Thanks again, good luck to everyone, and most of all,
have fun doing IT - this should be a blast.
This sounds like a great competition. Good luck to all guys
Fantastic idea guys, have fun with this one!
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!
Awesome initiative IntemperateControl
Looking forward to listen to the takes!
Is there a backin track provided or do we have to find one ouselves ???
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:

Are some prizes included?
Wah wah is a great prize, gotta go practice!
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.
Just thought it should be mentioned here too, Staffay just created a couple backings you guys can use for this contest, find them here:

nice competition...I want to see this
Nine days to crunch time on this competition, gentlemen (and ladies).
I know, I never want to be the first to submit a take in a competition,
because then every one else is out to get you with a better take! Ha!
But, this competition is open to everyone - students and instructors alike.
Where's the balls? basketballs that is. PG for everyone. I am especially
looking forward to your take Emir... Like you said, it should be funny.
Or, at least join the judges panel, because your participation - as well
as all of you other great instructors (and you know who you are) will be
appreciated by all. You are all well respected here, I'm sure of it.
Anyway, Hang loose, guys...
*BUMP* for this great competition. Come on guy's and put something up!!! (before I do - and proves that there are something even below the lowest level)
//Staffay
count me in! recording my take tonight , come on people! let's get some rock n roll done!
Thats the spirit, Adrian. Im into putting the vid together!!
Unfortunaly I broke my video when trying to imitate a duck, so there will be no video for this one, maybe later though.
And I will strongly point out that I don't wanna be in the competetion, because of the fact that there is no "old-boy" class... (and btw. my lyrics are all wrong anyway, which can be seen below....)
//Staffay
Deep down in South of Sweden far from New Orleans
There was an old stupid bum with guitar dreams
His head was made of pure mud and wood
He goes by the name of Staffay B. Goode
He never ever learned to sing or play so well
But he could make the women just like a ringing a bell
Go go
Go Staffay go
Go
Go Staffay go
Go
Go Staffay go
Go
Go Staffay go
Go
Staffay B. Goode
He used to carry his bed in a potatoe sack
Go down and take a nap on the railroad track
Oh, the engineers would see him lying in the shade
Humping with the rhythm that the drivers made
People passing by they would stop and yell
Oh my that bald-headed guy does well
His mother told him "Someday you will be a man,
and stop to use the force by Your fast right hand
Many women will come to ya from miles around
To beg You use your mojo when the sun goes down
Maybe someday your name will be allover spread
Saying Staffay B. Goode is dead
Nice take staffay
Go Staffy, go go go!!! Man this take was amazing and hilarious! Can we get a video of that "duck walk" too ??? ))))
I couldn't hear the song yet, will do when I get home, but just looking at the lyrics I can tell it will be awesome.
Go Go Staffay!!
that was great, Staffay!
Way to go Staffy!!
That sounded great and was really fun to listen to. Me wife, son and I were dancing and having fun.
Thanks mate!!
That was great Staffy!
Staffay! Since I am one of 3 judges here I was waiting for the end to comment on
any takes. And now, I must say that yours was one of the best 3 takes I ever heard.
1. Being Chuck Berry himself (an oldie but a goody).
2. Being the Starlighters (aka. Back to The Future - Marty Mcfly lip-syncing/air guitar).
3. Being the great and generous Staffay himself (well worth the effort). Awesome, man!
Last on the list but not least by any means man - you made it sound cool again, Staffay!
It was like, your version was so "Goode" it made the other contestants seem obsolete,
non-existent, almost invisible. Ha! Wow! I must commend every one on submitting humbly
before the great and noble Staffay. For Rhythm and Blues - for Rock and Roll and where
it all began! all those guys I'm sure would appreciate this great contribution.......
I know you said you didn't want to be in the contest, Staffay, but the prizes are
yours if you want them. I put them up myself, so I am not going to renege on my word.
If so, email me your name and address, Staffay, and I will get those prizes shipped
to you asap. Congratulations! You really rock on that guitar, man, and besides your
entertaining style of singing, the lyrics had to make me laugh! All the best to you
because you really came through for Rock -N- Roll.
FOR THE NEXT CONTEST:
4TH, 8TH & 16TH NOTE TRIPLETS ACROSS THE BOARD (JUST LIKE SCALES).
NO TALENT REQUIRED!
GRAND PRIZE:
1 NEW BLUE RUBBER BAND (to mute your strings).
Congrats Staffay, well deserved
Is this still running?
I thought there might b lots of entries as I dont think anyone can call themselves a guitarist untill Johnny B Goode is in their repertoire.
For the record I am nearly a guitarist as I can play all the parts of this but have to work at putting them together!!
