Building Up The Community

[admin]

Hey guys,

this website is going to a next phase after a phase of around 4 years where I was building up the whole Guitar Academy with content which offer you guys the full scale of music education. I can tell that the most really essential topics are now here and represented and for all beginner - advanced players the system is complete that it can be full operational.

Now comes the phase were we can start working as a community. What is the benefit of a community ? Together we are stronger because we can share our experience and our knowledge. I did the best to cover all the professional needed topics in the academy but the human interaction is also an important part of the learning process on the guitar journey. I made the system in a way now that everybody can get a benefit from this community. So let me share the available features and thoughts on that :

Guitar Students Club

This is your part on this website where you guys can talk about anything related to music, guitar playing or thoughts about music. I want to keep it only on this topic because todays online communities have a real problem which discussions which get out of balance very quickly. Even in the chat of my morning coffee game which I am playing people start to attack eachother about nothing. Thats something I don't want to see here. Respect and tolerance have to be first even if you don't agree with something somebody posted. If everybody follows that simple rule then all will be fine and you guys can communicate with eachother.

Blogs

For the blogs there is the same thing. The only difference is that you have your own account and your own profile and your own link and this area is more private and only for premium members. When it comes to problems and questions about your own guitar journey I will be reading your entries and give you some advice which tutorials are there to help you on your personal current standing on your guitar journey and of course I enjoy knowing more about you guys - so any kind of life stories with your guitar is most welcome there.

I have wrote a version of the community guidelines - I hope this is enough to protect the community from any kind damage. Too bad that there even have to be rules :

Quote

7. Community Guidelines for the HPCrazy Students or Farbmusik Club : Any member can open any post they want as long as it is around the topics : music, guitar playing, personal life experience, personal music experience, personal guitar experience, selfpromotion or has something to do with the topics you find here. Political topics are not tolerated at all and get deleted. Stay polite and respectful with each other. Any kind of personal attacks will not be tolerated. If somebody breaks the rules you first get 2 warnings. A 3rd strike will result into getting your profile blocked or if you wish terminated - even if you are a premium member. These rules are also valid for your personal blogs. There are no refunds if somebody gets blocked with a premium member account. It's bad enough that this is a topic where rules have to be set these days.

So that's all for the moment - I hope the community starts to grow and interact in nice and friendly way.

Perhaps a collaboration idea could be to have an area where someone could post a track that they create. Then other members can add to it. 

Not sure... just an area specifically for community collaboration?

Just a thought. Looking forward to seeing the community grow.

Thats a great idea - or also students could share what they are working on - something like - look I am working on this tutorial and that's how it sounds at the moment.

Exactly! Encouraging constructive feedback or just sharing our personal progress.
