I want to be 100% fair to all participants. The giveaway is set up to motivate you to consistently practice. You won't win if you expect to cram all the training during the final stages.  

Here's how a winner will be selected:

• Your 6 month progress in the following areas:
  
  • The Number System
  • Soloing
  • Ear Training
  • Chord Vocabulary
  • Adding the Sauce
  • Connecting Chords
• Your final video submission
• Your ability to share what you know during a Live Zoom session we'll have with all Kampers.  I'll ask you to play a song (you'll be notified in advanced).  You'll also be asked questions or I'll ask you to play something related to the areas mentioned above.  
• Kampers will anonymously rank all participants
• I'll also rank participants
• Bonus points - Creating social media posts throughout the duration of the contest, with hashtag, #kerryskamp

Collectively, the scores will be used to select a winner.

A Taylor acoustic guitar.

 We ask that you take your time and prepare a strong, right to the point video - 4 minutes maximum. In this video share:

• Your full name, where you're from, how long (if at all) you've been playing guitar.
• What your overall guitar goals.
• Why you joined Kerry's Kamp.
• Your experience and knowledge of the following:
  
  • The Number System
  • Soloing
  • Ear Training
  • Chord Vocabulary
  • Adding the Sauce
  • Connecting Chords
• Play your best version of the song that's taught in the Kamp, Voyage to Atlantis (Important - no more than 2 minute). Note: I'm not looking for you to focus on a perfect performance. I need to understand where you are at the time of participating in the giveaway. Share your version.

Unfortunately, we are unable to include you in this contest. We want to make this fair to everyone and that means giving everyone the same amount of time to demonstrate their progress.

As long as you're a member between April 1 and November 1st, yes you may participate. If you decide to register, and for some reason your membership is not active, you will lose your ability to qualify for the guitar.

No problem. Just let us know via the Customer Support form and we'll remove your name from the participant's list.  We still would reserve the right to use your previous entries for marketing purposes.

One of the purposes of the videos is to use them, where appropriate, to help grow Kerry's Kamp. I want others to see and hear how the Kamp has helped you. If you are not able to consent, I ask that you not participate in the giveaway. 

Video quality is important. My team and I are not expecting professional quality videos, but there are some basic things you can do. 

• Wait 2 - 3 seconds before you speak. When you finish the video, wait 3 -  seconds before ending the video recording.
• Hold the device (if using a tablet or cell) horizontally.
• Use a microphone & your cellphone/tablet.  Lighting is important too. Don't record with a light behind you.  It makes the video look poor. Use a stand for your phone / tablet. 

  Here is a video on YouTube that may help you:  CLICK. (Note: What this person says about camera height doesn't fully apply because you're also showing the guitar.)

• When you speak, look at the camera lens. Have fun with this! Smile :) . 

The Support Team is here to help you. Use the Contact form if you need help.  

Send the video to my support team at [email protected] by using WeTransfer.Com. Make sure you put your name and Guitar Giveaway in the Message box. Do not email the video directly. Use WeTransfer.

No.  You can register today, and submit your video later. You must have the video submitted by March 31st however.

Absolutely YES! The winner isn't based on how well you play. The winner is selected based on the PROGRESS you've made by applying the principles I teach within Kerry's Kamp.  You have just as much a shot as winning as someone who considers him/herself at an advanced or professional level.

One Kamper will receive the Taylor guitar . We want to be flexible and see how things progress. Therefore, we may offer additional prizes.  It’s not guaranteed however.

This giveaway will have one winner. I have not decided at this time what will happen with the 2nd guitar.
