WELCOME TO THE SATURDAY SHRED CHALLENGE!!!!



To replace my Saturday Video Chats, I'm going to start a SATURDAY SHRED FEST CHALLENGE. The format is going to be rather open at first. For the first challenge, I'd like to to something in memory of PRINCE who we recently lost, along with a number of great musicians this year. For our first challenge, I'd like you to play a "Prince Influenced" solo over "WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS" which is what Prince played during a Rock and Roll hall of fame performance. In case you missed it, here it is.



This is NOT A COLLAB but something new. It's a "Challenge" I challenge you to play anything over this classic backing. It doesn't have to be good, it doesn't have to shred, it just has to have you in it playing like you really mean it!!! That's it smile.gif so here is what I need.

1.)Reply to this post with a youtube video of your performance.

That's it, no files, no transfers, just you playing smile.gif I will give you feedback on your submission and you will get your first SHRED FEST MISSION BADGE for having the stones to put yourself out there and for making the time to make music. smile.gif

DETAILS:
Key: A Minor/Blues (A minor and A blues/Pentatonic will work great!)
Submit: Embed (not paste the link, ask me if you need any help) your youtube vid of you playing over the solo section.
Bask: in the glory of your briliance!!!

DUE DATE: Before Next Sat!!!

BACKING TRACK:

*Four count click in and BAM your on!
