Dream Views Guitar Wars 2011! (Think Thread)

[Oneironaut Zero]

That's right, DV, we're bringing it back! There's no mistaking that Guitar Wars was a success, a little over a year ago, but time has continued to march, things have changed and people have moved on. Now, though, we seem to have a whole new generation of DVers and - no doubt - a whole new pool of talent with which to start things up again! For those whom don't know: Guitar Wars was a weekly contest in which members would compete to see who could turn out the best performance, on an predetermined event. Judging of each event is based on polls, so all DV members are encouraged to support your fellow DVers and vote!! Past events have ranged from improvising a solo to an existing song, to playing a rhythm track of your choice, to completely remaking an existing tune. Anything goes. The purpose of the Think Thread (this one) is to keep track of who will be participating in each event, each week, and to collectively brainstorm on what the following week's event will actually be. Anyone is allowed to join, and everyone's input is encouraged, when it comes to choosing events! Who knows? Maybe we'll even get some ladies in the mix, this time! Any female guitaristas, out there?? So how about it, people? Who's up for a little "friendly competition," eh? I already know that there are at least 4 people who will be joining in, but I'm sure we can do a little better than that! The first event has - so far - been decided as remaking an existing tune, to your choice of one of three basic drum tracks that I will be providing. It could be any tune; a rock song, a country song, a show tune, a commercial jingle. Anything. Tomorrow being Friday, I will post the drum tracks here, at that time, and whomever is participating can choose which one to use. I'm also thinking about allowing those with editing software to mix-and-match the beats, to make a more complete song, but I'm not sure yet. Anyone with feedback on whether or not that should be done? You're more than welcome to chime in. Whatever the case, let's get this thing going! If you want to participate in the first Battle of 2011, simply respond to this thread and let us know. This week's deadline will be Friday, January 14th (you can post it any time that day, before 12:00am Saturday EST). The lengths of time for each event may vary, depending on the event (improvisational events will have a much quicker deadline, etc.), but they are all negotiable... LET'S GET IT ON!!
