'Heart of Fire' Competition Entry - NickGuitarify

*** WINNING ENTRY *** - I'm honestly overwhelmed by the positive feedback and well-wishes from you all. I wish I could reply to each and every comment, but the volume is simply too much! I'll be sure to upload a Q&A video in the week. Sincere thanks to you all :-]

This is my entry for Rob's wonderfully generous competition.

I really enjoyed this one due to the backing track's strong stylistic links to one of my major guitar influences. However, I tried hard to inject my own blues/rock style into it, which hopefully comes across :-]

what brand is that guitar??

[NickGuitarify]

@jmemG No brand mate, it's made from parts!

[jmemG]

@NickGuitarify Awesome, by the way, do you have any tips for beginners like me??

like when shoul i practice and for how much??

[NickGuitarify]

@jmemG Sure, it's good to find artists who you like the sound of. Learn certain musical ideas from them and make those ideas "your own" by injecting in your own personality. It would also be good to work on your overall technique too!

[jmemG]

@NickGuitarify Thanks man, and how about practice? For how long should i practice and when??

[NickGuitarify]

@jmemG That's a tough one to answer mate, best to ask a local guitar teacher that question :p

i dont see why people are saying you shouldnt have won im really glad Rob didnt pick another shredder i mean i like all that stuff but it gets boring very quick well done mate.

[NickGuitarify]

@mrfinh666 I wouldn't worry mate, it happens in every competition... if anything, I've had it lightly! Let's all remember that behind these usernames, we're all normal people trying to make a living :-]
