Paul Bothner Music is once again sponsoring this month's competition, and they are offering 2 sets of RotoSound strings for the winners of each category.
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.
The challenge will be broken into 3 Categories.
Category 1 - Beginner
Category 2 - Intermediate
Category 3 - Advanced
If you are unsure as to what category you fall in, please message me or Alan and we'll help you decide. But in general:
Beginners - are those that are still new to guitaring, and novice to recording, if you don't know what a plugin is, then you are definitely a Beginner ?
Intermediate's - are those that have been playing perhaps for a few years, they could be in a cover band if they wanted to. They know a bit more on recording, maybe using free software such as Reaper etc. They really are the players that are not beginners, but not classified as Advanced/Session Muso's.
Advanced - You've been playing for many a year, you comfortable with a range of styles, or you are quite an expert in your style. You know how this recording thing works. You'll know for sure if you are in this category.
*Of course these are rough guidelines. Some players progress through these 'ranks' much faster than others. Use your discretion.
You are also encouraged to write a little blurb/description of your entry i.e. what gear you used, what was the inspiration behind the track, how long it took you etc. You get the idea
The Theme
"Pick a Picture"
Pick an image (A, B or C) and write a piece of music to it based on whatever method of interpretation you want.
You can tell a story, express a feeling, thought or memory you get from it or just stare at the image while you create the song. It's up to you.
