Shred With Slash

How would you like to shred with Slash? OK, peeps, if you have a band and you want a shot at the big-time, here's a contest for you!

You could record with Slash, get a three song EP recorded and grab some awesome gear, including $10000 in Ernie Ball gear and a $10000 shopping excursion to Guitar Center.

Included in the prize is an opening slot at Slash's Monster Energy Bash, a management deal and the record gets produced by Mike Clink, the same dude that has produced albums by Guns 'n Roses, Motley Crue and Megadeth. How's that for some creds?

You can enter now until April 30, 2010. You have to be 18 or older and a resident of the US. Winners will be determined not only by fan votes (proving you have a market with your fans voting), but also Slash and Mike Clink reviewing your tunes. Get the details below...

This is a chance to really take a shot at hitting it big. Enter the contest at Your Next Record with Slash.

There's also another contest from Ernie Ball and Slash to make a valuable contact and win some cool prizes.

Ernie Ball and Slash have partnered up to give folks a chance to attend a master class with Slash - to sit at the feet of a rock master.

20 people will get a chance to learn how Slash creates his signature sound and builds his memorable riffs. This once in a lifetime opportunity could lead to even greater chances to get discovered. Just think, rocking out with Slash, him getting to know you and perhaps, becoming a mentor and helping you land your first recording deal.

Like a scene taken from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Ernie Ball has put different colored guitar picks in packages of electric guitar strings. There are Gold, Silver, Red, Black and White colored picks, each corresponding to different prizes being offered. Here's the run-down:

20 Gold - Private Masterclass with Slash!
10 Silver - Music Man instruments
20 Red - $500 Shopping Spree to Guitar Center
100 Black - signed copies of Slash's new solo album
1000 White - pack of Ernie Ball Strings

You wanna do this? Get the Shred with Slash details at the Ernie Ball website. For a chance to win, just visit your local Guitar Center and buy the specially marked Ernie Ball Strings - and hope for the best!
