Well done, Cross, for your solo "Diagram".  Cross was a finalist in May, and is living proof that if at first you don't succeed, try again!  Well done to our other June finalists, Bad JuJu and oCircleo.  We will be opening the July competition shortly, so upload your July solos when we do!  Thank you to all of our fans and guitar players who made the June contest a success. 

Several players were within less than one point of making it into the finals this month, so take heart, July may be your chance to shine!

We made it through another month, and LOTS of new guitar players and guitar fans have become members at InfamousGuitar.com.  Welcome to each of you. 

So now is where the rubber meets the road...time for YOU - our loyal members - to rank these solos to see who can make into the top 3.  The 3 highest ranked solos will be judged on June 30th by our panel of judges, and the winner will get $100 and a shot at the $5,000 Finals next year.

Those of you who have a guitar solo out there, be sure to invite YOUR fans to come join InfamousGuitar.com and rank your solo.  Part of being a rock star is creating a following...so be your own publicist and help ensure your solo gets some airtime!  Remember, whoever recruits the most fans also becomes our Featured Player for July.   Just ask yosoytudios and RonnieY how easy it is to spread the word!

Good luck to each of you.

SquidCat wins May contest, June contest beginning...

If any of you haven't head SquidCat's guitar solo for May yet, scroll back up and have a listen.  It's a really fun, quick, driving solo with several tasty guitar treats throughout.  And check out CRSS and yosoy's solos, too, our 2 runners-up for May.  They did a great job, and came very close to wining our first monthly guitar competition in May. 

So, we're on to June now, time flies!  There should be twice as many contestants this month, so be sure to upload as many solos as you can to help your chances.  And don't forget to go find yourself some fans and groupies...creating a following will definitely help you make the finals!  It's a lot like getting a gig in real life...the more fans you have, the bigger the venues you can play. 

If you're not signed up yet to compete, remember it's FREE, so do it now!

Congrats to our May Finalists!

The semi-finals for the May 2008 InfamousGuitar.com Online Guitar Solo Contest have arrived!  For those of you who have solos entered into the guitar contest, good luck!  Now you need to go recruit some friends to come check out your solo!

Talk to your friends, family members, co-workers, everyone you know - even complete strangers!  Invite them to become a Fan at InfamousGuitar.com and to check out your solo!  Remember, each member can only rank your solo ONCE, so the more members you invite, the more times your solo will get ranked.

The three contestants with the highest ranks will be entered into the finals on May 30th, and will have their solos judged by InfamousGuitar.com staff and a mystery judge, who will be announced on the 30th (after rankings are closed).

The winner gets $100, an entry into the Annual $5,000 Guitar Solo Contest, and a national Press Release announcing their victory.

So get to work!  Invite some friends to check out your solo!  And tell them...

...to get your solo into the May competition! Saturday, May 24th is the last day to upload a solo to become eligible for the May finals.

This will be the easiest month of all, as next month we will have twice as many players and solos out there to compete with. So take the easy pickings while you can! Get your solo out there...and if you already have one or two, add more. Players can upload 3 solos to each monthly competition, and Premium Members can upload as many as 5 solos.

As a reminder, all solos must have been originally recorded in the last 30 days, and must contain ONLY one guitar - no backing tracks. Solos must be one minute long at a maximum.

If you're a guitar player and you're not signed up yet, you're late! But we waited for ya...
