ENTER ACOUSTIC GLORY HERE
Faith Guitars and Shadow Electronics have teamed up with YouTube Guitar-Hero, Rob ‘MonkeyLord’ Chapman to launch a global search for the next acoustic star. The Major Prizewinner of the competition will get not only a £700 Faith Guitar and great Shadow pickups and accessories, but they will also become a listed, endorsed Faith and Shadow Artist with all the benefits that follow.
Including the three further runners-up prizes, the Acoustic Glory prize value exceeds £2000.
The ‘Acoustic Glory’ competition - which commenced on 1st October 2009 and is due to run for till 30th November 2009 - requires all entrants to compose and play an original 90 second piece of acoustic guitar music – whether it be a song or an instrumental - the upload it as a video response to the entry video. This 90second limit will ensure that all the judges will be able to absorb the hundreds of entries properly and judge the contest fairly.
Alex Mew, Faith Guitar’s Brand Manager explains the reasons behind ‘Acoustic Glory’.
“It’s all about giving guitarists more of what they want. Of course we can’t guarantee a headline stadium tour of Europe, but we can help to bring their talents and hard work to the attention of many of their musical peers and even more excitingly to the attention of industry professionals – including ourselves - who scour the web looking for the next big artist. That’s why Faith and Shadow decided to offer an Artist Endorsement deal as well as the physical prizes.”
“Working in partnership with Rob Chapman’s alter-ego ‘MonkeyLord’ is a no-brainer, as his YouTube channel and Forum members outnumber those for much bigger, more highly funded artists. Rob Chapman himself is an accomplished musician with a very large online fan-base, and as he is an exclusive Faith and Shadow artist as well as being a newly appointed Marshall Amps artist, his influence is unquestionable. He has the power and network to draw huge crowds to take part in Acoustic Glory, and so we can be sure of a great result for everyone.”
“We’re excited,” continues Mew, “as this competition is a new approach for us and it promises big things - great brand awareness for Faith and Shadow, loads of great exposure for all those competing artists, and i'm sure a hugely enjoyable experience.”
The Acoustic Glory competition is the latest collaboration between Barnes & Mullins and Rob Chapman. The world’s first collaboratively designed guitar ‘Chapman Guitar’s ML1’ – will be available in early 2010.
