VI HAR EN VINDER!!!

Efter 2 drøje måneder og intensiv lytning, har Paul Gilbert udset Anton Lindsjö i Uppsala som vinder i SOLOMANIA 2009 med motiveringen:

Congratulations! Your soloing has both strong rhythmic content and super fast and clean lines. You did a great job playing with the chord changes too. But most of all, your playing has so much CONFIDENCE and power. Keep playing!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vi gratulerer Anton for æren, berømmelsen og gevinsten, som er en Ibanez Prestige-guitar!

Samtidigt vil vi gerne gratulere alle finalister i finalplaceringen og præmien af kabler og strenge fra Planet Waves og D’Addario. Paul kommenterer disse bidrag således:

Jannick Damkvist: I like your tone and vibrato a lot. You play some very fast lines that need to be cleaned up slightly or locked into the groove more, but overall I really like the way you SOUND. Keep playing!

Fredric Forsman: Really nice tone and phrasing as well. Be careful with the fast playing, it might need to be cleaned up a little. But your tone and ENERGY are great when you play phrases at normal speed. Keep playing!

Dennis Petersen: It's refreshing to hear some clean tones. Your rhythmic and MELODIC SENSE are excellent. Your vibrato and groove are both very good, but you can make them even better with practice and time. Keep playing!

Christopher Vest: You got some good ROCK guitar vocabulary. Bends, hammer-ons, wah-wah pedal, etc. Just keep adding new ideas to train your fingers and your ears. Keep playing!
