QUOTE (berko @ Jun 16 2009, 02:42 PM)  What did you play there?  I played Race With Destiny by Vinnie Moore. That year we were allowed to play covers. There is a video but really bad quality. That was recorded with some very strange camera by a friend of mine. The file is 600mb (7 min clip) and I have never found a codec that can convert it to something else but smaller. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

QUOTE (lcsdds @ Jun 16 2009, 04:53 PM) What did you think of the experience Emir??? Was there a lot of pressure?? If I was ever in one of those competitions I see myself walking out on stage.....plugging my guitar in......looking up at the crowd.......crapping my pants......then exiting stage left....   I'd become a youtube LEGEND.......Just not the kind of legend I'd want to be..... haha, no man there was no pressure. I was going through a really hard time that year. The fees for my school were really high and I had to find a way to pay it. I was all alone in the UK. The reason I applied for that competition was only to win. I was pretty confident. The song was really hard though. When I've done it I sold all the stuff I got and paid the university. If I had the money I would have never enter such thing. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

QUOTE (lcsdds @ Jun 16 2009, 05:03 PM) Really??? So you didn't really enjoy it? Do you think it helped your career? I wish you had a good video of it......I'll bet you rocked the house. I KNOW YOU DID!!!!  It is always mentioned everywhere but I am not sure whether it helped in the career. When someone reads about it maybe they give me more respect but I still cost the same when I play a gig And yes, I think I rocked that place. Some famous guitar magazines wrote about it. Also to mention that the competition was called "Guitar Hero UK" that year and it wasn't international. Then they changed the name to Guitar Idol. -------------------- Check out my <a href="https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Emir-Hot" target="_blank">Instructor profile</a>

QUOTE (Emir Hot @ Jun 16 2009, 12:40 AM) This year the online voting decided about the overall winner and the rest was the judges choice. Not really fair. I knew that online voting would result that Chinese or similar can only win. If only his street clicked, there you have 100.000 votes if not more Classic Emir Anyhow, thanks A LOT for your support guys and let me tell you what., one guy from Lick Library told me that I was 2nd by votes which means you guys did a hell of a job so my huuuge appreciation! So, contest is over, one more experience in my bag but unfortunately it was pretty similar like the last year, no sound check and I HATE to waste someone else's time tweaking the amp so I just plugged in, did few turns and that it. But that was not the end of all troubles.  Backing track (synhts, some loops etc ) was so LOUD in monitors, I barely heard my self playing in chorus section, when choir is on. And what I hear now, there was almost none backing in master mix, it sounds so poor, the whole song.  Crowd was great actually!! They were shouting all the time but there were no ambience mics to pick that!! And yeah, I had no idea that online votes would decide the winner. If I knew that I probably wouldn't apply in a first place, imo that is job for well trained musicians and not for everyone, to make that kind of decisions. I do understand them whatsoever, they need more traffic online to get more sponsors but you should have said that online voting is most important and not the judges. I won this Blackstar amp and I still have no clue was it because of the votes or judges. -------------------- Youtube

QUOTE (skennington @ Jun 17 2009, 01:35 AM) Great to see you back here Muris and congrat's anyway. I'm just not sold on GI any more. I love the fact that they streamed it for everyone to watch, but the online voting thing just don't do it for me. I could tell you had no prep time before you plugged in and thought you did a fine job in spite of that. I hope soon there will be a true sanctioning competition judged by professionals in which you and some of our other instructors get more exposure.  I do think the more your name is mentioned, the better the opportunity for you to get a major label interested so the time was not wasted for sure. Anyway, we all love you here bro, keep rocking! Thanks Sken! Yeah, it is nice promotion indeed (let Bondy tells you more  ).-------------------- Youtube

QUOTE (UncleSkillet @ Jun 17 2009, 01:58 AM) The way I hear it Emir owes Muris a new Fifth fret and some wood putty to patch a small hole. Comfortably Numb can be a dangerous song apparently. Muris said that little whole has to be there. That way the guitar looks more rock and roll QUOTE (lcsdds @ Jun 17 2009, 01:15 AM) on the webcast it sounded like they were dead silent. It's because they didn't have any ambience microphone to catch audience's voices. I was in the first row shouting like mad

QUOTE (lcsdds @ Jun 17 2009, 02:12 AM) He needs some cigarette burns on the headstock too. Your beloved Hamer probably has some schrapnel marks from your little "light bulb" explosion eh Emir. Nice to know you are willing to sacrifice your life so that I can become a better guitarist...... My Hamer was even swiming with me in the lake and still works perfect

Seems a bit lame that there isn't a sound check, a bit unprofessional maybe. The videos are up on lick library now of all the contestants. The sound in general is pretty poor, shame really as the performances themselves are obviously pretty good.

I missed the online webcast, I was out all day with the family and had a gig at night, I didn't vote, it could have probably made a difference if it is like they say that it was only by 2 votes. Yeah, it was pretty wrong rule and unfortunately some major players won't apply next year cause of that rule...... QUOTE (lcsdds @ Jun 17 2009, 02:15 AM) Glad you got back safely Muris and that you could win a nice new amp for Emir...... I'm glad to hear that the crowd was great.....on the webcast it sounded like they were dead silent. I thought your performance was great. I will say though that when you played the first couple of notes and there was no sound......at least on the webcast there wasn't.....I was like...."Oh man, here we go again!!"  Your still GMC's guitar Idol.....YOU ROCK MAN.......\m/\m/ Oh yeah, seems like amp mic was muted or som! Thanks Monte.
