I've just received email from the guys who are one of Guitar Idol sponsors. All other GI finalists were included in the email.

The new competition is on so if you want to give it a try see this video for rules and hear the backing track.




This is what Andy played over this backing

Bloody hell fire, Andy can play!!

dont think my blues licks will win this one leave it to the shredmeisters methinks!

I'm a big fan of his playing style .. Very tight and controlled ..

And more so coz his fingers go far away from the fretboard , just like mine , just comforts me in the fact that there is still hope to achieve those speeds

Goodluck to whoever participates.

That was so well played, and well controlled, simply an awesome solo for this kind of a track. Good luck to anyone participating

I'm guessing that was a phrygian scale he was playing... sounded really good
Kinda made me want one of those eclipses

Killer take

Posted by: Dennizzz119 Apr 4 2010, 05:40 PM

Such a shame

Was wondering what you would come up with,

Posted by: Fran Apr 5 2010, 10:32 PM

Wow, that was awesome!

Posted by: Staffy Apr 5 2010, 11:13 PM

Well, we can do one together Sted! You do two takes and I will do two as well, and then we delay each of them a 16 note triplet in time from eachother!!! Voila' - we will sound like Robert Johnson on acid!!!
