I don't really see it as a competition, but more as a spur to to invent something to a deadline, coming up with brief bursts of creativity without the effort of composing a complete piece of music.
It's quite useful to gauge opinion. I've learned one thing, shredding is generally a vote loser.
It's also interesting to hear and learn from the approaches of other entrants.
my biggest prob is time.. I don't seem to have enough of it going spare..
pretty frustrating..
My YouTube Channel
All the otm entrants take the time to listen and comment, though to be fair there's not usually many of us to listen to lol
@ChrisRG same as me, played a few gigs as a teenager , bedroom player since, defo give it a go mate. I've took part for at least twelve months, not *won* a carrot, but the odd word of encouragement is very ...erm, encouraging
It gives focus to my playing/composing.
@paul_c2 I'm sorry, I have copyrighted that excuse and have been using it for some time
The list below is not aimed at anybody in particular
I don't want to
I only play/or am interested in other peoples music
I don't play guitar very often
I don't have the facility to record
I am a gigging/recording musician, it's my day job, why would I bother?
All of the above are valid reasons ( imo ) not to take part.
Other than that, I'd suggest a "fuck it, I'm going to give it a go, what's the worst that could happen" attitude
As @spark240 said above, just bang something out, everything's easier once you get the first time out of the way
I think, at least, the submitted entries should remain anonymous on the playlist.
I'm _not_ talking about anyone or any situation that has happened in the past or any situation I have been involved in but I am saying that it would stop tit-for-tat voting or people voting, or not voting, for people they like / not like regardless of whether or not the track was any good.
just number the SoundCloud playlist and vote for the number you like
yes!!
Having said that, there is the option of submitting your entry anonymously if you so wish (I remember at least one anonymous riff entry in the past). I just can't believe the forum is so factionalised as to make anonymity the norm.
Anon may get some people to submit that would not normally tho?
There have been times when theres only been three of us in some of the comps, makes tactical voting a little difficult lol
