Hi guys,

My name

[koobaa]

Holy Crap! Sounds like a dream....!

Interesting business model - you have to pay for the backing track (2,49 Euro). If 1000 people do this the costs for flight (economy!) and hotel are more than compensated. I'd like to know how much Mark actually claims for this lesson... btw: how long will this lesson be?

Huh, cool thing... I'd already be happy if I could manage to play a proper RHYTHM guitar on Sultans

I'm totally ecstatic about the news.  It's almost like a dream for guitarists.  One question :  is there  age  limitation to enter this contest ?  I've talked incessantly tonight to convince my  12 year-old son to enter the contest.  He's a heck of a guitar player.   I think he'll give it a try.  How many entries are allowed? 

Thanks,

Afraid the rules state that entrants must be over 16 years of age and the competition winners will have to produce proof of their age http://www.puresolo.com/mk

Hey guys!

In regards to your questions about the competition:
-The mentoring session will last a day (exactly how long that is has not been confirmed yet)
-As was mentioned, the age limit is 16
-Entrants can submit multiple competition entries of eligible tracks but, in the case of multiple versions of the same song being entered, votes cannot be combined or transferred from one entry to another and in the case of multiple entries the highest scoring entry will be the designated entry. An excessive level of multiple entries may lead to disqualification if the organisers deem it necessary in their sole discretion.

Cheers!

One day? Never!!

One hour the most! Mark is very exclusive with this stuff. Maybe one day at British Grove itself, but I do not think MK will show up the whole day!

Even 5 minutes is worth a try It'll be a tough one.. I suspect thousands of entries. For me, as a guitarist, one on one session with MK is beyond my wildest dreams.

I must go for lessons - I havent a note or hair in or on my head

I first picked up a guitar in 1993 with the ambition of playing the widdly bit in the middle of Calling Elvis.

Still can't do it properly.

Looks like no chance for me huh !   I think I'll cook and give him massage then.

You could always pass off your son's playing as your own. Just brush up on your air guitar skills so you can mime along to his killer licks
