It is YouTube guitar competition bonkers at the moment! First there was Guitar Idol, then the Mayones guitar contest and now Michael Kelly guitars are teaming up with TalentTrove for a Best Guitar Solo Contest. We are excited to specifically partner with TalentTrove on the search for the Best Guitar Solo, in many ways this is becoming a lost art and we are proud to be part of creating a new place for it to come to light.

I love what TalentTrove is all about, said Tracy Hoeft, Founder and VP of Marketing for Michael Kelly Guitars. This world is filled with talented people and it is exciting to see this great venue where those people can get noticed. Michael Kelly Guitars is thrilled to be able to partner with them to create a virtual stage for guitar players specifically to showcase their talent and passion.

The contest will launch June 15 at 10 a.m. and last until July 15 at midnight. A grand prizewinner will receive a Michael Kelly Patriot Custom electric guitar along with $500 provided by TalentTrove. The second place winner will receive a Michael Kelly Nostalgia 60SJCE acoustic guitar.

Well I might just have to enter this one too!
