[Jessii]

Hey, i didnt enter cause i can't play guitar!

[mattheal]

[Jessii]

Nah. I have a learning disability, so i feel i wouldnt catch on at all and it would be another humilating band meeting moment!

[WHITE FALCON]

i am going to win:)

[Chovies]

I won't enter, Im not to good at guitar, wouldn't want to make a fool of myself infront of him (god) :D

[WHITE FALCON]

anyone else having trouble signing up, they haven't sent me my email yet...

[Deadcat Kaye]

See, i'ld do it just to be gobsmacked the whole "lesson" by watching him just jam.

I hate playing guitar infront of people lots lots better then me.

[Jessii]

My bf Paul and Dan (Strider) got a lesson from him in 05 haha.

[Matt_to_the_End]

Where was that and....HOW?

[Strider]

I remember that lol That was at The Lookout a few hours before the gig! I think I asked him how to play a few licks from a few songs and he ended up getting out his guitar and went through a mini lesson :p Would be awesome to have a full session with him.

I keep getting an error as well. :confused:

[WhitefalconTLE44]

I'm think i know the answer, but do you have to live in Australia for this?

[Neo]

yes you have to be over 10 years old and a resident of australia.

I like how everyone else can't enter :D because it worked first go for me :D

[white_noise]

Im going to ROFL when I see the winner is S Owen of Melbourne

[Jessii]

I remember that lol That was at The Lookout a few hours before the gig! I think I asked him how to play a few licks from a few songs and he ended up getting out his guitar and went through a mini lesson :p Would be awesome to have a full session with him.

I like how he tried to explain it and then was just like "Oh wait.. I can show you!!"

[WhitefalconTLE44]

Thats pretty much my dream right now, to play guitar with chris. That'd be awesome. I hope someone from the boards win.

[Kacky]

When are they doing the draw? I'd definitely stay in Australia longer to accept a guitar lesson. :p

[Strider]

If I win, I'd like to get a video recording of it so I can prove to ppl it happened :p

[The Dying Start]

Chris, plz teach me some bar chords!

[mattheal]

I so want to win this!!

also glenn 2 things i love the new link picture for 23rdp

and its barre :p

[The Dying Start]

1: Thanks

2: I wish you hadn't told me that, because it could have been a nice ice-breaker when Chris starts giving me lessons.

[Strider]

What's a barre chord? :confused:

[mattheal]

1: Thanks

2: I wish you hadn't told me that, because it could have been a nice ice-breaker when Chris starts giving me lessons.

1 no problem it gave me a good giggle

2, yeah i fell like one of those "oh i play an instrument and you dont" assholes now :(

[Strider]

2, yeah i fell like one of those "oh i play an instrument and you dont" assholes now :(

It's okay, we all see you that way now :)

[Jessii]

When are they doing the draw? I'd definitely stay in Australia longer to accept a guitar lesson. :p

That site has new competitions every fortnight.. so i assume in less then 2 weeks? But no idea when the actual lesson would be ect.

[WHITE FALCON]

in entered =]
i said sweet child because its melodic and beautiful or iron man because its heavy!

[All_torn_down16]

I entered last night :) Thought it was a bit ironic that I said a TLE riff though!

[##thelivingendfan##]

i tried to avoid TLE riffs although that was all that was running through my head while i was trying to think! :p

[WHITE FALCON]

yeah i was gonna say how do we know hahaha

[All_torn_down16]

Yeah, I just couldn't think of anything but TLE riffs, how orginal huh?!

[##thelivingendfan##]

yea, i think quite a few TLE riffs are up there..
what one did you say if you dont mind me asking?

[All_torn_down16]

The one Arin laughed at above :D

[WHITE FALCON]

hahah nicee =]

[Big J.G]

I would enter, but I don't see how the whole lesson with Chris is gonna work.

I'd choose Drist - Arterial Black or Extreme - Play With Me

[WHITE FALCON]

yeah hmmmm

i dont think anyone could teach you guitar haha

[Neo]

haha I was going to say that. yeah I do believe chris plays a guitar with 6 strings, not a plastic one with 5 multi-coloured buttons.

[The Dying Start]

Although that photo of Chris as a toddler would suggest differently

[WHITE FALCON]

hahhah i love that photo
scotty looks ....(corrects self) like such a dero and so does chris but that is a different picture of them in the pool or what ever it is :)
but i do know the one you speak of
he has blonde hair heyy

[paulvroc]

this would be coooooool..........

[The Dying Start]

he has blonde hair heyy

Yeah, strawberry blonde, but he was VERY blonde as a kid...which is good, probably means he was outside alot.

[Erin]

awesome comp...shame i've never used a guitar before. I've only ever looked at them.

no! i tell a lie...i've broken a string on an acoustic. I wanted to see how tight it could tighten.
[awkward/]

yes...don't EVER let me near a guitar, especialy infront of a musician. I'd probably give Chris a heart attack.

[Craigels]

I'm not sure whether to enter or not because:
A) When I play in front of people I become really crap at guitar, singing etc.

B) I would be sooo nervous and shaky the entire time.

hahhah i love that photo

Where did you see this picture?

[Colezy]

I guess that they mean this one? (I haven't read all of the last page)

http://img366.imageshack.us/img366/374/ctlevu8.jpg

[Neo]

I see no multi-coloured buttons on there! I was talking about a guitar hero controller incase we all didn't get it

[Colezy]

I knew even though i hadn't read the other page (you're post is 2nd from the top of this one). But that pic was the first thing i thought of when i read people talking about his hair being blonde as a kid and a guitar with buttons haha

[WHITE FALCON]

Where did you see this picture?

hahah im not sure i have it saved on my pc for some reason
its scott chris as dero kids in a pool
its so late 80's

[Kacky]

Nawww, how cute!

[Colezy]

I'm sure they had better photos from when they were little!

[WHITE FALCON]

HAHAHAHAHAHAH its soo good!

[Elyse]

[Neo]

[Sampson]

its a single cover waiting to happen.


for kid maybe?? ;)

[All_torn_down16]

for kid maybe?? ;)

Haha, that's funny :D

I guess they could put pictures of the guys as kids on there though, instead of having the normal band picture. Might work!

[The Dying Start]

A bit like Everclear's Sparkle & Fade artwork....sweet!

[Jessii]

Another competition, to just win a copy of White Noise
http://www.profero.com.au/bensherman/the_livingend_tc.html

[Kacky]

Ooo, thanks Jess. :)

[Ben reed]

[WakeUpToTheManipulation]

Is it still on?

I just entered and chose All Torn Down.

Hope to win it as a lesson from Chris to me would be like Yoda teaching Luke.
i mean i am no Chris Cheney but that would be sweet, Chris teaching me.



that is if its open still..:p[

[Neo]

ah! your font is blinding me. I was going to pick ATD but I knew everyone under the sun would be picking it :p

[Sarah]

Did it have to be TLE? If I could have gotten the thing to work my pick wasn't going to be TLE...but I had a good answer to make up for it!

[The Dying Start]

Oh lord, i hope i don't stumble across the other two posts by that user today.

[damo0945]

[WHITE FALCON]

[WHITE FALCON]

I've said it before and i will say it again: Never teach pears how to kiss each other as they will use that to bite humans while saying "Poetic eh?"

[livingendrock]

So looks like this competition has been won..... by me!!!!! Hahahahahaha I couldnt believe it. I got a call from a chick from Universal today on the way home from work. She said I'll more than likely go backstage before one of their melbourne shows and yeah, have a bit of a jam. Very excited, cant wait!!

[Colezy]

Haha wow! At least it's gone to a fan and not some random wanting a guitar lesson! :p If you get what I mean!

Congrats!

Wanna invite me backstage at the first Melbourne gig? ;) *hint hint* :p

[Neo]

awesome!! how fun and exciting :D

what did you write as your answer?

[Jessii]

Congrats!!!

[livingendrock]

Aww thanks! Hehe yeah I would've been happy if it went to anyone on here. But im even happier its me haha. Yeah that sounds good, but next time you win a competition, you gotta invite me backstage hehe deal? :p


Im actually surprised I won, because I was so unoriginal and said All torn down, like lots of other people probably would have said lol. But yeah I basically said hearing that riff, and just that song in general was one of the ones that really inspired me to not only take up the guitar, but start writing my own stuff as well. Ill have to post something in the muso forum, cos im sure theres a million questions all those guys would like me to ask him hehe

[Colezy]

Deal!! :D

:p

[Amur]
