EDIT: Oh, I just read the member interviews idea. I like that. I'd be willing to do something like that too, if you want.

Just about anything that would generate interest in readers would be cool.
Doing blurbs about various jokes would be ok, but at the same time we're trying to attract new subscribers interested in reading about new equipment reviews, playing techniques, tips and tricks related to certain lessons in the instructor sections...
We're trying to attract people who like to talk about guitar, equipment and recording techniques without resorting to the usual nonsense and flaming you get from other newsgroups. For instance, somebody post a serious question about picking techniques.... on some other newsgroups you get stupid replies like "hey... use a smaller pick dummy, or clean your fingers dummy....".

We'd rather have our members go into detail about how to hold a pick... show some .jpg pictures as examples... show a video on how to use it....and provide an MP3 on what it should sound like.


to finishe things off... if you have any problems or something like a video doesn't display properly... just email the author and we'll not only fix it for you but probably improve on it for you.
