Guitar Player magazine has launched it's own version of American Idol, called Guitar Hero and last year they asked for submissions from all over the world.
I, at first, didn't really want to participate, because I tend to think I would choke in those kinds of situations, but my wife egged me on, so I did send a C.D. of one track, per the rules, last summer.
When I didn't hear back from them, I thought I hadn't gotten through.
Until I received a phone call tonight from the Managing Editor and Chief, saying that they were blown away by my track and I've made the FINAL 10!
As it turns out, they will be flying me to Cleveland the weekend of June 10-12 to perform one song of my choice, with a live band at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, in front of judges Steve Lukather (Toto), Joe Satriani and others.
It will be webcast all over the planet, and so forth.
Eeeeeeek!
Needless to say, I'm excited and terrified.
From the site:
GP’s Guitar Hero 2005 is part of the CMJ/RockFest, which is being held all over Cleveland during the weekend of June 10-12. The winner of GP’s Guitar Hero will receive a mammoth gear package, as well as get one of their songs included on CMJ’s New Music Monthly CD that reaches tens of thousands of music business executives and tastemakers across North America. Guitar Hero 2005 is sponsored by Gibson and Audio-Technica.
