Signed up for GUITARMAGEDDON today ...

TwilightOdyssey

Darkness on the edge of Tone
I'll be competing on March 15th. I hold no illusions that I will win, but I'm doing it for fun, because a friend of mine wants to compete and he doesn't want to do it alone. (A likely story, right? :) ) He shreds like he has 20 fingers, so I know I don't stand a chance.

The Guitarmageddon CD has 19 tracks on it, with all sorts of styles. I prefer the slower rock numbers, myself, since it's easier to be melodic.

You're supposed to play to one backing track and then play solo for 2 MINUTES!!! That's an eternity for wanking! I'm going to use my Loop Station and just tell em it's my chorus pedal. :D Then I will play a riff, sample it in real time, and solo over it. This will immediate disqualify me, but, hey -- that's rock and roll!!

Woah, I didn't know we had to play solo for 2 minutes...I'm competing on March 1st.

I don't think the rules say anything about loop pedals, just that any pedals have to be able to be setup in 5 minutes.

I'm using track #2, the "Hard Rock" in E minor...although that might change between then and now.

theres nothing wrong with looping! (I use a DL-4 and a Digital Echoplex for looping).

Are the tracks the same as last year's and the year before? I haven't decided if I'm going to do it this year or not....

Sorry, I don't know. I usually avoid Guitarmageddon like the plague!

hehe, i loved it =)

i wish i had a decent backing track that i could have slapped into the PA and do my stuff over it, but it was major fun nonetheless
