.
Secondly: While I am amazed at the interaction on the forums and lesson discussions, the riff page is getting about 1% of that attention. Students are kicking ass on their originals, they're trying new things, and even offering guitar tricks and tips. But there's hardly any interaction there. One thing that helped me improve was constructive feedback. If a student can improve on their playing, tell them. After all, we're guitarists. Our playing needs to have as much attention as our questions and our mutual love for Nickelback. Right @Edward John and @Dominik Gräber ?
I'm guilty of this as well. Hell, there's so much content and interaction on here there's no way I can be as active on here as what I use to be. But I finally set time aside to check out the riff section and it saddened me it's not getting as much attention as the forum section.
I'm also happy to say that the etudes for the beginners are coming along great and hopefully the beginners get excited about them!
All in all...
Go kick ass
