Guitar Player’s Guitar Superstar Competition 2009



Jim Fuselli, rock critic of the Wall Street Journal wrote about last year’s competition: “…I admired the contestants. With their reputations on the line in front of Mr. Satriani, Mr. Vai and the other judges, they performed with conviction.”

Vicki Genfan, the reigning Guitar Superstar, will perform at the competition before handing over her crown, and will also play on Sunday, September 13 at 3 pm along with Laurence Juber and Jennifer Batten.

“It’s a dream to launch a weekend-long celebration of guitar with Guitar Player LIVE! and our fifth Guitar Superstar event,” says Guitar Player Editor in Chief Michael Molenda. “If you’re a guitar zealot, it’s like some 6-string Woodstock—total badass madness, from Friday night’s opening Shrapnel Records concern starring Richie Kotzen, Michael Lee Firkins, and Chris Duarte, to bands rockin’ hard all along the Livermore plaza, to Guitar Superstar on Saturday, to Sunday’s Triple Threat Guitar show with GPGS 08 champ Vicki Genfan, Jennifer Batten, and Laurence Juber.”

The ten finalists, representing a wide range of guitar styles ranging from rock to country are:

Dave Benzinger, Brodie Cumming , Brian Davidson, Hercules Castro, Danny Jones, Steve Langemo, Steve Senes, Krisz Simonfalvi, Doug Towle, and Jeff Zampillo.

The contestants will perform with the GPGS house band Thud Factor, music directed by Bass Player Editor Jonathan Herrera.

All ten contestants receive an all-expenses paid trip to the San Francisco Bay Area. The winner, First Runner-Up and Second Runner-Up of the event will receive custom trophies and complete gear packages. The champion will receive a feature article in Guitar Player magazine and prizes from event sponsors—including Harman International–Digitech, Mesa Boogie, Taylor Guitars, D'Addario, Planet Waves, GBase, Line 6, Sennheiser, Washburn, Randall and Gallien Kruger.

The competition takes place Saturday, September 12, 2009, 8:00 p.m. at the Bankhead Theater, Livermore Valley Performing Arts Center, 2400 First Street, Livermore, California. Admission $23.00. Tickets can be ordered online at www.bankheadtheater.org or call 925-373-6800.

Background:
Danny Jones is a smooth rock guitarist from Northern California. He started playing guitar from the age of 12 and is a childhood friend Larry Lalonde of Primus, who inspired him to play guitar.

He took his new found obsession with the guitar practising and getting lessons with a local guitarist. He began to play jazz standards, classical and country guitar. He then went on to study with Joe Satriani. As with other guitarists, Joe had a major impact on his playing and composition in particular.

In the 90's he won the "Best of the Bay" contest two years in a row and has also appeared in Guitar World and Guitar for the practicing musician magazines. Check out his web site for a more complete bio.

He has a number of CDs: "Over The Edge" and "Finding My Way" which you can buy
or you can check out some of his mp3's
