Title: Opticraft Guitar competition
Post by: Nick3306 on June 06, 2013, 08:46:55 pm
So basically I am thinking of putting together a guitar competition if enough people are interested, the idea is simple. A backing track will be given and each contestant will have to play over the backing track and upload it somewhere. The best entry wins. There isn't an actual prize and I don't want people who don't think they are good enough at guitar to feel like they shouldnt enter. It is all just for fun and it helps improve technique. It will be like the optirap competition, except with skill.

So anyone interested?

I assume your lack of response implies I can't do it with a trombone?

Well recording drums is a hard thing to do, plus the backing track already has drums.

I can record my drums just fine, and I can play along to the backing track with some extra fills 'n shit. idk, we'll see how it works out =p

I'll think about it Nick. Still not sure, I play piano, guitar, clarinet, drums, and sing too. So if I decide to do it, should I do all of them or just choose 1?

By playing over the track do you mean playing the same tune, or your own?
