Title: Categorised posts in Players Forum
Post by: Ol on January 06, 2010, 04:06:22 PM: We are thinking of implementing categorised posts in the Player's Forum. i.e. One category for Cold Sweat, another for Mississippi Queen etc.

Advantage - easy to find clips for a specific pickup

Disadvantage - perhaps harder to follow new posts?

What do you reckon?

(If we go ahead with this, would any volunteers able to help us share the workload of categorising all the posts kindly PM me?. Thanks)

Maybe in some sort of sub forum format.

Only issue is if someone uses mixes like CS Neck/Warpic Bridge ... where to put the clips then?

Post by: Dr. Stein on January 10, 2010, 05:18:50 PM: What about a split between more general categories - Tele/Strat/Low output humbuckers/mid/high(/comparisons)?

There would be less problems from people using different pickups on the same track then and it would still be useful for someone looking at new pickups. It would also mean a slightly less daunting list of subforums.

Post by: Jonny on January 12, 2010, 10:54:24 PM: If it's two different pickups the demo ought to be focused on one pickup, then submit another clip. It makes sense as it is more focused and choices on pickups can be made more easily. Plus you could link the other pickups you used and your other videos that could present that pickup better.

However if you're just focusing on a one pickup, it might be very bland if it's just rhythm, or just a lead and with a lead you'd need a rhythm anyways so I dunno how to manage that.

This doesn't work when people like me play brutality on black dogs...
