The SHRED LIKE LOOMIS contest

[Morbides]

Well now.

 

[Yossarianus]

Reminds me of guitar hero. Bad idea.

 

[Morbides]

Why don't you do something around it, with all your prizes and guitar raping?
(I know you want to.)

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Thats really stupid. Frankly just an attempt to get people to buy the fancy box set.

 

[Morbides]

no crime in that*shrugs*

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

[Brooks]

You mean I have to purchase a 7 string so I can win a 7 string?

Balls!

 

[buzz21]

Nothing wrong with this at all - it is another way to keep NM in the public eye and it continues Jeff's climb into the guitar-hero stratosphere. I can't recall NM ever getting this kind of marketing push in the past - regardless of your opinion on the contests, at least somebody is doing something to get their name out there.

 

[Shmu]

Balls!

I agree

 

[slashvanyoung]

You can totally do this with a six string. Might be a bit more effort, but it's everything but impossible.

*goes to make sweet sweet love to his seven stringers*

I think its a great idea. If you don't want to get the box set or you don't want to enter the competition then don't.

 

[kmanick]

Why the 7 string hate?

 

[Captain Beard]

They're big babies.

 

[Brooks]

Why the 7 string hate?

What 7 string hate?
I was just implying that it's a little elitist to hold a competition that favors the SCANT few guitarists than have 7 strings.

The most creative entries will probably come from 6 stringers, anyway.

 

[kmanick]

oh Ok, you're post above kind of sounded "anti 7" but I get it.*duh)
just shred on a 6 and don't follow his rhythm lines then no biggie

 

[The Emptier]

Yeah you could easily harmonize all the guitar parts or work it out for a 6 string

 

[Lordlucid]

YEAH, so quit being a bunch of bitches!

 

[The Emptier]

Yeah,and then just transpose it to a kazoo

 

[Ambivalent]

So... are you making a whole new song to the drum and bass tracks? Or are you actually recording the song that Loomis plays?
