Backing Track Tip: BT chord sequence is Emin7 / Gmin7 / Bbmin7 / C#min7 and repeat. Key changes on every chord, scale wise one approach is to play Dorian based on the root of each chord(and of course minor pentatonic based on the root of each chord will work fine too).

Competition closes 15th August 2010 at 23:00 BST. We'll then shortlist as soon as we can, but it does take some time.

Laurie Monk thanks, Brett Garsed, Larry DiMarzio, Magnus Olsson, Rick Graham, Chris Brooks and Tom Quayle... and the ever present Shred Junior... G'day mate! And not forgetting you!

Problems with video response:
It can take a number of hours for your response to appear. This is because they have to be approved first. However, if you can't see your video after 24 hours then it is more likely a youtube response issue. In this case try this process:

try posting your video again here

http://tiny.cc/garsedreply

or if that does not work try

http://www.youtube.com/video_response_upload?v=fXpJ4C8xKk0

If youtube won't allow you to add the video in response again, then post your video as a response to one of your videos. You can then accept that response. Once that is successful then go through the response process again.

[Uberado]

So.... Will there ever be a Shred This 4?

[lauriemonk]

@Uberado hopefully just need to organise it :)

[Eruption89]

still no idea sup with this... it is already finished? there is a winner? coz i cant find anything about the results..

[lauriemonk]

@Eruption89 the results video is the first video in the video repsonses.

[chumbo]

Laurie, just an idea for another competition. How about one where players would only have 1 or 2 days to submit their videos? The idea is to favour more the rough talent and improv skills than how well one can prepare, compose and execute a complicated solo.

You could announce the competition a month ahead, and on D day, give out the backing track and let the shredding begin 'til 24/48 hours later. Just a thought.

[lauriemonk]

Top 15 agreed... now on to top 5!

[c4tze]

this headstock is so fucking ugly. too sad those are the new "cockstocks" ... god damn esp what have you done with your most awesome axe? ... nice playing btw. very nice.

[xxwantedxx]

@xxwantedxx the lessons is in second place the peddle should move to the second place winner.

[xxwantedxx]

sorry but the prizes are screwy man just my opinion. i would rather land in third place so i can get the peddle, rather than have a bunch of lesson cd's to over crowd my cd rack. just sayin...

[AtanasovPetar]

Garsed is just great...

[bobkat321]

Brett is one sick guitar player,

slide, legato & modal wizardry,

your too good for the farhnam band.

But it pays the bills i suppose.

Go Aussie players,

Check out Ian Date on UTube also,

another genius player.

[AngelofDeath595]
