I am trying a new feature this month and adding a forum to the site. If it goes well and there is a decent amount of traffic on it I'll probably upgrade to a nice forum system.

The first actual use will be for our upcoming "December" solo contest...I'm still working out the details but here is a little bit of info:

I thought it would be fun to post a backing track for the solo section of my song "December" and have you guys post yourselves playing over it!

I am probably going to have some way to vote (either by Poll on my website or I might put up a forum for us to post in) and I'll give out free copies of my book "Foundations for Guitar" to the three submissions that get the most votes.

You can either submit a Youtube video or a sound clip.   If you don't have recording software there are free programs such as "Audacity" that will allow you to record over the backing track!

http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

The deadline for submissions is Thursday June 19th and the end of voting will be Thursday, June 26th!

You can host submissions on a site like Soundclick (http://www.soundclick.com) or email them to me and I can host them here on our server...
