I saw that an I think I'm going to sign up too. Haven't listened to all of the backing tracks but I will soon. I'm not sure yet but I think I'm going to use my strat with the texas specials. Looks like it will be fun

signed up last week. people at the Columbus store better step up their game, because they have me to compete with (not to sound cocky or anything.)

I just signed up. I'm probably not a contender or anything, but it's good experience and it's fun. I'm not sure about which backing track yet, but I'm going to work up a few and go with the strongest. :)

I'll most likely use my Cypress Mica JM Strat, my T. Turquoise strat, or my Copper '52RI. idk...

I'm planning on using "Slow Down Blues". I like the tempo, and key it is in. My teacher, Jerry Loos, won the District but got beat in the finals a couple years back. I'm hoping to make him proud!

They're actually holding the district competition at my local GC this year. Lots of very good Blues guitarists around here so I think I'll go and just watch. Not that I'm intimidated . . . well, yes I am. :oops:
