“Strings on Fire” with Herman Li - Guitar Solo Contest
Posted by Jon in •
Thats right, yet another YouTube shredder contest I hear you sigh but this competition does have a great prize, an Ibanez ART300 BBC signed by Herman Li of Dragonforce as well as a copy of Chris Feener’s Best Of album. 2nd place runners up also win a copy of Chris’ album plus an Ibanez TS7 Tubescreamer pedal and 3rd place will get an Ibanez LU20 guitar tuner and a copy of Chris’ album. All you have to do is head over to PetrucciFever’s competition video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srKWOD9j6aY download the backing track and then either film yourself soloing over the track or do what I did and record a solo then make a slideshow to make the video less black screeny! Then just upload to YouTube and post it as a response to the contest video. Yeah ok I didn’t manage a single take, I’m only in it for fun anyway I don’t stand much of a chance against the calibre of shredders that have already entered, but don’t let that put you off it is a fun thing to do and you will look back at this recording when the next competition comes around and see how far you have improved.
Judges include Herman Li, Chris Feener, Guitar Idol winner Jack Thammarat, and fellow guitar blogger mr Truth In Shredding himself Laurie Monk (http://truthinshredding.blogspot.com).
