Guitar war thoughts?

Hey everybody, whats goin on?

I've been kind of curious about guitarwar.com for a long time now..it looks so awesome! i'm finally ready to join tonite and just want to ask everybody's opinion about it. Good things, bad things, general attitude, etc

thanks

I can't tell you about guitarwar because I never joined it, although I'm still thinking about it. :) However, there's another guitar competition site called http://www.guitarbattle.com which I participate at regularly. My username there is Plasmaball. I can't tell you which is better, but I'd assume that guitarwar is because it's a pay site. You probably would be better off there if you're looking to improve your technique, skills, or whatever. However, if you're just looking for a good battle, guitarbattle is pretty fun. The calibre of talent on these sites is phenomenal. You're against the 'creme de la crop'. It's certainly a fun way to meet new musicians, exchange ideas, and showcase your talent. :)

What if you're not quite up to post-berklee-graduate calibre? Do they match you up with people with similar abilities on guitarwar.com?

Yes, there are different catagories. If you are really good you can participate in the pro war or if your not so good you can participate in the amature war or get put against against people that of your own standard. Thats all i really know. I'm hoping to sign up soon :)

You have to have a halfway decent recording setup,am I right?It would just be lousy if I put my roland cube up to my crappy pc mic and played with no bass or drum track.
