Matt Baker at Guitarmageddon 2001

Here's some good old fashioned wanking on stage in Seattle, WA at Guitar Center's Guitarmageddon National Finals. There were 8 finalists out of over 3000 total contestants nationwide that made it this far. The finalists got to hang out with Steve Vai, Reeves Gabrels, and Blues Saraceno.

Your amazing, did you place as a finalist in your GC??!?!?

[rocketnerd]

Yeah, I was one of 8 national finalists. Cool experience. They flew us to Seattle. We met Steve Vai, Reeves Gabrels, Blues Saraceno! Not to mention we each got about $5000 worth of music equipment for winning the regional competitions. Guitarmageddon 2001 was good to me. I hear things are different now. They play to backing tracks and they call it something else now. Sounds kinda lame if you ask me. I dunno.
