  • fuuuuuuuccckkkk I wish I had seen this when it started I would have entered ;(

  • That strap button thingy on there, looks seriously misplaced :P

  • @joniiboy let me tell you.. is pretty well placed :D, i was worried 'bout the same thing but is all good :)

  • I reckon Rob has lost the guitar somewhere, that's why the winner's not been announced :P

  • Am still looking but find Nothing about the Winners.. did i missed it? Anyone knows who the winners are?

  • Kicking Myself for not catching this one!!!! What an awesome freaking backing Track and Prize..DAYM I am freaking Bummed..........arrgggg

  • Dang it!! Just missed it!!!

  • where can i watch the winning entries for this competition? i tried looking at the forum but i got kinda lost...

  • @videogamesvictor agreed!! is 13th of june and i still cant find who are the winners

  • Hi rob, i cant see anything about top 10 or something on your site..

    Greetings Max

  • Where's the top 10 ?????

  • @claudiokiari it is supposed to be at monkeylord.co.uk but I see only a big ape poster there. that's some monkey business right there. or maby it's so small I can't see it.

  • Congrats to all the top 10!! Some freaking amazing entries, cast your vote!!!!!!!!!

  • @IzzacV where all the top tens bro?any help

  • @beckersteen21 Sure man, it is a little odd to find, you need to go to the monkeylord website, monkeylord(dot)co(dot)uk and go to their forums. Then go to competitions, and there will be a thread on voting for the top ten. Make sure you register in order to vote. Hope this helps! :D

  • Had to subscribe to Chappers channel to submit for the contest - the huge upside is that I got to unsibscribe afterwards.

  • I missed the deadline, for some reason i thought the deadline was the 10th (pure stupidity)..........Very annoyed.........Lesson Learnt!!!!

  • hey RobChappers ijst wanna ask you ..iwish you accept my solo contest video?if not let me know please..but please don't ignore it..

  • where are the top 10? :)

  • Comment removed

  • Well done to everybody who got to the top ten! Please check my entries :)

  • We had two months to enter the contest, got our entries in before June 1st like you asked us to, and you didn't look at them. Makes sense to me! You proposed an idea and then altered it without letting us know first. Kinda like Darth Vader!

  • @mactown09 The video says competition closes on the 1st June, and at midnight UK time that's what I did.

    I don't run on USA time because I live in the UK and if you had really cared you would have:

    A) Asked what time zone I lived in

    B) Got your entry in on any of the previous 60 days

    That is all

    Chappers

  • @RobChappers Oh and i know nothing is going to change now, but I think it would be good if you were more specific in future competitions.

  • @RobChappers When a competition closes on a specific day (1st June in this case), we use to think that the deadline runs along the entire last day- until his midnight. In this case, it seems that the deadline was May 31.

    BTW, If the competition is still receiving some responses to video TODAY, it would be reasonable to accept this last entries. I think some other guys thought like this too.

    "B)Got your entry in on any of the previous 60 days":I heard bout this competition last weekend.

  • @guitarristanerd stop whinning! you had a lot of time to do this! if you let it to the last hour its not chappers fault, you should be more organized with you time

  • @mactown09 jeez man, calm it, this is your fault lol

  • Voting on the top ten has begun at monkeylord.co.uk

  • @RobChappers ROB. I think some of this last "non accepted" entries are really good to be in the top 10. 

  • I just received 8 more entries!

    Guys you had 2 months to enter this competition...

    That is all.

  • @RobChappers rob sorry for the late bro ...ithought ican still upload on 31 may iwas making solo for that and its little hard backign track but iwish finally idid it..and wish you take it....

  • iworked so hard for this solo itook a month to build the solo..ithink i late about 1 hours because we are in defferent place here in isarel it was still 31 may ...so bad and so bad.....for ignoring the contest video..

  • Competition now closed!!!

    I promise that every entry that was submitted in time has been watched, a poll of the top ten will be started on monkeylord.co.uk

    Join up and vote ;-)

  • @RobChappers hey bro i finally finsh build my solo can i stiil upload please?

  • @RobChappers Wow I submitted my vide just after you posted this. Its really not cool how you end the contest before June 1st when your video AND more info section both say that the decision will not take place till the 1st. We are all in different time zones and run on different schedules, it would be extremely helpful if you could be accommodating.

  • @mactown09 hey bro you were right We are all in different time zones and run on different schedules iwish they will understand that

  • @mactown09 Agree! @RobChappers PLEASE!

  • @RobChappers I'm from Brazil. Here in Brazil is still May 31... Please, consider my entry!!! PLEASE!!! :)

  • Mine has not showed up yet either :( I read somewhere that it can take up to 24 hours to be processed... I hope thats not the case here! Good luck everyone and thanks Rob and Hufschmid guitars!!!

  • My video is still in processing, please wait!

  • My Video response has just been done,so Sire RobChappers,would you be so kind as to confirm it,and send me the Albinodroid guitar :) ...Cheers !

  • oh, can't see my entry in responses too...

    Sad, if we late

  • Good luck to all of you, guys! And thanks to mister Chappers and mister Hufschmid for this competition! :-)

  • Hey Rob. I'm sorry for posting my entry this late. I hope you'll give it a listen anyway. Thanks for the great competition!

  • Comment removed

  • My video is uploaded and ive put it as a response to this video. rob, can you confirm that my entry is going to be included, coz i know its quite late :P literally just a yes would be okay, but im nervous ive missed it XD cheers man!

  • My video is up, I just can´t see it in the video response page... I hope I could deliver it on time!

  • Finally uploaded my video. Phew.

  • Just finished mine...whew...haha. Thanks again, Rob. You're a meat-bag full of joy! ;-)

  • Hi. I uploaded a video response and I'd like to know if it's confirmed.

  • I totally did one last entry. Higher quality video, higher quality guitar, higher quality editing on the vocals (OH YEAH I DID VOCALS) and generally a better entry all around. Hope you enjoy! Good luck to everyone, too.

  • @TheDjentBoy hmmm... no comment xD

  • Hi guys,I have posted a video,but I'm not quite sure I did it right with a video response :),so I would be very thankful to get an answer !!! Cheers

  • @Rony7067 yea you did, its good as well lol

  • @suckit69er

    :D,tnx man -_-

  • So it's ok to upload a video till 1st of june ?

  • @TheDjentBoy i did and he never mentioned what age you need to be...

  • @TheDjentBoy Ok sir :-)

  • whats is emnat by vote..or how to vote?

  • I can't find the backing track on the website and if I try to register they don't accept my e-mail adresse.........

  • Any specific criteria to be fulfilled to take part in this contest?Is it open to all level players-Beginner,intermediate and advanced?

  • why are you giving a guitar to someone who already has a guitar?

  • @FuzzyBunnyJames because maybe they don't have the money to afford a guitar as good as that one?

  • what age do you need to be?

  • with all respect, I do not like the back track, it is a pretty generic metal backtrack which I am tired to hear around. I will wait for another chance that may never come with a better backtrack not so generic.

  • @hugoalfa dude if you don't like this backing track you can modify it or even more create your own one, so there is no excuses.......

  • Hey Chappers, I saw some vids which were edited, you know, like one moment the frame is on the guy playing then the very next second it jumps to another totally different frame, showing multiple takes. So are we allowed to do that? Or does it have to be one take right from the beginning to the end.

  • grEEEEtingss!!

  • holy shit , this is an AWSOME guitar !!!

    and the backing track is just insane ^^

  • Hello Mr Chappers I was wondering is a keyboard solo allowed in this competition because you said that you can play guitar or sing just make it entertaining.

  • What Key is the BT in and can we transpose it?? i

  • @Joshmv14 The key is E phrygian dominant. The chords are E7 and F#m7. I have seen some entries where people have transposed it, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's allowed so don't hold me to it!!

  • @GubeonProductions

    Hey.. Thanks a Bunch! :)

    I just figured it out and needed affirmation.

    I don't think I'll go with the transposing..

    I'm best with Am so this should be right:)

  • @Joshmv14 Yeah it's right in your ball park then! Just remember that you can use g natural and g sharp over the E to spice things up a bit. Diminshed scale ideas are always fun!

  • @GubeonProductions

    Coool.. Thanks :)

  • @Joshmv14 Hey man! I made a video about the things you were asking me, hope it helps! It's on my channel

  • Can anyone not see the 'see all' button for video responses? I want to see them all, but can only see the two which show up on this page :|? ANy fixes? Cheeers

  • I love the logo from Hufschmid

  • That guitar is fucking killer O_O

  • man that guitar sure looks sweet

  • how to vote bro..?the video's?

  • do you think those kent armstrongs would work well in a les paul type guitar

  • DJENT! DJENT! DJENT! DJENT! DJENT! DJENT!

  • can't figure out what to play over the track, there's too much going on too quick :( and too many changes.

  • where do we get this backing track from? i cant find it anywhere!

  • @DueDown the link is on "show more"

  • @DueDown description.

  • Wow, that ascending diminished bit in the main riff had me stumped, I have it now so I think I have a hope of playing a decent solo..

  • when is the deadline?? 1st june?

  • Is it bad if I laughed like a small child when you said "WOOD!"...? >_> Aha gotta love those little moments of immaturity :D

  • I just sent my reply! I hope you like it and accept it! XD

  • It is necessary that the video lasts the entire time? I've seen a couple over there that cut or do fade out before the end of the bakingtrack, Can I do that? or are required to finish? Thaks for your answer!! :) and good luck to everyone!! :)

  • Can i make my own backingtrack and shred over it or...

  • I jammd my middle finger! Hope it will be healed before 1st of Junes.

  • In what key/scale is this backing track written?

  • Does it have to be true metal phrasing or can I do more like instrumental you know playing those chord tones alot and stuff.

  • KILLSWITCH! KENT ARMSTRONG! GoTOOOOHHH! WOOD.

  • Sir rob chappers, is it ok if I throw in a violin lead solo into my competition video?

  • after seeing some of the entries, I'm not even going to bother to post a vid. there are definitely some guys who deserve this guitar more than me.

  • the backing track sounds like dream theater

  • How many packs of strings and how many cables, does the guitar come with a case?

  • Why did this have to be a metal backing? *Bangs head repeatedly on floor*

  • @bigleemac because they want a BS shredder to have their guitar XD

  • So let me get this straight. If you already got more talent thanothers and have money for recording equipment AND you're right handed than you have a change to win this...

  • How I can partecipate to this contest?

  • Cool!! GoOod Luuuck All!!!

  • Maybe I'm just totally missing this, but when is the deadline?

  • @kiaranjay  You're totally missing it...

    Watch the video or just click on show more ;-)

  • Been checking out the responses... freaking going to be tough to judge this one!

  • @lauriemonk Ha ha thanks dude ;-)

  • 3:27 WOOD!

  • done!

  • Thank you all my respect for the great contest!

    Very cool! Good luck to all! Brazil greetings!

  • let's practice, yeah !

  • Just 4 minutes and my video will be uploaded!!!

  • hey rob, as a matter of getting time-delays correct, n shit, what is the tempo of the backing track?

  • When Is the end of competion?

  • is there a rule wich scale to play?

  • is it ok if i live in the us?

  • Chappers, if we do get in the top 10, and we win, how exactly do you send the stuff to us, do we give you city, country, zip code etc? Also, does it have to be video camera? Or can we record it and mix it? That would be cool.

  • the neck on that beast is huge!!!

  • Does it need to be all the time from the backing track???

  • Dude, i'm not very good but i'm going to do my best, hope is enough.

    Oh and by the way, i play guitar for about 6 months, but i do not suck at all, not even in metal. Just going to practise on those backing tracks.

  • How many frets does this guitar have?

  • Hey, what are the woods on the guitar? Expect a video response from me, too:)

  • goin make a new one anyway my first one was just random im goin try and make a good solo for this competition. Want it sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooo bad

  • my entry still aint showin

  • Im not really good at english so i didn't fully understand how the voting will work. Is there going to be a jury of some sort or will anybody be able to go in and vote on the top 10?

  • Damn !!! It's too hard for me now :-( But thanks Rob for the Hexatonic Phrygian Dominant Lesson. I will keep practicing.

  • hey Chappers, is the end of May the dead line for the entries ? .. Because damn it i don't have much time this month

  • GOH TOHHHHHH

  • Is it ok if I make a video smashing every guitar I own? Cause this baby is just the most beautifull piece of guitar I've ever seen. Seriously now, this competition is just exciting as hell.

  • Im gonna try it , backing track is too long tho ... MUST i record it full-length? Or no? Because I'm already seeing some replies with shorter length

  • 3:26 epic

  • I Jsut Posted My Response!!! I hope I win and if I don't then congrats to the winner!!! Thank you Chappers!

  • As soon as I wipe this drool off my face, I'm gettin' BUSY!

  • im gunna go for a talk box jam

  • Great backing track...thanks!

  • I want it with a neck made for my hand though.

  • 10th a june?

    2 days after my birthday

  • What key is the backing track in may I ask?

  • @CoreThrasherGLB The majority of it fits well in A minor / E Phrygian (As it feels rooted in E), but there is a second part which changes to B minor. That's how I played it anyway. :D

  • u luk freakishly like my dad w/o hair!!!!

  • The backing track sound just like the first heavy riff in Home by Dream Theater.

    But that's not a bad thing.

  • Man, the epic shredders have just begun to come out of the woodwork, can't imagine what else would show up between now and the deadline

  • I have entered! Be gentle, please. I'm fragile.

    ...I'm also joking. Go nuts!

  • Yeah, what're we being judged on? If it's skill... I'm screwed. I'd love to enter, but I just don't reckon I'm good enough...

  • So what exactly are we being judged on? Skill?

  • I'm 14 and I haven't even been playing guitar for a year yet, I thought if I worked hard on it possibly I could have some chance of winning! I clicked on the first entry I saw... my hopes were crushed XD

  • @EpicSkatinDrummerGuy lol i know how you feel mate

  • Hey! The guitar is cool!The backing track is also very good! I hope that you'll like my video! Cheers!

  • The winner is announced 1 week before my 18th birthday.. what a present that would be.. Shame I'm Sh*t at guitar.. Bye bye Albinodroid -_-

  • cool contest Mr Chappers. I got my video up although I gotta admit that backing track is a little out of my comfort zone but gave it a shot anyways.

  • Hey Chappers, I'm having some trouble here trying to solo over this with major scale modes.. it sounds kinda funny... any suggestions?

  • @ww007ka its kinda in E Phrygian/Phyrigian Dominant modulating to F Sharp Minor(Dorian aeolian and phrygian seem to work over it) thats how i think of it anyway

  • @ww007ka Sure, Just go one note at a time and write something that sounds cool to you! Don't just rely on scales my friend ;-)

    Ahhh fuck it I'll make a quick lesson... gimme 5 \m/
