Sunil's Guitar Contests

Guitar Contest One - #PinkyGuitarShred2025

Okay, so here's the challenge.  I will have a playlist of backing tracks that I've created for you to choose from.  Check them out and see which works best for you.  So what's the challenge?  Here it is.  You are only allowed to use your pinky on your fretting hand!  Also, no slide guitar.  Yes, you can use your picking hand for whatever you need.  Just no non-pinky fingers on your fretting hand!  

When does the contest start?

As of today (8-22-25), I still need 752 more watch hours.

Shortly after I hit the magic 4000 hours of watch time, I will make a 4-week deadline for submissions.

​

Where's the playlist for tracks we can use?

Look to your right! These videos!
