Yeah to hard for me also. Even without all the trips I'll take soon I don't think I could master everything there...

Sorry for being unclear: You don't need to play what I play, just play anything - improvise!
It's a lot more fun if you come up with your own stuff! (and it doesn't have to involve fast playing at all)
I'll edit the youtube description as well

Hmm I wondered if this is a "collab" but after some thinking decided that it would be much more difficult to type "winners" so maybe it is like the old competitions at GMC, that we learned lessons note by note. This change things, maybe I'll come up with something good enough to share with the world:P

Awesome Marek - can't wait to hear what you come up with!
I added one more thing (you can probably tell I have never arranged this kind of thing before..! ; ) )
"I will be looking for the most original/fresh takes!"

Are we allowed to record another sounds , for instance, a new voice.. or a dog's bark ) or it has to be only a guitar solo?

I'll give it a shot and try to play something on it. I'm not as fast though lol.
You're pretty fast, but I enjoy being able to see you slow it down. Something like part 10 of the lesson, it sounds cool, but sounds like it'd be too fast to play. Once I saw it slowed down it was much easier to interpret.

Sounds dumb but it's most definitely true!
Great observation Gazebo - that kind of Yngwie run is easier than it looks! Can't wait to hear your take - and welcome to the GMC forum!

Hey Kris, so here is my take for the love me competition, i should record some things again but have no time ( same thing with the video) so this is my final take. It was quite a challenge to record in db, never did it before! hope you like it guys, spent some days doing it.

I thought I'd experiment a bit and use my Classical Guitar on this one, but add Wah Wah and other fx to keep it interesting Also I avoided composing in long phrase/counter phrase/phrase and instead kept it short and sweet!
The solo is at the start of the track just after the count in. Here is an audio preview of my solo with the "no Guitars" backing.

The so...
Rapidshare seems to not like my file. I'll send the video file again today using sendspace.com it's the same idea. A GMCer pointed it out to me a bit ago.
Haha love it - that's an awesome "medley" and very cool licks! Already listened twice to it =)
Thanks man! Getting some good ideas for this already. Is it okay to record in garageband and mail you the GB file or do i have to do it some other way?

VIDEO FILE FOR LOVE ME COMPETITION:
I compressed the file down and it's black and white so it's quite small. Keep having issues with rapidshare to I thought I'd just upload it here.

Hehe very tasty/original sounding Todd - video was very nice as well!
Sounds like it could work - the competition is pretty much closed so I need your file(s) soon! Looking forward to your take!

Thanks! I call it "Gypsy Wah Wah" Had a great time building the patch and the solo. Really looking forward to the final. Congrats on an awesome collab.
