Enter The Int-ERUPTION Guitar Solo Contest On YouTube - Entry Ends July 3rd!!!

[SilentDestruction900]

Why did you extend the deadline??

[UltraVioletMan1984]

@SilentDestruction900 So hopefully more guitarists can enter. - Benjamin

[HaloZeroFreakBeanboy]

But you just opened it...

[UltraVioletMan1984]

@HaloZeroFreakBeanboy The box, not the plastic wrapping that contains the pedal. - Benjamin

[Ladiesman534]

Hey Ben, I downloaded your backing track and I don't mean to offend you in any way, I just want to remake your backing track with my software if that's ok?

[Rikk303]

you just opened it Ben

[UltraVioletMan1984]

DISLIKES DON'T COUNT - Benjamin

[playingforbritain]

Do dislikes count against likes? Its just if so, I'm currently on -10

[RIFFSUAREZ]

@playingforbritain tell me about it, I unfortunately have so many dislikes, maybe its someone I know... So I 'm pretty sure I have no chance, good luck everyone else though!

[playingforbritain]

@RIFFSUAREZ well, there aren't so many entrants, so you can still win

[TheJackKnite]

cool i will probably participate

[MrSuperstarsi]

Can someone help me with syncing audio and video? I'm using a webcam and a line 6 pod x3 live. Any help please? Thanks :)

[Theshemproductions]

Ah I'm not truly into "Guitar solos."Creates an illusion...

[fallingspears77]

I record videos by putting a microphone on my amp, and syncing the audio with a video recording device. I've done all my videos like that.can I not do that in this competition? otherwise my guitar amp will be way too loud compared to the backing track

[UltraVioletMan1984]

@fallingspears77 Yes, record it however you feel best to make it sound how you like it. - Benjamin.

[thetobe49]

@UltraVioletMan1984 Is it play the solo with multiple guitars? Say i record myself two times and put the records together. or shall it just be one guitar performing one solo?

[UltraVioletMan1984]

@thetobe49 One oerformance, one video, one entry, one live take, no edits/cuts/pastes/meshes. - Benjamin

[That7OsDude]

Hope I can enter!

[UltraVioletMan1984]

@That7OsDude Entry is free. - Benjamin

@Sean2592 It's not an Eruption contest, it's an Int-Eruption contest. Completely different tracks. - Benjamin

@RIFFSUAREZ Use whatever effects you want, play whatever solo/improv you want, as long as it's live. - Benjamin

[Sean2592]

not to be a smart ass but wouldn't most people able to play eruption have a phase 90/evh 90?

[RIFFSUAREZ]

Just a question before I upload my entry, are all contestants limited to certain guitar effects? or is it bring all you got competition?

[Kizales]

So wait, we could win a guitar strap and strings even if we don't win the entire contest?! That's awesome! I'm totally doing it! :D (I'll try my best to win, but the strap I have for my guitar now is really poo-poo and it's something I need :P)

[UltraVioletMan1984]

FAO ALL: DISLIKES DO NOT COUNT. ONLY LIKES COUNT. - Benjamin

[UltraVioletMan1984]

@bigdanxl No I'm not entering my own competition. My video is there to show you guys what I personally did with my backing track.

@gUiTaRiTaLy Yes, the competition is open to anyone in the world.

[gUiTaRiTaLy]

Hey Benjamin, is this contest international or is it just for the UK?

[bigdanxl]

So the host is entering? kinda a weird setup if so.

[Tviruskillu]

I'm entering for the hell of it. I'm sure I have some pretty big supporters on FB so I will try anyway.

[Mangoeeeeeeees]

I might have a go at this if I can get a bit more variety in my playing...seems like it would be a laugh :)

[ltayl1]

Can I just make a not about the dislike thing, There are people on youtube who deliberately dislike videos solely for the purpose of being a disliker. Wouldn't it be better if only the number of likes on the video counts, to avoid this happening to people?

[Translusas]

@ltayl1 agreed. but in my opinion likes shouldnt matter at all because then unknown channels like mine stand no chance against a well known youtube guitarist, and knowing this im now debating even bothering entering this

[ltayl1]

@Translusas Mmmmmm. I'd just enter anyway. I mean it's free and dosen't really take that much time to figure out a solo for it. I'm just gonna enter then get my friends on FB to like it.

[ebetmr]

hi ultraviolet, i have already posted my contest video entry. God bless.

[UltraVioletMan1984]

@ebetmr You need to leave it as a video response to this video - Benjamin

[ebetmr]

@UltraVioletMan1984 Thanks man..



[marioman3343]

I'm in.

[christosaw]

this thing about dislikes count against likes is in a way wrong..since most of the contestants may dislike on purpose the other videos..

[mitchellvanvliet]

I was thinking of entering but i honestly didnt like the voting process with likes and dislikes.. If someone is forever alone they would have no chance..

[UltraVioletMan1984]

@mitchellvanvliet @christosaw 1) You can only like/dislike a video once, that's how YouTube have set the counter. 2) It's Upto you to get people to vote for you, be it via YT, FB, G+ etc and 3) You won't know how the voting goes until you enter. - Benjamin

[mitchellvanvliet]

@UltraVioletMan1984 Yeah i knew that, but lets say i dont have any friends to vote for me? :P thats what i meant.

[UltraVioletMan1984]

@mitchellvanvliet That's what facebook and youtube are far, spreading the word, letting and getting people to see what you're capable of. - Benjamin

[GilbertusesanIbanez]

I'd enter, but I suck.. xD

[playingforbritain]

@GilbertusesanIbanez well, you might as well, if only then you get a free cd. Go for it, and im sure you don't suck.

[Ederr93]
