The tunes are challenging. More Robben Ford than Gary Moore. Gonna give it a shot. Maybe the SRV one.

signing up. Should be interesting.
This might just be at the local level, dunno because I haven't really paid attention to the outcome of this contest, only ever aware of it when it rolls around every year(in fact I didn't see her play in the deal because she lives in Arkansas, I've never even been to one of the preliminaries or anything)
Also it seems like maybe this is sort of a "bait and switch" -- an excuse to pull people in and sell stuff, seems that Essie told me that many of the other contestants were youngsters who's parents were springing for new gear (maybe in an effort to sway a judge?)...not that this is unusual or wrong: after all, the purpose of a promotion is to to drum up business.
Still, it would be fun to go sign up and wreck some blues for a whole lot of unsuspecting folks at GC...and there's a bunch of prizes, so what the hell?
i might actually go do this...

Bait and Switch? That term implies that there is some sort of con or a misrepresentation of goods and services.
I just love misinformation. GC or Sam Ash for that matter when I worked there have always made
clear that these contests are a promotion. Of course this is designed to bring people into the store. :idea: The bottom
line however is that it is a cool competition that you can win some really great gear worth alot of money. I have never
seen anyone "buy gear" in order to sway a judge. The judges that do these competitions are independent and not affiliated
with GC at all.
