You know @steevc I was thinking that in the near future, we could do something like a "Guitar Idol" of some sort.
I'm still working out the idea in my head, but maybe we do a contest kind of like this.
- You have 3 backing tracks to choose from
- You record your guitar driven song using these tracks and have a week to submit them/ publish them
- Then the person hosting the contest (hint, hint) will make a new post commenting on said post under each submission for the community to upvote its favorite. (no double voting)
- The winner of that, gets a guitar pedal, or something of the sort...
I guess my point is, it would be cool to attract more guitarist to Steem.
I like the idea. I feel like I've only seen a snippet of the talent in the community. Would love to see more...
Also, maybe we can all chime in one what styles we play in case someone wants to learn, lets say a blues, or finger picking style, or shredding. This way we can all use each other as reference and help newbie players as well.
Sounds like fun. I know we have some great guitarists here and I'd love to see more. I was part of a community on a guitar forum that has broken up now. Some are on Facebook, but I'd prefer to interact with them on Steemit. BTW I bought my pedal toppers with funds I earned here :)
I say you take the lead on this one, you know your way around Steem, and guitar is your passion... maybe we can convince @pechichemena to make the backing tracks for the contest. And I offer to sponsor the contest as well... I'll donate a guitar pedal towards it...
I'd love to, but I just don't have the time to organise something. I'll help out where I can.
well its out there for the world to see... let's see who steps up to the plate!!! hahahaha
Count me in! I'll be back at my studio in two weeks , I'll gladly help into making this happen , of course I can do the backing tracks , we would need some organizing in order to have different styles to solo on , so it's fair for everyone. Let me call for some help here : @dreamrafa , @outoftune, @ale.tripoli. Suggestions?
I really loved that idea. I would definitely participate on a contest like that. It's like a Steemit guitar jamming
@meno That is a great idea. I have been trying to get more of my musician friends here as well.
