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..
