So the Deftones contest, where a Steph LTD ESP guitar is the price (signed by all the members).
Let's do something together and win this thing and then auction it for Chi!
Let's do it!
I play drums.
Requirements:
Decent playing + decent equipment (to record as well).
Recording software, something like Cubase. We'll figure it out
We also need an epic song. Like V just told me, something from Linus?.. Answers? i dnno man...
RULES REMINDER:
Send us video uploads of YOU playing any DEFTONES original track on guitar.
You can play a riff, solo or entire tune. Choose any song you'd like from any DEFTONES album, use your imaginations and put together the best video you can.

what about dai the flu?
good idea
in the few videos i've seen, subliminal sounds really great
why not cover a song from the new album? maybe one that you think will be the next single (assuming there will be one). Sextape?
I would love to do this and Yes I do play Deftones covers on my guitar. But there are so many better sounding kids out there that are so freaking good that I'm not going to even try to attempt this.

If that whiney BS becomes the next single someone at WB should be punched.
i'll mix it with protools...
i play guitar as well, and drums, and keys and all that shit, i could do vocals, too.. but i might just sit this one out and put it all together.. i'm working on a bunch of music projects right now
DO DAMONE!!!

This is true haha
Teething or Lotion!
i'm gonna do royal i think.
Sorry but all of you will fail. Ive already won. I'll auction off the guitar though
I'm not in the States, so I don't have any chance. Otherwise I'd just put up my Rocket Skates cover.

yeah that's why i didn't get this... i'm still gonna enter a submission me playing guitar, i thought this was like an extra thing...
edit: plus it's only a 3 min maximum entry.. so .... yeah... gonna be tough to do a whole deftones track under 3 minutes
yeah thats why i've changed my idea to one of their under 3 minute songs like rickets or street carp
right..
my thought was to do a whole band-cover... make the guitars louder, and include a video of the guy playing guitar..
so, guitar cover + backing band ;-)
so we still need a bassplayer?
And you have to be in the states, might as well send it to Gina straight away then...
well having to be in the states sucks. guess i'm out. unless anyone wanted me to do some guitar stuff for them. either way it sucks i'm omitted from all these contests they're always having. i've said it many times and i'll say it again. FUCK EASTERN CANADA! no shows, no contests, no street team, it's most displeasing.
You guys should try dai the flu for Chi!
Someone who wins ESP guitar should auction it and support OneLoveForChi :) It would be great.
Quote from: Vesanic on May 16, 2010, 07:28 AM...
i love the "back to school!!" after the first chorus hahah
If this actually happens I can do some vocals. I'm not bad at all and I'd love to support Chi. I also have some decent condensers and ProTools to record with, so I can at least produce some quality sound, if nothing else.
**Edit** Also, the video aspect of having a few people come together from different places all under the auspices of supporting Chi could really make it a winner. We could edit clips of people playing together, and have a short message at the end about hoping Chi gets better and that the guitar would be auctioned off in support of OneLoveForChi.com. Sounds like a completely good idea to me. We couldn't do a whole song though, and a short one would be best, as it would give us the 30 seconds we'd need at the end for the video message from everyone. As long as the person submitting the video is from the States, I'm sure our European and South/Central American brothers and sisters could help out as well.
Much respect,
-Matt

Move to america its awesome
Does anybody know what is going on with the contest?? The winners were supposed to be announced over a week ago (June 4th), but there is nothing on the UG site. Someone wrote this on Deftones Facebook page (not sure if it's true or not):
QuoteTHIS IS WHAT WMG IS DOING TO YOUR FANS THAT ENTER YOUR CONTEST ON YOUTUBE!!!
Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use..
This was a personal video made and submitted to WMG's client the DEFTONES. It's their song and they are the one's having the contest. The video was not made to sell or otherwise gain profit by posting to the DEFTONES youtube/guitar world contest. I have reported to the DEFTONES and GUITAR WORLD, that their video contest is being intereferred with by WMG's "muting" and even in some case DELETING the contestants videos. Clearly these submissions to the contest are not infringing on any of WMG's copyrights. This is absolutely ridiculous. There is NOTHING under the Content ID Matches secion of my account either. This type of action by WMG will damage the freedom of young musicians who enjoy playing the songs of their peers and idols in the industry. To say that these are copyright infringments, is simply assinine! Just search your own site for videos and responses to WMG! It is staggering the number of people that have been affected by this. If someone was recording WMG's "content" with the intent to sell for profit, this might be different. But a contest sanctioned by the "writer" of the song and soliticiting video submittals is no infringment on whatever rights WMG has to the music and songs of DEFTONES. It is just hurting the fans. We have not had this trouble with any other cover song we have made and posted on YouTube for other contests. This could cost YouTube also. If we can't post through YouTube to the contest, we will post through some other site.

Deftones Ultimate-Guitar Cover Contest Medley (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKvTMnHB6Hc#)
Nifty. :D
So fast paced though. I'd like to hear maybe like 5 seconds of each just so I know what I'm hearing.
But hella tight still. Props.
thanks.
yeah it is a lot faster than i wanted it, but there was a 3 minute time limit and i wanted to get every song in there.
wow dude, well done, specially the DE parts!
Oh yeah, forgot about the time limit. T_T
haha that was badass man.. i agree, way too fast paced but i understand it's only a 3 minute limit... haha very nice though dude... wouldn't be surprised if you're a runner up or a winner... that was original...
Nice job whitefur! That was really sick man. I hope u win it!
The idea is the best alone! And great work! 8)
i didn't win the grand prize, but i am one of the runners up.
The winner was solid, but I liked how whitefur incorporated songs from every album.
hummm... i'd prefer whitefur would win the prize, due to the incorporation of the new album, the winner did a very good job.... and that's exactly I didn't want to do..... riffs from the songs... but the guy did link each riff very good...
i thought some of the riffs were out of tune, especialy the white pony songs.
I prefered whitefur video, the sound was much better
here is another runner up, pretty funny:

That shit is insane. i mean okay the vocal aint great, but to be able to do that all together and make it listenable is amazing.
I am decent at guitar but i find it difficult to play and sing at the same time. This guy played the drums really well too, incredible...

+1
i personally don't like the winner, half of the songs aren't even in the right tuning and his timing is way off in some spots... oh well..

New grand prize winner announced today because the previous winner was disqualified for being outside of USA (Ireland):
Deftones Medley - Deftones ultimate guitar cover contest (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmFFcIkbSUk#)

Who judged this competition again?
his camera is showing a mirrored image.......if you look at his shirt, the word is backwards. he is left handed playing a right handed guitar upside down (like Jimi Hendrix). the messed up part is that he didn't even restring the strings to put the thickest strings on top, crazy.
wow didn't notice he didn't restring it.. on that note then i guess it's not that bad... but this is by far nothing special otherwise...
cant believe he won it...who judges this anyway?? the band? >:(

Deftones Medley - Deftones ultimate guitar cover contest (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmFFcIkbSUk#)
jesus christ, that won the grand prize? ;D
also notice the video is flipped so he's playing a right handed guitar left handed. that's really the only impressive thing and i've seen a lot of lefty's play like that because they learn on a right handed guitar and get used to playing upside down. overall though it was pretty wack.
I liked mine better though ;D ;D
It took me FOREVER to cut 67 songs down to 3 minutes, just trying to pick out the most recognizable parts and linking them in order to flow smoothly. And practicing and memorizing all the transitions from song to song. Oh well. It was fun though.

:o NICE!
the winner really? That section of change was sooo bad... but I mean it was well knitted however with the selection of riffs from each song... Overall I expected alot of tough and creative competition but when it all comes down to it... deftones songs really arnt that hard to play on guitar.

Did you use single tuning for 6 str parts and 7 and 8? At same points I coudn't even recognize the riff, though

i used the tunings that stef uses. i went in the exact order of songs from album to album so if there is a riff that you couldn't recognize then you will be able to figure it out by knowing what song it comes after or before. i didn't even want to include SNW because there aren't manny good riffs at all in that album, KimDracula probably being the best. But i didn't want to exclude any albums or songs.
Get me right, some songs are not guitar parts, but you transferred as a guitar parts... and it sounded OK. SNW has some heavy parts in each track I think... you didn't use any, but a little Cherry Waves clean part was great! The reason I asked is not only I didn't recognize, just curious how did figure out some parts like Uninteresting event and stuff... As I thought you had 6 string guitar and played all the songs to S/T era on your own tuning, then took 7 string guitar and played the rest the single tuning (standard(?), finishing the DE album. I noticed some video dissolve during 6 string playing, maybe that time you'd had your guitar retuned. oops..i thinks it's too much. fuckimdrunk (c)

for the few songs that don't have guitar i just played the same notes that the synths were playing.
i recorded each album separate and faded them into each other so it wasn't all one tuning.
adrenaline was standard. ATF drop w/ half step down. White Pony drop w/ full step down. ST was 7 string down 1 1/2 steps i think. SNW was drop tuning down 1 1/2 steps i think. DE was played same tuning as Stef, just without the high e string.
All of you entries wold have lost this shit is amazing
