[benedettopomante]

why have remove my video from response this video?

[MilanPolak]

No one has removed any video. Every subscriber's video that entered before 7th of Dec. was approved. If your video is not on the list it is either because you did not follow the instructions or because you posted it as a response to some other video as well which seems to automatically remove your video from here...

[lauriemonk]

@benedettopomante check your video. You can only post the video in response to one video... a real pain.

[Adji87]

It does stop you from spamming your video around though, so it has positives too I guess!

Good luck with the voting process, someone is going to get a VERY nice christmas present :)

[MilanPolak]

hey guys, quick update - we're close to announcing the winners. Boy was this a tough one. My next competition should have 100 prizes... lol

Happy Holidays!

[MegaGVM]

@MilanPolak  just 100? ohhh...... pf :-)

[GorancicAdi]

can't wait to see the winners =D  GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

Rock On !!!

[dimeely]

cool hehehe.I hope to be between the 3 winners hehehehe =}

[SkaterDenito]

Good news! :)

Good luck everyone!

[Adji87]

Good luck to everyone! I can imagine the difficult task Milan, the standard was so high, as it always is with these competitions. I am sure though that everyone had fun participating and I for one enjoyed getting feedback from some really pro players.

[Astillero15]

My vote goes to Oscar Morales-oemb89. His entry I believe is the one that has not only more virtuosity, but also feelings and great skills.

[anouckandreguitar]

thanks Milan for this great experience!it was cool to play over your bt!

[MilanPolak]

[MilanPolak]

Hi guys, countdown - final weekend to upload your video responses...

[MegaGVM]

Invite the other 1 million guitarist contestants on yt. :-))

[MilanPolak]

haha, sure Victor that would be cool. Wanna help me out contacting all of them...? ;-)

[MegaGVM]

Why not?:P

[isis4563]

I vote for JonJon! At least top 20 anyways.

[larkinguitar]

Just posted mine! I thought this beautiful backing track was just begging for some slide, and then I figured what the hey, why not just do it on the fretless? Hope you dig it!

[MilanPolak]

I sure do Brian, great idea! :-)

[celugaro]

I agree with Brian, not bad idea! It's different and really peacefull! I cannot know if the slide fits 100% in the base (the only good opinion comes from you, Milan), but for me it sounds really nice & peacefull ! Regards to everybody! :-)

[Pilhotrix]

Thanks for watching my video!!!

[MilanPolak]

thx for joining! :-)

[slayxmotley]

emiliano zapata has all to win... pure melody and feeling!!

[MilanPolak]

Hi guys, I am very happy with all the videos that still keep coming in and the absolutely nice & peaceful atmosphere here. Let's see if we can keep it up till the end. Countdown...

:-)

[53e227]

warm regards form Colombia

[MilanPolak]

I already commented & rated and it's posted! :-)

Yeah, it's really incredible to see all the different videos and hear all the different interpretations from all over the world. This is an awesome experience also for me...

[razormalaya]

Hey Polak.. man.. just got my video posted from Brunei...:)

[MilanPolak]

good! :-) welcome on board...

[IcechickenSr]

Damn I wan't the Model lol screw the pedals haha. (Sorry if sh'e ur girl I don't mean to offend you lol)

If I had seen this sooner i'd try to knock somthing out, but I've taken the damn nut off my axe to build a new one, doubt i'd be able to throw it together then throw somthing together quick enough :( T-Rex pedals are fuckin awsome! Love ur vids dude. Subsribed! Cheers, IC.

[MilanPolak]

lol, I'll forward your message... ;-)

You still have time until the 7th of Dec... looking forward to seeing your video response. Thx for the sub! :-)

[heMANshred]

i want to enter but i'd feel bad because of how many have already entered... maybe.

[MilanPolak]

why's that?

[heMANshred]

you have 157 entries, at this current minute. i definitely dont want to impose my playing into something that i have an extremely low probability of winning, but i'll think about it.

[MilanPolak]

well, in my opinion it's not only about winning. It's also about making new friends, getting yourself heard out there and being part of something which has been a nice experience so far. There are so many good players & so much talent out there but hey, that's the beauty of it! :-)

I myself entered another competition, too...

[heMANshred]

yeah you're right. i'll try it out unless i cant come up with something that stands out other than all these other players, no offense of course, who seem to enjoy starting the solo with a big bend. but ive got a few ideas. thanks for this oppurtunity.

[MilanPolak]

looking forward to hearing it...! :-)

[lauriemonk]

wow 155 entries!

[MilanPolak]

yeah and so many great ones too! We'll have a hard time choosing a winner, mate...! ;-)

[WizardofGuitar]

Thank you Milan for having this contest:) It's great that skilled guitarists like you let everybody have a chance to jam and have fun!!:)

[MilanPolak]

thank you! I enjoy hosting this competition very much.

[tazmaniaco65]

Thanks to you, Milan.I never knew that there were so many wonderful players out there.Man...I feel so humble after all the great talents I've seen.And I really love your music!Can't wait for the next contest!

Wish you all the best,

Raúl

[MilanPolak]

thx so much Raúl! :-)

Yeah that's the beauty of this - you get to see & hear a lot of new talent.

[vladguitar]

[IceCrystalDrake]

Hi all, Plz check my solo on Milan's tune.

Cheers

[MilanPolak]

already commented & rated. Thx for joining & welcome! :-)

[Kampanitak]

Hi, uhmmm this backing track is a little short for me ;) , i can not put such an amount of notes on it like you, guitar-monster-players ... ;)

Impossible for me to shredd yet ...

[MilanPolak]

Hi Kampa, the amount of notes is note important for a good solo! ;-) Some of my favorite solos consist of only a few notes...

Looking forward to seeing your video response...! :-)

[Kampanitak]

Ok, there is not much but here you have my little contribution....

Hope you like it...

[MilanPolak]

[7thSense07]

Thank you Milan for this great opportunity! I have just entered. It was a pleasure to play over such a great and inspiring backing track.

I wish all the entrants the best of luck.

[MilanPolak]

thank you for entry and your kind words, Richard! :-)

[SibeRa777]

there are several very young boys in that competition who gave to the backing track the right expression, IMHO, without shredding and making the guitar breathing, as the original solo. Very well done.

[cuchoguitar]

This competition got really awesome!! =) i don't know why my entry doesn't show anymore :S i'll post it again just in case n.n, you can also visit my channel if you feel like checking it out =) good luck to everyone!!! lml
