***Official M&G Solo Contest Sign-Up***

edited June 2006 in Musicians and Gearheads
Hey guys, I had an idea tonight for a friendly forum contest that suits our forum specifically. The contest will be a solo compitition over a sample track made by me. Then we will vote (how will be determined once we know how many people are interested) and see who currently reigns over the rest of us in the guitar world. heres the details:

a) 3 minute sample track, made by myself, and will be hopefully suited for everyone, we can determine tempo, and what key once everyone signs up

b) all users welcome to perform, or judge

c) the recording quality will not be judged, however, computer based effects are considered to be part of your skill.

d) a list of what gear you played will need to be included, mainly so the Guru's can pick apart your tone.

e) once sample track is sent to participants (via email) they will have a deadline to meet (we will determine the length needed) and they must be in mp3 format.

How is this sounding guys? once a bit of input has been put into this, i wil make the track, host it so you guys can take it, and then i will host the tracks, and voting will commense. Please Sign up Here, and also blast a PM my way with your email address so i can send you the sample track when ready. I'm hoping to get 10 people. (by the way, im participating as well)

tell me what you think

Harrison

    Heh, I doubt I'm good enough to solo.

    I'm in, for whatever that's worth.

    I suggest constructive criticism only as a guideline for a healthy contest.

    I'm in. What about just RIFTW as a backing track? Easy enough, alot you can do with it, etc... Oh and I think Canada's gonna take this.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    It all depends on where you stand on the highly controversial issue of evolution. In other words, it all depends on if you think Bush is a monkey.

    I'd like to, I think it would be fun just to see how far I am, how far I have to go, and how good you all are. I don't know how to do all that computer stuff though, so someone will have to show me how. There is just one question I want to know before I submit my email address. What will the back track be like? Slow and bluesy? Fast and grungy? It all depends on the feel of the song. I dont know, maybe if I heard the progression I could decide if I want to go through with this? Would that be cool Harrison if I PM'ed you my email address, then listened to the progression before deciding on joining?
