Ok, here is my take at the Winter Wonderland arrangement. Overall quality not too good (movie and playing ) but wanted to use this take given the accidental face-coverage of my youngest daughter dancing in the background
Posted by: Staffy Dec 27 2009, 02:59 PM
Prizeless!! Yeah, the kids really like when daddy rocks!! (in that age.... )

Yeah, obviously I asked them to join in the vid to distract the viewer from the mistakes I make
Posted by: Hammerhead Dec 27 2009, 08:14 PM
Rik,
nice take... I think you get extra points for the back-up dancers in your video 
Posted by: Rik Veldhuizen Dec 27 2009, 08:17 PM
thanks.. guess I need them to generate a lot of extra points then 
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Dec 27 2009, 08:43 PM
Great takes guys!! I love the personal touch in Victor's take (very interesting ideas!) and the dancers in Rik's one!
Good job!!!
Posted by: Marc_Maiden Dec 27 2009, 08:51 PM

i dont have cute daughters to distract people from MY mistakes!
UGH
Posted by: Rik Veldhuizen Dec 27 2009, 09:19 PM

Posted by: Rik Veldhuizen Dec 28 2009, 09:52 PM

) but wanted to use this take given the accidental face-coverage of my youngest daughter dancing in the background hahaha . Awesome.. that was amazing .. whether you win or not .. you've captured a magical moment in that vid .. cherish it
Posted by: Praetorian Dec 29 2009, 07:57 PM
Awesome video Rik! Nothing better than little kids in the house!
Here is my take of Jingle Bells...hope you like it!
Posted by: Rik Veldhuizen Dec 29 2009, 08:18 PM
nice take, Ben...! I did expect to see your kids in the vid however
Posted by: Praetorian Dec 29 2009, 08:26 PM
lol...I thought about it - but they had to be put upstairs with my wife so I could play in peace! It's hard to play while having this screamed in your ears - "DAD!! WHEN IS IT GOING TO BE MY TURN WITH THE GUITAR?!?!"

My entry for the intermediate group. Not perfect, but good enough for me..
Posted by: Rik Veldhuizen Dec 30 2009, 01:13 PM
Nice!
Aargh, I hate competition
Posted by: Marek Rojewski Dec 30 2009, 01:15 PM
I was trying to figure out something as cool as Your children dancing, but dressing like Santa Clause was to much for me, and I had no other ways of improving my image:P

Bravo, Marek !

Here's my take on the intermediate level Good luck to everyone! And I hope we'll see more takes!
Posted by: Rik Veldhuizen Dec 30 2009, 06:23 PM
that was great!
Posted by: ruben_mcn Dec 30 2009, 06:58 PM
HI Guys ,
here is my take of Jingle Bells =) it was really fun to do hope u enjoy it ... Good Luck to everyone!
Posted by: kaznie_NL Dec 30 2009, 07:31 PM
@Dexxter ..... Why... why... now my chances are very small Very nice take dude! Why didn't you try the advanced level? haha
My take peeps:
I'd really like some comments on my posture and technique, because I'll pause playing guitar for a week or something from now on, because I have shoulder aches, and I think it's kinda like shoulder tendonitis So, some posture tips could help
Posted by: Hammerhead Dec 30 2009, 08:13 PM
WOW!!!
Great Jobs everybody THis is great fun to watch!!! I like all of them... the dancers and the snowflakes and even the videos with just the playing. It's all great
Posted by: Robs901 Dec 30 2009, 09:30 PM
Hey im new on this website and i will start with introducing myself.
My Name is Robert Hübner and im from Germany.
I play guitar now since 3 years and i wanted to test my self at this competition.
I used a crappy camera...because i got nothing else..hope you like it anyhow
Posted by: Dexxter Dec 30 2009, 10:35 PM
Thanks man, enjoyed yours too
One more point for you with your dancing daughter, but I'm too young to have kids anyway haha Very nice take dude! Why didn't you try the advanced level? haha Haha, it's too hard for me. I'm in the annoying "in between" level
I don't see what's so different between yours and mine but thanks So, some posture tips could help Don't flip your head back like that when you bend, it can cause serious injury in the neck and shoulders... haha just kidding
Seriously though I don't have any tips, sorry
Posted by: superize Dec 30 2009, 10:51 PM

Welcome man
Very nice technique you got there! The only thing to work on is phrasing IMO. Some vibrato couldn't hurt Anywayz, those alternate picking runs are very nice!!
Posted by: kaznie_NL Dec 31 2009, 08:36 PM
Just a few hours remaining.... EXCITING!!
Posted by: ruben_mcn Dec 31 2009, 09:30 PM
REALLY EXCITING =)

Here is my Take on the Beginner Level...Jingle Bells:
Much luck to everybody and a happy new year. Great takes here.
Posted by: ruben_mcn Dec 31 2009, 11:14 PM
Almost new year =)

Sentenced .. s your guitar an ibanez rg 2550 z ??? is it nice ??? (i mean can u play it nicely ?? ) does i sound good ???
Posted by: Sentenced Jan 1 2010, 12:51 AM
Its a RG 2550, but not the "Z" Edition, its the version before the "Z", but the differences arent that big, just some extra feautures on the tremolo systems i think. If it sounds good you decide better yourself, just watch some of my youtube videos ;-) I think its a nice guitar, but quite expensive. BTW: Happy new year
Posted by: ruben_mcn Jan 1 2010, 01:03 AM
Thanks man i found a used one that´s very cheap =) i think i´m going to buy it
Posted by: Rik Veldhuizen Jan 1 2010, 02:43 AM
happy new year to you all at gmc!
Posted by: ruben_mcn Jan 1 2010, 03:25 AM
Happy new year =)
Posted by: Praetorian Jan 1 2010, 03:55 AM
Happy New Year to everyone on the European side of the ocean! We still have a couple hours of 2009 here in the States!
Posted by: Robs901 Jan 1 2010, 07:48 PM

Yeah your right...a friend of mine ( of course a guitar player ^^) said that he misses some vibrato...i play some vibrato but i think because of the bad quality you cant hear some of this and this was my...i dont know...20th take and maybe i just forgot some vibratos i played while i practiced^^
Srry for the bad english
*Edit* Thank you for the reply so i can work on this "problem"^^ and become better!
Happy new Year
