[Pedja Simovic]

Fantastic idea guys, have fun with this one!

[Gitarrero]

Though I'm afraid that I'm not skilled enough to master this classic, I will take part in this competition...after a few days of practice!

[Fran]

Awesome initiative IntemperateControl

Looking forward to listen to the takes!

[Crazy_Diamond]

Is there a backin track provided or do we have to find one ouselves ???

[Gitarrero]

I've found one, maybe it would be easier to judge if everybody had the same backing track...hopefully there is a better one than this:

Hmmm, Im sure there are some more backings out there.... Here is one: Another one Anyhow, it seems that most of them are in shuffle versions. I will make one in straight beat and share it here in the following days...

Yeps, Ivan! InTemperate offered a nearly new Wah-wah, so You better start the duck-walk!!!

[Ivan Milenkovic]

Wah wah is a great prize, gotta go practice!

Technically true, Staffay. But I would consider this Vox Wah pedal new - I bought new, not
used or second hand, but I did try it out a few times myself once I got it home. The guy
at Guitar Center also used it once to show me how well it works, but aside of that it's
never been touched and remains in pristine condition. Just for the record, and for the
sake of honesty I wanted to let every one know the facts. Like the shelf life of any guitar
or amp you may buy at a guitar store, chances are many people have picked it up and tried
it out before you ever got there - maybe not those $5,000 + Gibsons though - I think that's
why they put them up so high or behind the counter. I know I've spent hours checking out
and playing numerous guitars at Guitar Center. So anyway, comparative to most instruments
this thing is practically untouched. I wasn't made yesterday, but just as good I think.

Edited date// PS. 18 days left to the contest deadline everybody (February 27, 2010). Winner takes all! Whooo!

Lastly, besides myself I have 2 other student/ GMCrs on the judgment panel and I'm looking for two
more GMCrs and 6 instructors to provide a versatility of judgment for this contest (11 judges total),
preferably but not necessarily to complete the contest - either way the contest will have a winner.
Anyway, the first to post their willingness to be a judge will be a judge here - until the panel is
full. BTW, judges can still take part in the competition but not judge or score on their own takes.
See thread one [page 1] for contest rules and photos of the Vox Wah pedal the winner will receive.

Wah wah is a great prize, gotta go practice!

It would be great to hear your take Ivan! Will you be the first to submit a take? I assume
most rock guitarists have some version of this classic under their belt - it's sure to entertain
most audiences abroad at some point in the show. You rock, man!

It was just a joke ofc! Regardless, I will try to record something, but I don't want to be in competition, will do it for fun! I already have a wah pedal, so it would be fair if someone who hasn't got one to win it.

Of course, fun and creative musicianship is the whole idea. Any one
who participates may win the contest - you can always give the prize
to some one you think should have it if you don't want or need it.
I hope every one who likes rock & roll and appreciates the classics
(students and instructors alike) will find time to share their own
interpretation of the music - no reason for any one to feel guilty
or ashamed of their ability or skill level here. It's about the
music. I'm certainly not getting any monetary gain out of this.
I'm doing this for the music, the prize is just for fun.

Just thought it should be mentioned here too, Staffay just created a couple backings you guys can use for this contest, find them here:

Your version of Johnny B Goode may be in the style of, but at the same time should
be somewhat recognizable as another version of the same song - just not an exact copy
of the original. Improvisation is paramount, with all maintaining that Chuck Berry feel.
"Gotta be Rock-n-Roll music..." Feel free to improvise - nothing super strict here.

[Daniel Realpe]

nice competition...I want to see this
