雅-MIYAVI- SAMURAI GUITAR PLAYING CONTEST

“NEO TOKYO SAMURAI BLACK WORLD TOUR vol.1” is currently available on DVD, and it documents the first half of 雅-Miyavi-’s three month world tour of 27 shows in 18 countries spanning Russia, Europe, South America, and Asia. In it you can bear witness to his mesmerizing guitar performances that have led many overseas to refer to him as the “Samurai Guitarist”, and this is your chance to copy and master his unique guitar techniques!
Simply select one of the videos of 雅-MIYAVI- playing (one of two categories; the Basic Course or the Master’s Course), and send in a video of yourself playing the same. We’re looking for precision and energy, so if you think you can rock as hard as, or even better than 雅-MIYAVI-, here is your chance to show it!
Your footage will be judged by a panel from GREAT HUNTING, EMI Music Japan’s talent scouting division.
The winner from each category will receive a handsome prize. Note that technical finesse will NOT be the only factor in deciding the winner, though it will be a prerequisite. There may even be a special “other” prize!?
Don`t miss your chance to be involved in this global samurai guitar competition!!
