Seasons greetings and happy holidays everybody!

GOAL: You have until DECEMBER 20TH to learn a song, any song of your choice, with the instrument of your choice, and record it and upload it (to Youtube, your UG profile or any related site). Audio alone is fine. Video is fine. This should prove some fun and a good time waster and all along you're becoming a better musician. After all entries have been made we will judge on cleanliness, accuracy, techniques (ex. good harmonics or vibrato), styles, speed, etc. and overall impression.

NOTICE: Do not upload to a site where you have to register to view/hear the song (ie, facebook, etc)



*** REGISTRATION IS OPEN RIGHT UP UNTIL THE SUBMISSION DEADLINE ***

Thanks to StewieSwan for this:
To export a GP5 drum track as an Mp3 if I just download the song from UG...

Make sure only the drum track is on (mute the others or press the S button on the drum track in GP) and then go File - Export - MIDI. Once the drum MIDI is exported, find it wherever you put it and open it with itunes. Then right click the track and select "create mp3".
If it doesn't say mp3, if it's another kind of format then go Edit - Preferences - General - Import Settings - Import Using Mp3 Encoder and then right click the song and convert to mp3. This is all assuming you have the latest itunes.




These are the categories:

Guitar -- Easy/Intermediate/Advanced -- (note that 'easy' doesn't mean 'beginner')

hmm, since my electric is broken I'll have to be creative.

I'll do something for easy guitar with my acoustic I think. It's a secret though

And I'm going to do a Protest the Hero, BTBAM, or Dillinger Escape Plan song on piano for lols. I'll let you know which one when I choose.

Would "A Favor House Atlantic" by Coheed and Cambria be Easy or Intermediate? I want to give that one a shot.

Put me down for The Judas Kiss on guitar by Metallica please I'm not going to do the solo so I'm not sure if that'd go in the intermediate category or the easy category

H4T3BR33D3R

I'll just put it in intermediate and if somebody takes issue, we'll move it.
