We are accepting the first 100 online submissions. Even if all the spots have been filled, please get in touch with us via email and we will place your video on the waiting list.

Once the first 100 submissions are in, we will review every single video to check if they adhere to our guidelines. At this point we will let you know if we have any extra openings.

We also have the entire Romero family taking part as well as a roster of around 60 invited artists.

We all tune our guitars to 440 Hz (A).

We accept any resolution upwards of 720p (720p, 1080p Full-HD, Ultra HD, 4k).

In terms of frame rate, this is completely up to you, however if you can control this setting please shoot in 29.97 fps as the final video will be edited in this frame rate.

Yes, editing your audio is allowed, however the video needs to be a single take. You may even record audio first and video later while listening back to your edited audio performance.

Just remember to wear headphones while recording audio so the click track is not audible in your final submission.

Yes. Your submission will be a single YouTube upload, so unless you are using a TRS-TRRS cable to record audio and video simultaneously on your smartphone, please sync the audio and video before exporting. In most video editing applications this is a one-click automated process. Just remember to turn off the scratch audio track from your camera/smartphone.

We have a few tutorials on how to do this on a smartphone, please head over to our guidelines and recommendations page.

In simple terms, click track is an audio recording with tempo clicks, timed to the exact piece length plus two count-in bars at the beginning. You will be listening to the click track on headphones while recording so we can all stay in sync.

Sure! If possible please submit a video that clearly shows your face and the instrument (no cutting off the top of your head), especially the fretboard, shot from the front or from a slight angle. Eye level shots work much better than low camera angle.

We recommend recording video while there is plenty of natural light to avoid noise in the image. The important thing is not to have window light directly behind you, you will achieve much better results with the window directly in front of you or at a max. 45 degree angle, lighting the side of your face.

Use anything you like for your background, this piece is full of character so you can go crazy!
