Friend of Amuze.me Steve Jones has just been announced as one of the judge’s in this year’s Guitar Rig Hero Competition. Steve, originally from Northern Ireland is recently toured with ‘Air’ and released his own solo album. 

Guitar Rig 3 is a Mac (and PC) guitar effects system available as a software package or together with a foot controller. Native Instruments are giving users to make it big with the system, and don’t worry if you can’t afford it, there is a fully functioning demo on site.  The GUITAR RIG HERO contest allows you to compete for prizes worth over $10.000, including some top-of-the line Gibson guitars, a cutting-edge Quad Core-powered laptop, valuable NI vouchers and more. 

To join the contest, capture a video of the most original and spectacular performance that you can do with GUITAR RIG 3. From the most insane guitar solo to the craziest sound experiments, no sonic or artistic limitations of any kind apply! If you don’t own GUITAR RIG 3, you can simply download the fully functional demo version and use it for the contest. 

Once your video is ready, upload it to your own YouTube account – you can create one for free in just a few minutes – and post it as a video “response” to the title video in the Guitar Rig Hero channel. Please read the “How to join” section below for more details. 

Submissions will be accepted until September 30th, and the public voting will continue until October 14th. If you have not tried the Guitar Rig system before (for Mac and PC) check out our review here.  More information on the competition is available via the Native Instruments site.
