50 Days of Demon Hunter - Day 11: "Just Breathe" Guitar Tablature Contest!

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 13:02:57 -0800

Demon Hunter have posted guitar tabs for a new, unreleased song from their upcoming album called "Just Breathe." Included are parts for rhythm guitar, lead guitar and a solo that can be downloaded here.

In order to enter, start by watching guitarist Patrick Judge explaining the contest on YouTube. Then download the tabs and try to get the song figured out. As the song is unreleased, it should be interesting trying to get it right since you haven't heard it yet, but that's a part of the fun! Once you think you've got the song or solo down, film yourself playing it.

After you've recorded yourself playing the song or solo, post it on YouTube as a response to Patrick's video and those responses will be the entries into the contest.

The deadline to enter is February 28th! At that time the band will personally review each of the entries and post a video of Patrick playing the song. The person with best performance will receive a signed Dean Guitar!
