After all the bands have released one song and are a bit more experienced, it could be fun to have a battle of the bands! My idea is that we basically set a date (say Feb-March or something) and on the date set, each band submits a set (of a few original songs and covers) previously unheard by any other GMC members, and the GMC forum can vote in a poll open for say 24 hours whos set should win! There could be some form of prize but I don't know what. Anyone like that idea? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Dec 18 2007, 01:38 AM	GMC:er Posts: 148 Joined: 19-May 07 From: NY	ya I posted a similar idea in the suggestion thread a couple days ago............ here it is just to let everyone here know what I have in mind so people can throw their ideas around " I've got a suggestion that might be fun to do after we get the ball rolling a little more. Maybe have a battle of the bands type of thing with awards given out in different categories. Some categories could be... Best Cover, Best Original Song, Best Solo, Most Listened To, and anything else people can think of. Prizes could be things such as a trophy avatar, maybe a mention on the front page, or even a lesson of their song by an instructor or a GMC t shirt and other stuff. This will bring a type of friendly-competitive feel to the bands and will definitely encourage more band activity and maybe some more bands to pop up. I can't think of anything else so if anyone likes the idea and has something to add feel free." Basically smells said the same thing as he did here, to wait a little. I understand that letting the bands progress a little more and maybe waiting for some more to start up will make this competition a lot more fun. So lets wait and see what happens You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
