Yes, the contest is up and running again, this is my entry: (Give me thumbs up and favorite! THanks for your support!)
I entitled this track "Never ending wave of change" ...refering to how I see music...
I used various techniques on it, some sweeping, bends, tapping, slides, riffing. It's quite melodic but you'll find a couple of intricate solos along the way, or at least I think so,
I hope you support me to win this competition, favorite this video, and give it thumbs up!
I really apreciate it!, see you soon!
Daniel

Hi Daniel, just found your video on youtube a minute before you posted it here. I already registered and voted for you, great song! Good luck for the competition. Would be cool to see some other GMC instructors taking part though.

Schredalicious! Very musical piece, I'll vote - just saw I have to register... wonder if I didn't do that last year?

Awesome playing Daniel, and I really like the theme. That is amongst the most important in this competition imo. Last year, every contestant had very good chops, but I think Jack Thammarat won because of the song and his taste in the playing. Good Luck !!!

That's true, and I think it's a good thing, it's about music, not chops,

Ahhhhh-Mazing.
Great composition man, perfect balance between atmospheric melodies, groovy riffs, and technique - while still retaining melody at the same time.
Got my vote.

Wow Daniel, I love it!
The mix of melody/shred is perfect for my taste, those entries that are 100% shred with no feeling bore me, this one is great, the main melody lingers in your head, shred runs are spot on and so clean, plus I love that small part in the song around 2:33.
This will take you to the finals!!
Off to vote

I registered using two different usernames/email addresses. I can login, but I cannot vote. It only shows the Register to vote button underneath (which I did twice), even when I'm logged in. Anyone else got issues (using Safari, tried Firefox as well, on Mac), or am I missing the obvious?
