News: Guitar Idol 2010 - Think song first!


Guitar Idol 2010 is well under way. I've been trying to keep up with the videos being added... but it's a tough job. I'll be publishing the better new videos when they are posted. Well there are 83 videos added as I type.

Now if you are entering, try and think of this is an opportunity to showcase your song writing abilities and layer that with your guitar skills. It really is important to create a memorable tune, rather than just shredding over a drone. This is reiterated in the competition rules. So think long and hard about delivering a tune first!

Guitar Idol 2010 – The Rules
Compose an original guitar composition that showcases your guitar playing and musical ability to the max! You can use any jam tracks and backing tracks of generic rock, blues, metal etc grooves, but the guitar part that you are playing must be an original composition

What are we looking for:
Originality, technical dexterity, strong compositional and stylistic ability, taste, feel and phrasing.


These are the full rules for the competition: http://guitaridol.tv/rules
