We changed the age requirement to 16+!
18+?…Only in USA????….Common guys that’s kind of un fare :/
Will do! Thanks!
Can you let us know what issues you are having with the tracks by going to our website and click on ‘Feedback’ in the upper right hand corner? Thanks!
Guitar only, no vocals. Good luck!
You know what you should do, do the same thing for/in Europe! Seriously!! Gear is fine, but to be able to open for you Joe and to play with you, well thats another part of the story. ;) I’d really like that idea actually!
Bummer created my entry uploaded it and realized that I don’t live in the USA.
Little help please… Are submissions supposed to be strictly instrumentals? Or are there supposed to be vocals? Not certain if I should sing or if this is a straight ahead guitar contest.
why am i not american, nothing good happens in ireland 🙁
I just saw this video and i thought to my self that i had a chance, but Then i red that you had to be at least 18 and an American siticent !!
Too bad you have to be 18! I wish I could apply for this! 🙁
The link is no good for the backing tracks downloads.
Seems like a nice guy :)
Now that is a GOOD prize!!!!
Not Good enough to even bother. But this is a cool idea
Exactly. Legal residents of US does not mean american citizens. I am Turkish but I live in US so I can participate, I guess.
I mean to bad the contest is only for americans.. read the rules
"ELIGIBILITY: The Contest is open only to individual musicians who: are legal residents of the contiguous 48 states of the U.S."
Considering i have bought 2 tickets to your show in london, im kind of disappointed that i cant enter. Americans get so much more oppurtunity than anywhere else and if we are happy to pay for our flights to LA if we become one of the 10 finalists then we should be able to enter
Why the heck is this only open for US residents?!
Awesome! Going to compete against my own son (who is amazing)
Thanks Joe, hopefully we’ll be seeing you soon 🙂
what do you mean its only for americans ?
is this only for American residents?
