It's with great pleasure that I can now announce that
Paul Bothner Music has graciously offered to sponsor this next challenge. They are sponsoring
3 sets of RotoSound strings to the
winners of this next challenge.
The strings are redeemable from any of their 10 branches located country-wide. The strings are however limited to the RotoSound standard series.
So the challenge this month will be different. We are now breaking the challenge into 2 categories. The categories will be "Beginner-Intermediate" and "Advanced - Professional". So when submitting your song, please indicate which category you feel you fall into. Advanced players who think they can sneak into the first category (Beginner - Intermediate) will not get so lucky. The winners of each category will win the prize. There is no 2nd or 3rd place prizes.
The theme: The theme is a combination of Mixerboy's and the theme suggested by Paul Bothner. Mixerboy's theme is World or Oriental Music. However you should choose to interpret that. And Paul Bothner suggested something to do with 'Acoustic Guitars'. So if we combine, maybe
World Music with Acoustic. Feel free to interpret however you will. You won't be penalized if you miss one element or the other.
The beginners - intermediate category will be more flexible on the rules and the theme. So if you go over 2 minutes, that's fine, and if you have more than 4 tracks, we will allow it. The point here is to get you entering and not worrying if its formally correct. Even if you can only play 3 chords, please don't let that discouarging you from entering. Even if you don't win, you'll recieve other benefits such as general feedback on how to improve, compliments, that warm fuzzy feeling of putting your song out there.
The advanced - professional category will be stricter on the rules.
Paul Bothner also have recording facilities at most of their stores should you require assistance in recording your entry.
Contact your closest store to book or for more info.
In the spirit of trying new things please EMAIL me a link to your song as well as an attached
mp3 version of your song to
rogowski.adrian@gmail.com on or before
9h00 on 22 April (editted)
If we show a lot of support and participation in this topic, then the people at Paul Bothner may be persuaded to sponsor more challenges from here on. So lets show them as much support and entries as possible to secure them as recurring sponsors.
