Express your thoughts on how to improve this already satisfying site

I don't really know quite where to begin - there's been some very interesting points raised here. If you're reading this Jon though, I just want to tell you that everyone appreciates what you're doing (hell, everyone else for that matter! But I do think Jon deserves some greater credit for all this...)
Login in on the front page - yea, maybe that could be a good idea to get rid of...in defence of it though, it's the perfect time for people to login in to "rate this trick"...Other places on the site could become quite annoying and stuff...plus it's nice to get to the site and to get the login over and done with...
Ummmm...I've actually kinda lost where I was going with this...dang!
Talk amoungst yourselves while I gather my thoughts...(ahem!...)

HAHA!!!
Coffee Talk with Linda Richman!

they should put a jason becker and marty friedman guitar lesson thing i think that would be bad ass :0)

WHY is it that there isnt a JERRY GARCIA inspiration thing!?!?! tell me THAT! lol. seriously jon (right?) Jerry was a legend...cant forget about him on there.

you guys know what im talkin about right? on the main screen where it has all those guys that are 'inspirations'. if chet akins (sp?) is on there then jerry garcia should be

I am a pro guitarist from France, and the dead aren't really known outside of america. I know them because I have studied in the US, but Jerry Garcia, even though he deserves it, doesn't get all the attention that others do. Even pros hardly know of the grateful dead, even music fans... You can sometimes see a poster in a store, but I guess it's like the iron maiden guy, it's only because the dead head looks good.

All that those buttons do though, is to perform a search for whatever name you've selected. Just type Jerry Garcia into the search box and it'll do exactly the same thing.

I just thought of one thing that would greatly improve my enjoyment of the site.
All of the HTML pages are titled 'Guitar Tab at Guitar Tricks'. Whenever you try to use the 'BACK' menu to surf to a previous page, there's no way to distinguish one page from another.

really??? sweet thanks man! never knew bout that!

Very good ideas
I just thought i'd bring up the chat discussion in here since this is the most popular forum
What do you guys think of having a chat room in Guitar tricks?
I vote we should have one but we should have certain times when the chats open so all guitar members meet up instead of having an all hours which will end up destroying the forum board
But as Guitar tricks host "Jon Broderick" pointed out there are a few problems that need to solved first
1. we need alot more particapation if we are going to have a chat room ie. Supervisors and so on
2. Then theres the challenge of finding a free chat since this great site isnt a money making organisation

Say "I" if your willing to take part in making a chat room for Guitar tricks we need all the help we can get
.........I am in :D it would be my pleasure
