Really good stuff is played there. Really worth it.
Hey ^chacron^ don't fear, there are guitarist from all level. You need to be able to solo and produce descent tracks, that's all. There's also a lot of styles which is really cool. Always remember that there's a better guitarist than you but you can still have fun with the competition. That way, you'll never get too cocky. I was outplayed often in my life but never beaten. As long as I play my style, i'll never be beaten. It's just like in real life.(Wow, what a touching moment, almost want to cry).
But seriously, the community is also great back there, althought I spend much more time here.
I will probably enter the competition soon myself. I need the challenge, jamming by yourself can get boring with time.
