Hi everyone! 
After the excitment of the Dean Shredder search competition I thought I`d throw in an entry to next years Guitar Idol competition, kind of wetted my appetite for competitions 
Some very talented guitarists have entered already, and the site is worth checking out.
anyways heres my entry, not perfect, but its all for fun, hope you like it, and gimme a vote when the voting stage begins

Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Dec 9 2008, 02:03 PM
I wondered where the vote button was
I've spent the last 5 minutes trying to find out how to vote
Posted by: Smells Dec 9 2008, 02:15 PM
I've spent the last 5 minutes trying to find out how to vote just having a read, this time the voting is a little different, and theres several heats, seems a bit over complicated to me, but I think they are just trying to make it a level playing field, I`ll let ya know when the voting is open

Well Chris you said in June you were going to have a pop at this and true to your word you have, I for one think you have done a great job. It has guts! not just shredding your way through nearly 4mins like some of the contestants last year did! it has a fantastic melodic feel to it real heart! All we need now is a lesson on it lol; and if you get to London I will cheer you on Great job.
Posted by: Fran Dec 9 2008, 03:13 PM
1st Class playing Chris: melody, tone, backing + some serious shredding too, wish you all the best!

Posted by: Jesse Dec 9 2008, 04:38 PM

It's a Maj7 arpeggio in octaves.
Muris has the same in his new Phrygian lesson.
Artists like Tony Macalpine and Robert Macello do it alot too!
Really cool lick.

Beautiful Smells - I would want you to win for just for your vibrato! Good luck!

Your playing looked effortless and it sounded great bro.
Posted by: skennington Dec 16 2008, 01:48 AM
Chris, refresh my memory, can we vote from different IP's or is it based on the login name
Posted by: UncleSkillet Dec 16 2008, 02:16 AM
Login name and email has to be different. I created 2 accounts
Posted by: Smells Dec 16 2008, 10:26 AM
as Uncleskillet said mate, based on login and email, so if you got a couple of accounts you can vote twice
