Says- access is denied.
did you just upload that video? or enter it.
And did you get the guitar yet?
Posted by: Muris Apr 11 2008, 12:20 AM
Ahh,it might need some time to go live,try later and many thanks!!
Posted by: Trond Vold Apr 11 2008, 12:20 AM
Wow.. what a cool idea
I cant watch your video though, i have registered and logged in, but gives me access denied
Posted by: coffeeman Apr 11 2008, 12:37 AM
I have seen a couple of entries , but I cant find yours muris, maybe you should contact the webpage, because the time is running and the other guys are receiving votes, and of course we want u to win this competition.
Posted by: Muris Apr 11 2008, 01:05 AM
I believe I saw announce which says that each entry
needs few hours or som for processing before it goes live.
So I'm sure it'll be there soon,thanks tho!
Posted by: UncleSkillet Apr 11 2008, 02:28 AM
It's been a few hours and I still get the same thing. Maybe you should check. You posted at 7:14pm and it is 9:26 now (here anyway). Their servers might be getting pounded also.
You’re the man Mirus, got my vote!
Posted by: UncleSkillet Apr 11 2008, 02:38 AM
Their are 66 entries showing total and I don't see yours . Rules don't have a limit on how many can enter. Probably will show up, but like you said may just take some time. Servers are getting hammered right now.
Posted by: Smikey2006 Apr 11 2008, 03:05 AM
uve got my vote.. some of these guys are good.. but they've got nothing on you
Posted by: Trond Vold Apr 11 2008, 03:28 AM
Was about to say something similar. Some good entries, but i dont think it will be any contest
Edit: Just saw that Mattias Kupiainen had a great entry!
Posted by: Unleash-The-Shred Apr 11 2008, 03:35 AM
Congrats on the win in the other contest. I'll vote for this one too. What exactly did you win in the Steve Vai contest, a JEM I'm guessing?
Posted by: audiopaal Apr 11 2008, 07:08 AM
Still unauthorized to view the page...
But I'll wait and vote for you when I get access
Posted by: Smells Apr 11 2008, 10:50 AM
Voted 
Prizes not yet announced I noticed, but looks like you`ll be playing that night and possibly picking up a PRS as well as the Jem then 
good luck mate!
Posted by: superize Apr 11 2008, 10:57 AM
You got my vote
Posted by: ZakkWylde Apr 11 2008, 11:01 AM
Voted, but I want a lesson on all those INCREDIBLE Awesome Licks and Guitar Tricks you did in you Entry in return for my vote...
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Apr 11 2008, 11:04 AM
I just voted for you
Posted by: Sam Hook Apr 11 2008, 11:10 AM
I voted, great entry!
Posted by: Iluha Apr 11 2008, 11:11 AM
Again, if you don't win I'll be shocked, that was just phenomenal, and even though the competition here is much harder(some really great recordings in this one) than the Vai competition, you still blew all the other entries away!
Posted by: Milenkovic Ivan Apr 11 2008, 11:12 AM
Seems like you're making a collection of high end guitars there my friend. You got my vote too
Posted by: Trond Vold Apr 11 2008, 11:17 AM
Damn nice! Offcourse i voted
Future online guitar-competitions will probably have a "No Muris's Allowed!" in the rules from now on
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Apr 11 2008, 11:18 AM

Cool tune Muris
But what is that white thing on your headstock ? 
Posted by: DeepRoots Apr 11 2008, 04:17 PM
Its a dampener i believe- Michael Angelo Batio uses one (that he invented??)...i'd love to have a link to where to pick one up though...
(beats using an old sock anyhow )
Posted by: Muris Varajic Apr 11 2008, 04:34 PM
Yeah,that's MAB dampener,http://www.angelo.com/html/the_mab_string_dampener.html is link for it.
Btw,I'm using it only for really tricky 2 handed stuff,
no need for it here.
Posted by: audiopaal Apr 11 2008, 05:36 PM
Oh my god..
That's the sickest playing I've ever seen (I mean that in a good way)
Wow Muris, if you don't win with that entry I'd be shocked!
...oh, and I voted of course
Posted by: Muris Varajic Apr 12 2008, 02:19 AM
Thanks Paal,well appreciated!

Posted by: Smikey2006 Apr 12 2008, 02:49 AM
my vote.. is your vote your clearly the best. ive watched all the entries.. most original too.. the mixture of all the genres was awsome .. i was skeptical tho.. for some reason your intro sounded very heavy in effects and seemed like u were masking bad chords or something even tho we know your not capable of bad playing
BEST OF LUCK!
Posted by: UncleSkillet Apr 12 2008, 02:57 AM
My vote for you is registered and locked in! Amazing job Mirus. I am proud to say I know you (and have one of your picks).
Posted by: Darfuria Apr 12 2008, 02:58 AM
That tapping harmonics lick you played around 1:20 was just pure genius. I loved that. Best of luck!

Ahhh,of course,it sounds like I have tons of Flanger on,right?
That is good old Youtube,converts all stereo files into mono,
and when you have stereo Chorus,well,you hear the Youtube result.
Thanks tho!!!

That was sooooooooo good, Vote done
Posted by: tonymiro Apr 12 2008, 09:27 AM
Wonderful entry - and title Muris , 'Junk Medley' - really like the 'East European' vibe to it. Definitely got my vote and I'm sure it will win, it certainly should as it's excellent playing .
Cheers,
Tony
Posted by: Muris Varajic Apr 12 2008, 04:09 PM
Thanks guys,it means a lot!!
Yeah,Yotube ruins audio indeed.

Many thanks guys!
Posted by: DeepRoots Apr 13 2008, 06:42 PM
Looking at the prizes...as well as the gear; there is quite alot of publicity involved with the magazines etc- this could be a huge opportunity for your Muris! Best of luck again
Posted by: Tjchep Apr 13 2008, 06:58 PM
Well..
I hope you like interviews. I'm sure you'll be getting alot after you've won .
Amazing stuff as always, never cease to please. Voted.

Posted by: Tjchep Apr 13 2008, 11:39 PM
So muris.
Whether you win or not you will still be going to the London guitar show or whatever it is to get your jem correct?
Posted by: g-forcelover Apr 13 2008, 11:40 PM
voted for the third time!
Posted by: Muris Varajic Apr 14 2008, 02:56 AM
Whether you win or not you will still be going to the London guitar show or whatever it is to get your jem correct?
Of course,I won Jem on another competition,it has nothing to do with Guitar Idol.
Thanks guys,support well appreciated!!!
Ohhh,you don't have to do all that,one is more than just great
Posted by: Stevie·Ray·Vaughn Apr 14 2008, 02:58 AM
Ahhh, I was bored, so I thought I'd open one with all the different emails I'd ever had
Posted by: Muris Varajic Apr 14 2008, 03:02 AM
Thanks,hope my video hasn't bored you a lot.
Posted by: Stevie·Ray·Vaughn Apr 14 2008, 03:14 AM
Never!
I would just really like to see you win It could be your big break, and trust me, you deserve one
Posted by: Trond Vold Apr 14 2008, 03:28 AM
After digging through most of the entries, i see 3 obvious toppers.. Chris Feener's entry, Matias Kupiainen's entry and yours Muris.
Yours had the really cool aspect of being a medley with some unusual styles, and showing that you master them, which will definetly put you ahead of the others. (Atleast if i were a judge)
Rick Renstrom should get something too.. the guy is practically armless!
Posted by: wrk Apr 14 2008, 08:14 AM

I agree with your selection, Chris Feener seems to be a really good player. I have seen some videos of him before on youtube. I really like his version of Groove or Die (Andy Timmons). His entry to the competition starts really well, but gets a little bit boring to the end.
Kupiainen is really good as well.
Muris entry is still another level. A great showcase of different styles combined with an interesting composition.
Posted by: Muris Varajic Apr 14 2008, 12:03 PM
Absolutely,there are many great players there!
I would add Richard Lundmark and Rick Graham to the list as well,
those guys are just amazing!
Posted by: audiopaal Apr 14 2008, 12:19 PM
I just opened a few accounts as well
Anybody know who's in the lead?
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Apr 14 2008, 12:21 PM
That Chris whatever he is called lol. His entry sent me to sleep after a while lol.
Posted by: chast Apr 14 2008, 01:10 PM
Anybody know who's in the lead?
I don't know who is in the lead, but who will get in the final will decided by some professional judges anyway.
Just a quote:
We will all select 10 top players individually from the entrants and then thrash it out: yes, someone like Feener will of course be a prime consideration because he has networked it so well: but equally if a new Greg Howe or Guthrie etc came in on the last day they would stand just as much chance with 0 votes!
Muris posted that already, but some seem to ignore it. I don't want to stop the good mood here, it's just that I think that you should just vote for your personal favourite one time and that's it.
I didn't decide yet, but my favourites in no particular order so far are: Chris Feener, Muris, Rick Graham and C.E.L.T.A
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Apr 14 2008, 01:15 PM
That means if I entered now I'd be guarenteed to go through
I think I'm dreaming again
But I guess I could
Or Not
Posted by: Muris Varajic Apr 14 2008, 02:34 PM
Thanks guys!
Who ever thinks he has something to upload,he should upload,
there's nothing to lose actually,only to gain.
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Apr 14 2008, 02:36 PM

Any chance of you recording another video and I'll create a mask of my face for you to wear to make it look like me?
I can't see any problem until we both get through to last 10
Posted by: Matt23 Apr 14 2008, 04:03 PM
You've got 3 votes from me. Good luck Muris, your entries amazing.

Hey muris how can we check top entries? ive been watching you mostly and last time i saw it was about 105 but how can we find out who the other top entries are from?
Posted by: superize Apr 15 2008, 12:31 AM
I voted two times for you and you deserved it.... i hope you win
Posted by: Muris Varajic Apr 15 2008, 02:40 AM
Sure, just click "About" and then look at the right,a bit bellow,
you'll be able to view entries in few categories,latest,top ranked etc.
Thanks!

Posted by: Siggum Apr 16 2008, 02:53 PM
Your in top 10 now grz
btw you should fix the link in your youtube vid, its not working...
also i read this
"The 10 chosen finalists actual entries will be performed with backing band from The Institute of Contemporary Music Performance, who will learn the numbers in the 2 weeks or so they have before the final. The outright winner then gets to perform the piece again opening up for Joe Satriani on the Sunday."
Sounds cool to me

Wow, that sounds great
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Apr 16 2008, 03:26 PM
That sounds damn cool. Maybe Satriani will be so impressed by Muris' guitaring that he will put in a word with some huge music business contacts
Posted by: DeepRoots Apr 16 2008, 03:31 PM
Maybe satch will open up a place for you on the G3 tour....man that would be too sick
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Apr 16 2008, 03:33 PM
Soon Satch will be supporting Muris
Posted by: Muris Varajic Apr 16 2008, 03:44 PM

Awesome!!
About this link,you mean link from youtube to Guitar Idol,it doesn't work?
Just checked it out,works fine here
Posted by: Siggum Apr 16 2008, 03:47 PM
yeah i ment from youtube video to guitar site, strange when i just push the link it comes with
http://www.guitar-idol.co.uk/muris
instead of
http://www.guitar-idol.co.uk/muris -varajic
strange

http://www.guitar-idol.co.uk/muris
instead of

strange
Hmmm...yeah, it shows the same thing for me.
Here's a screenshot:
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Apr 16 2008, 03:58 PM
It's because there is a gap between muris and the "-"
Posted by: Muris Varajic Apr 16 2008, 03:58 PM
I see....
This is strange,from editing window in youtube it looks fine,
but when you open full video and click "more",then you get the link that isn't working.
Gonna try to fix it tho,thanks for input!!
edit: try now,I think I've got it.
Posted by: Sam Hook Apr 16 2008, 04:05 PM
Cool, yep, it's working now.
Posted by: Muris Varajic Apr 16 2008, 04:33 PM
Great,thanks for input Sam.
Posted by: Pi38 Apr 16 2008, 04:51 PM
Okay, I voted. I hope you win!
Posted by: Muris Varajic Apr 16 2008, 04:56 PM
Thanks a lot!!
Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Apr 16 2008, 05:23 PM
I'm sure Satriani could use a few licks from Muris
Posted by: coffeeman Apr 16 2008, 10:17 PM
Hi Muris,
I voted for you last week , but I have to admit that I did vote for Matias Kupianinen too , I think he is a great guitar player too. I wish I could vote twice for you becuase I think your performance is way better than his, but I think he deserves to be in the top 10 too.
Posted by: Muris Varajic Apr 16 2008, 11:51 PM
I course you votes for him as well,
there are many other great players competing as well.
Posted by: Young Guitarist Apr 17 2008, 04:14 PM
Voted on you! 130 votes now, the guy in front of you has 132 Come on people VOTE! Muris is the best! and we all know it !
Posted by: Pi38 Apr 17 2008, 04:17 PM
Are we allowed to vote for you more then once?
Posted by: Matt23 Apr 17 2008, 04:21 PM
As long as you register with different emails. If you want to do this http://www.mailinator.com/ makes this a lot quicker.
Posted by: Pi38 Apr 17 2008, 04:22 PM
Cool, thanks.
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Apr 17 2008, 04:26 PM
I do think it is kind of wrong voting more than once but I guess that is what the judge panel is in place for to see if there are guitarists in top 10 that aren't good enough to be in there. Muris is definitely good enough for the top 10 and to win the competition
Plus I voted more than once
Posted by: ZakkWylde Apr 17 2008, 04:31 PM
Don't vote too often as a single person; Muris might get disqulified for cheating if someone finds out the same ip was voting several times!
Posted by: Pi38 Apr 17 2008, 04:33 PM
Oooh, good point. No more cheat-voting for me.
Posted by: Siggum Apr 17 2008, 04:36 PM
I agree 1 vote per person should be fine
Posted by: Pi38 Apr 17 2008, 04:38 PM
Yeah, as long as everyone at GMC votes.
Posted by: Matt23 Apr 17 2008, 04:39 PM
Yeh, it is unfair if 1 person votes a lot of times but I wonder how that Chris guy at the top got over 600 votes if people haven't voted a lot for him.
I do agree it's unfair though, even though i did vote 3 times. 
I probably shouldn't have.
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Apr 17 2008, 04:45 PM
I voted twice but at two different ip addresses with two different emails.
I'm pretty certain Chris would have done this also with his amount of votes.
Posted by: PolackHax0r Apr 17 2008, 04:57 PM
I may have voted for you more then once.... 
Gonna be hard to catch up to Chris Feener. he's at 648
EVERYONE AT GMC NEEDS TO VOTE!!! EVERYONE!
I hope you win!
Posted by: Muris Varajic Apr 17 2008, 05:11 PM
Exactly,you should vote once,twice maybe if you have 2 email accounts already.
But don't bother yourself with creating many,plus it's not kind a right way to do this.
Thanks for your support guys,much,much appreciated!!

Probably but there's also jury,votes are just one thing to decide top 10,not the only one.

Yeah I said that above. It is a good idea having the jury as well.
Posted by: Pi38 Apr 17 2008, 05:13 PM
But we still want a definite win for you, so vote, vote, vote!!!
Posted by: Muris Varajic Apr 18 2008, 12:03 AM

Posted by: Slammer Apr 18 2008, 12:38 AM

Posted by: ItsMe Apr 18 2008, 03:35 PM
Just voted. Hope it helps
Posted by: Muris Varajic Apr 18 2008, 03:48 PM
Sure it help,thanks!!
Posted by: ItsMe Apr 20 2008, 04:45 PM
Could you make a lesson off this entry ? It contains many cool licks and techniques.
Posted by: Muris Varajic Apr 22 2008, 12:36 AM
Of course,first thing to do when I get some time free.
Posted by: coffeeman Apr 24 2008, 07:09 PM
Come on guys there are new entries in the competition and very good entries like Gustavo Guerra , so the people who hasnt voted log in and vote.
Posted by: Siggum Apr 24 2008, 07:11 PM
Some guy got like 200+ votes in 1 day..lol i gotta say though the competition is getting harder and harder, alot of great players have entered. Go Muris!
Posted by: visi0n Apr 24 2008, 07:25 PM
i alreadyy voted for you
Posted by: Lian Gerbino Apr 24 2008, 08:22 PM
you got my vote too!
Posted by: Muris Varajic Apr 25 2008, 01:43 PM
Thanks guys!!
Posted by: Fran Apr 25 2008, 03:34 PM
Just added another vote, good luck Muris
Posted by: ItsMe Apr 25 2008, 03:52 PM
There have to be more votes. Muris dropped out of the top ten.
Posted by: Nathan333 Apr 25 2008, 04:01 PM
You've certainly got my vote
That makes 204 votes!
Posted by: Muris Varajic Apr 25 2008, 05:55 PM
Awesome,keep it up guys,thanks a lot!
Posted by: seagull Apr 25 2008, 06:21 PM
Jesus chris, WHY haven't you gotten more votes?? That really bewilders me!
How about asking Kris to put a note on the frontpage telling the members to go vote? You should definitely win that competition, its 3:48 minutes of virtuoso masterclass! Really kickass job, regardless of the result of the competition!
EDIT: Just registered and voted for you, that makes it 214 votes. Voted for Walliman as well. Good luck man!
Posted by: Muris Varajic Apr 26 2008, 12:18 AM
Hmm,seems like we have some sleepers here,yeah.
Posted by: ItsMe Apr 26 2008, 11:51 PM
If you have your entry on GMC as a lesson everybody will vote. You just have to advertise by stating how important the voting is.
Posted by: Muris Varajic Apr 27 2008, 12:55 AM
Well probably good idea but I still don't believe pushing it too hard
is the best thing to do.
There are many entries with huge support but it doesn't mean the quality however.
All we need is a vote per person and I guess we'll be fine.
Thanks for input!!
Posted by: Magnum Apr 27 2008, 01:02 AM
U got my vote Muris !
Posted by: TwistedSun Apr 27 2008, 01:15 AM
You have my vote as well.
Posted by: Nick325 Apr 27 2008, 01:16 AM
Voted for both you and david
Posted by: Muris Varajic Apr 27 2008, 06:02 AM
Thanks guys!
Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Apr 27 2008, 02:15 PM
3000 views for the topic!! Somebody is going to win that PRS!
Posted by: Siggum Apr 27 2008, 02:25 PM
Crazy but we need more votes for Muris and Walliman! some guys have a huge fanbase from youtube, they are near 1000 votes now...
Posted by: Muris Varajic Apr 27 2008, 06:07 PM
Yeah,my poor Youtube page
Posted by: Nick325 Apr 27 2008, 06:12 PM
we have to put somewhere where other people besides gmc will see it
Posted by: ItsMe Apr 27 2008, 06:30 PM
somebody posted that on the Idol forum. It contains quotes from the voting guidelines and comments from the guy who posted the text below. Interesting stuff.
1
[u]Quote:
First of all, as clearly stated the Online vote is primarily for the Peoples Choice Award. This will guarantee you a Finalist place and a special prize.
This means one of the 10 will be the person with the most on line votes.
2
Quote:
The other finalist places will be decided by a panel of pro music industry figures from the sponsors and organising companies.
This means 9 will be selected by panel
3
Quote:
As this is a contest to find the best player out there we couldn’t just rely on this being an Internet popularity contest – equally in the modern day world self-marketing is vital, so having this as well is a massive help to the judges to assess if someone is the complete package.
Unfortunately this means that the panel are likely to use on-line votes to enable short listing. Not surprising with so many candidates, but I feel could result in talented players being overlooked in favour of popular players.
4
Quote:
but if someone is great but cant muster more than a couple of dozen votes then it’s not going to help their chances at all…
Unfortunately this means you could be Shawn Lane or Allan Holdsworth but if you don't have any votes you won't be short listed. QED it's assumed that votes indicate talent in the eyes of the panel. A shame really because there are lots of Ford Focus's, they are very popular, but there are very few Rolls Royces, but they are much better cars. I think I know which car I would aspire too...
5
Quote:
In the music industry of today you will have to promote yourself massively in order to get anywhere – no longer can you rely on record companies etc. to do this – so use this as a way of brushing up on your networking abilities and SELL YOURSELF. Get every student/fan/friend/family member to support you NOW. There are 4 weeks left so it is vital not to waste any time.
This clearly states that no matter how good you are, if you can't drum up support, you won't be short listed. Which clearly means that players like Chris Feener , Matt Rach and Cesar Huesca are already short listed and yet other talented players... you know who they are... are unlikely to make it... a crazy state of affairs.... so "idol" is the appropriate term for this competition.
Posted by: Siggum Apr 30 2008, 01:25 PM
They recently kicked a guy who crawled into top ten in less than a day, watched hes video, he could barely play a few chords but somehow got tons of votes?
OH and i wish i could play this well at age 13 http://www.guitar-idol.co.uk/calvin-prior
Posted by: ItsMe Apr 30 2008, 07:58 PM
Muris droped out of the top ten. More people have to vote. David is not even on the first page. Over 4000 members on GMC and only a few votes. Vote people, vote
Posted by: Smikey2006 Apr 30 2008, 08:09 PM
over 5000 now
Posted by: Sam Hook May 1 2008, 03:53 PM
There are over 5000 members but I bet only about 400 people are active on the forum
Posted by: Nobody May 2 2008, 12:42 PM
Voted yesterday. Really good entries over there but none shows in depth knowledge of the instrument + versatility + skill like your entry.
I'm quite sure that you'll be the one to win, and it will be deserved :]
Cheers,
Hristian
Posted by: Muris Varajic May 2 2008, 04:09 PM
Thanks guys!
Posted by: Nobody May 3 2008, 02:11 PM

Posted by: AnyJimmy May 3 2008, 10:36 PM
So.. there's another vote for both you and David. Btw your contributions outrocked everything and everyone else in the contest. Satch should be opening for you guys.
Posted by: Canis May 4 2008, 01:00 AM
I made two accounts and voted on you both twice ^^ Not that it made that big difference though... I bet the panel is gonna notice you both ^^
(Is it: "I bet the panel is gonna notice you both", or "I bet the panel are gonna notice you both"?)
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion May 4 2008, 01:03 AM
(Is it: "I bet the panel is gonna notice you both", or "I bet the panel are gonna notice you both"?)
I'd say you use are in that instance but I'd use will/ I bet the panel will notice you both.
Posted by: Canis May 4 2008, 01:32 AM

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion May 4 2008, 01:36 AM

Posted by: Matt23 May 5 2008, 10:34 AM

Posted by: Muris Varajic May 5 2008, 12:01 PM

NP Muris - I should really have done it much sooner - mia culpe, los sientos guys.
Posted by: ItsMe May 6 2008, 08:43 PM
Still not enough votes. Even though only the number 1 gets a slot and the rest 9 finalists are shortlisted by the judges. But Muris and David deserve more votes
Posted by: rokchik May 6 2008, 09:17 PM
Voted!!!
I am so ashamed of myself for not doing this sooner
