Toontrack - Metal Guitar God 2013 - Contest

[Lorcan Ward]

Just got an email this morning from Toontrack about another guitar contest with some incredible prizes. Judges are Misha, Chris Broderick and Corey Beaulieu. Only 19 days long too so it shouldn't get swamped with 1000+ entries. Its worldwide too.

Download the modified backtrack for "Erised" by Periphery and record video and/or audio of your solo over it. From there you upload the clip to either your YouTube channel or through this app. Share your clip! The 15 entries with the most votes go through to the judges' round. Tips: Use the original lead (heard here, starting at approx. 02:06) as a foundation, but do your own thing. Technical, simple, fast, slow – it doesn't matter. The point is not to copy the original, it's to stand out. That's what will get you votes – and ultimately make you Metal Guitar God 2013. And of course, get you the grand prize at an estimated value of $4,900 (a brand new Jackson seven-string B7 Deluxe plus an all-metal software/sound package from Toontrack). Find complete info as well as second and third runner up prizes here. What are you waiting for?

Backing track and stuff can be downloaded here:

Damn, man. That would be cool to win, but I'm really not a solo guy at all.

 

[petereanima]

Brace yourselves..."vote for my solo"-threads are coming.

 

[Maniacal]

Great... It's done by votes. No point in entering this one.

 

[RagtimeDandy]

Spent 2 hours trying to get the nuances right so here's my entry (and shot ass camera!)

 

[Randyrhoads123]

Yeah, the votes thing is a little annoying. Hard to get yourself out there without much of an online presence :/

Still gonna enter though!

 

[TheOddGoat]

Took a shot!

 

[welsh_7stinger]

What you lot think? be honest. a thin skinned musician should just quit

 

[Sebazz1998]

What are the key changes?

 

[Lord Voldemort]

I did mine, as well. I didn't have much time to throw it together, though. Crying baby.

 

[Shammas]

Since we're all posting ours in this thread, I'd better hop on board!

I really like OddGoat's out of all the ones in this thread.

What are the key changes?

You just plug a synthaxe into a midi interface and quantize the hydrophony.

 

[Dan2]

Here's mine. Those progressions are pretty tough to navigate, but it got me out of the comfort zone! Played on an Ibanez RG8420 J-Custom on the neck pickup (EMG 85) into an Axe Fx II.

I hate how everything is based around leads and solos.

 

[Splenetic]

.... that even 5k aint worth playing along with this shite.


Flame away....

 

[vilk]

I've been watching loads of these when I get the time. I can definitely say the contributions in this thread so far blow away at least half of them. I'm sure an SSOer is going to win. So far I think Lord Voldemort has the best one out of all I've seen.

 

[Taylord]

Some of these entries are pretty cool! Hopefully the Ever Forthright guy doesn't enter haha.

 

[Lord Voldemort]

damn dude that was sick

Thank you man!
