Well isn't this fun - you've all been asking for a giveaway so I've partnered with Somnium guitars to offer this really cool, hot-swapping pickup guitar to one lucky winner!
You're going to have a chance to win one of their $1,600 guitar packages. This Guitar, with your choice of in-stock pickups and a gator hardshell case - all you have to do is participate in the TSM Guitar Contest. What is this? Well, the Trogly's Somnium Guitar contest is a riff contest. The beauty behind this is you don't have to be a fantastic guitar player to write a killer riff. There is no reason you shouldn't enter. None at all. I'll be disappointed if you don't and I'll never do this again haha
So here's what you do. First, don't forget to like the video and subscribe to the channel if you're not already - you might even consider sharing the news with your friends. Second, head on over to my website where you can download the drum backing track - I've got a link in the description too . From there, create an original riff of your own and record it - either on your phone or through more professional means. Please then upload it to YouTube with the title "Somnium Guitar Contest."
From there, both Somnium and Myself will have some say in the final judging. Catchy riffs are what we are focused on - but creativity and the reactions of others will also be considered in the judging.
Only one can win - and the contest is open world-wide. The only catch is if you're outside the continental USA, you'll have to cover the additional shipping costs. Entries will be accepted until July 20th so that gives you roughly 2.5 weeks to get something together. I will be making a compilation video to announce the winner.
Good luck - and now let's learn all about this maker of guitars and why you should be really excited for this opportunity.
July 20
