Re: Guitarmageddon 2005

I agree with you dude. I played with the disc the night I signed up and didn't think any of the tracks went anywhere. There were a couple that were okay and I picked one of those. As for the "politics" Last year they picked their store guy and the drumoff they also picked their guy. Hmmmm. I think I see a pattern here. Not very fair to anyone is it? I think I'll sign up every year and see how it goes. Or maybe next year I can lie and say I live there and it's a definate win!! You should do it too. There was a couple people who were good but a lot of them should take up sports or something. LOL!

Re: Guitarmageddon 2005

It was fun. At first I really wanted nothing to do with it. People I know were trying to get me to enter last year and I wouldn't. I guess I gave in this year. I actually enjoyed it. I really didn't care if I won or not. I got enough small goodies from winning the store finals anyway. I'd do it again. And thanks for the good reviews.

Re: Guitarmageddon 2005

I won several of those contests in the 80's. If I recall, I also won best guitarist in Westchester County. Usually it was rigged. I still smoked every player I was up against. I used to love making other players wish they had stayed home and practiced. I felt it was kill or be killed and EVERY other guitarist or band was my enemy.I had alot of friends but only off stage. On stage I would tear your friggin head off. I'm glad I don't feel that way anymore.

Re: Guitarmageddon 2005

Very cool track!

Congratulations. From Vai to Queen for me, a lot in between of course. I liked most of it, it gets a little too like a guitar exercise at some places but i loved the melody lines.

Rock on!

Rodrigo.

Re: Guitarmageddon 2005

I judged the store finals in Atlanta, and the same thing happened. The guy who won was awesome, went to the regionals and got beat by some young kid with 1/2 the talent. Seems like the judging gets worse as the competition goes along.

Re: Guitarmageddon 2005

Yeah, that's too bad. But, the one thing that was cool anyway was one of the judges was Gary Hoey.

Re: Guitarmageddon 2005

Thanks! I had a 2 minute solo prepared also, but never recorded it. I remember some of the parts and I'll try to figure out the rest. When I get it, I'll record & post it. There was also another track I had for the second nite which was recorded. I did it on my 4 track and I need to find the tape. I seem to have a problem with labels!

i wouldn't have wanted to go up against you...sounds great to me...great melodies, phrasing, tone...all of it...wow...d.m.

[/ QUOTE ]

+1, really a great groove, and nice phrasing. Very mature playing, shows nice note choice, dynamics, pacing....really displayed nice control. Very little negative I would be able to find with this, in fact it has that ability to draw you in to listening while leaving a feel good effect on ya.

I have ask...is that a ex heavy pick? or a metal one?

Re: Guitarmageddon 2005

For picks I use D'Andrea classic celuloid 1.21 mm. And thanks for not finding anything wrong. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
