so, it is with out question that Timmy tore up the guitar at Guitarmageddon? What are these competitions like? Never been to one.

Do they get to choose what they are going to play or is it a beat dropped and they need to improvise?

the contestants pick their backing track....tpalms was the only dude who actually played a few different styles of guitar..all the other competetors,except the black dude who got robbed for second place imo,were heavy metal balls to the wall nonstop shredding...tpalms was the only professional....btw,the 2 very unexpected rockstar jumps last night made me choke on my gum,and nearly die..that wouldve made for a great story..

rockstar jumps? by non-rockstars? thats absurd, can only image, must have really sucked to make you choke!

Well, it seems that only Timmy knew how to play guitiar professionally. Nothing against the heavy metal chords but that just don\'t cover it when your up against a machine gun :guitar:

Good Luck to Tim in the rest of Guitarmageddon!

Odds on favorite to go all the way in this one! Last night was very weird, not what I expected. Some kids were hitting some bad notes, making lots of mistakes, and not really playing music at all. Tim\'s ditty was really some rippin\' up fusion/jazz kind of stuff vs. mostly heavy metal shredding, e.g. "Pat the Shredder".

I have to agree with you on this one Mark. Not being actually at the G.C Guitarmageddon, many of us already know the ability of TPalms and versus what I know about other bands and guitarists in the state, he has to be at the top. He is definately one of the hardest working guitar players I can think of. How many others play 4-5 gigs a week and probably practice 7.

Where was the Guitarmageddon held?

It sounds from reading this (I wasn\'t there on Tuesday) that there will not be much competition. If we assume that the Orange Guitar Center is an accurate representation of the entire competition, there will only be a handful of decent players nationwide (with some stores producing none). If that is the case, then Jim Palms will take this one to the house!

I bet there will be some really good players at the national level. I mean, there are lots of good unknown musicians around....

Hells yeah. I am excited to see the store finals.... And maybe "hear" the next rounds.....

Timmy is AMAZING, and maybe a rockstar jump is what will tip the scales his way. I mean come on, there cant be a goofier AND nastier guitarist out there....
