Blues Song Submissions Are Up!

Please take a moment to stop by the forum and have a listen. There are some great tunes in there and hopefully some more on the way.

GuitaristWorks Sites Blues Tunes

Guys we just processed a few minor fixes to the site. The biggest being a bug in the Arrange Song Order where tracks were being rebuilt from oldest to newest. They should now be appearing in the order you want them to be in.

Please let us know if you see anything odd!

The Blues Same Song Title Madness is coming up fast. I hope everyone is close to being done!

We have not done a Blues Site Song yet and I think this one will be a blast to do. June 23rd will be the due date so you have some time to finish it. As usual, please hold all submissions until the specified date. We will open up the forum on that date so everyone can post a link to their song on their artist page. Please make this a new song and do not pull one from the archives!!

There are no set requirements for this submission. You can add vocals if you like, make it acoustic or SRV style. It is entirely up to you. Just have some fun with it. Remember to use the resources on this site if you need help with your track. We will also try and do something special for the best track!

Please post any questions you have HERE.

Hi All!

Just a quick message to let everyone know about some changes. For the most part this is going to become a 100% free site. As we have always said, this site is not about a profit. It is about having some fun and making some music. If you learn a few things along the way, even better.

All Members can now change their themes and upload more songs and have downloads. As long as the bandwidth holds up, we will let it fly!

Please Note the Artist URL's have been changed. They now make more sense! Your links will now always appear as:
http://www.guitaristworks.com/bandname/
http://www.guitaristworks.com/bandname/audio
http://www.guitaristworks.com/bandname/radio
http://www.guitaristworks.com/bandname/fans
http://www.guitaristworks.com/bandname/charts

This will allow Google to index your page and also provides easier links.

I will let everyone know about the other changes shortly.

Thanks,
Dazed

Hi all!

Just wanted to let you know since we upgraded the site we have made a few changes. We have increased the maximum bit rate per song for non-members to 160k. For members we have bumped that up to 224k.

We have several other changes coming up in the not so distant future so this is a good time to upgrade and become a member!

Thanks for supporting this site,

Mr Nick Nasty is modifying the <a href="http://www.guitaristworks.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9315">Cancer Research DVD</a> to include two DVD's. This will require the need for some additional material. If you would like to be a part of this project and donate a song or a video, please read the thread and let Nick know!

Well all there is one more day left for the <a href="http://www.guitaristworks.com/bands/10/event.php">Dallas Guitar Show</a>. WildCherry and I will be out there tomorrow. Maybe we will buy a little guitar for baby Kaitlyn .

If you live in the area, this is an event you do not want to miss!!

Hey Guys!

Just wanted to let everyone know that we made a change to the Artist Pages today. You can now add your YouTube Videos to your Artist Page. This is enabled for All GuitaristWorks Members and all themes. You will now see a Video Menu link on your Artist Page. Here is an example thanks to FastRedPonyCar . Sorry FastRedPonyCar but it was a quick way to test this out!

FastRedPonyCar
When you log into your Artist Page and click on the Control Panel link, you will now see a Videos section in the menu on the left.

1. Click the Create Video link.

2. Fill in the Video Name, Video Credits, New Album or Existing Album and Video Genre.

3. When you get to [size=18][color=red]Video Caption[/size], cut and paste the embedded video link from your YouTube site.

4. Then below that code, add any comments you would like about the video.

5. If you scroll down, you can Upload a Video Image or choose from an existing image you have already uploaded.

Do not worry about the Upload Video File, Import Video File or
Video Viewer Access since these are effectively disabled. You must use YouTube to host the video.

Please let me know if there any issues!

We have also completed the upgrade of the server. Hopefully we have corrected any and all issues!

Again thanks to everyone for supporting this site.
