Wanna win a cool new guitar????

Fretlight, the cool people that make guitars that have lights on the frets for learning how to play, has graciously sent us a cool, black guitar for our wonderful giveaway, so special thanks to them, they rock!!

The above model is what I received in the mail and it will arrive in the same pristine shape that you see in the picture. It’s cool, it’s black, it rocks, and the best thing is, you can win one free.

(Editor’s Note: The guitar that is being given away is not a lefty as you see here, it was the only really good picture I could find. Thanks Scott!)

All you have to do is leave a comment with your best musical memory. For extra entries, you can stumble this post (and comment to let me know you did) and link to it. So, all in all, you have three chances to win!!

ALSO (yes, there’s more!), second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh place will not go home empty handed, either!

The wonderful people at iMainGo have sent us some iPod/Zune/iPhone portable speakers that will rock your socks off! Here’s a pic with the specs:

Check them out here.

Third, fourth, and fifth place prizes will be these cool Turbo Tooth Tunes toothbrushes!

I have three of those for the giveaway. These rockin’ toothbrushes actually play two full minutes of a cool song to ensure that your little one brushes for the proper amount of time.

I have High School Musical 2, Hannah Montana, and Kiss!! The HSM one plays, “What Time Is It”, Hannah Montana’s is “We Got The Party” and the Kiss one plays, “Rock ‘n Roll All Nite”.

Here’s a pic of what they look like:

Sixth place will receive a CD by Laura Bryna, she’s a country artist who, my mother says, sounds like LeeAnn Womack (not sure who that is…lol). Stay tuned for the official review by my mother. She’s an avid fan of country music and says this CD is way cool.

And, last but not least, two final winners will receive a copy of Kimberly Cole’s new CD single, “Nitty Gritty”. She reminds me of Gwen Stefani a bit and she’s up-and-coming. Check her out, she may just be the next pop queen! (Stay tuned for the review on this one, too.)

So what are you waiting for, leave me a memory and get the ball started!!!

This giveaway is going to run for an entire month and ends on June 18th. At that time, I will randomly select all of the winners through a randomizer, and email you for your address.

If you’re one of the lucky winners, you can come back on the site and do a guest post, reviewing the gift that you received from Earsucker.

Remember, you have three chances to win! A musical memory comment, a stumble, or a link to this post.

(Incidentally, the guitar is not for a lefty, as the picture would suggest.)

    Ok, so I’ve always wanted to learn how to play, and now my four year-old is asking to learn, and I’ve got a two year-old who wants to do whatever big brother is doing, so….

    HELP!!

    Thanks,

    We went to see Sir Paul McCartney when he was in Tacoma, Washington. We flew down from Anchorage, Alaska just for the concert. We had seats on the floor at about the 15th row. Best concert I’ve ever been to. He sang some Beatles songs, Wings and some of his new stuff. Fantastic!

    U2concert was my first concert ever…had fourth row tickets on the floor near those giant speakers…it was amazing.

    When I was in 9th Grade, my buddy and I wanted to see the Grateful Dead in DC. My mom would not let us go hang out with the “deadheads”. The negative connotation was too great. After much pleading, she took us up there (would not let us drive). She hung out in the van while we jammed (slipped the guy a $20 spot) up front to Grateful Dead and Bruce Hornsby. It was awesome. Bruises adorned our chest from getting pressed against the metal fence. When we got back to the van, my mom had a case of beer and food that the deadheads who couldn’t get in gave her. They sat around and cooked food for her and told her their life stories(as this is). They named her SUPERMOM. From then on, we could hit the dead concerts or any concerts by ourselves.

    Walking into a Jimmy Buffett show on crutches with waterguns filled with vodka. They didn’t check that And it was a great summer show.

  • P. Adams Jun 18th, 2008

    My best musical memory is of my dad trying to teach me to play guitar. I was 13 and really wanted to learn. We worked hard that summer and had the best time. But 33 years later I still can’t play that well. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

  • Brandy Jun 18th, 2008

    My fondest musical memory was the summer I went to the very first Ozzfest. I was only like 14 at the time and went with my cousin who’s a few years older than me. We had a great time and saw one of our favorite bands Type O Negative. It was a fun little road trip~

    Seeing Aerosmith in concert!

    Going to my first concert “New Kids on the Block”

    Early in the 1980s, The Police played in Knoxville, TN. I was shooting pictures for the local entertainment weekly paper and had gone to the local Hyatt Regency after the concert to grad a bite to eat and down a cold one or two. While I was there, about 2 a.m., a group of people came into the bar where I was by my lonesome. It was Andy Summers and Stewart Copeland with some roadies and some ladies. They invited me to sit at their table and even bought my drinks. After an hour of small talk, I talked them into a picture or two. They were very cooperative, and so I asked about Sting. They proceeded to take me up to the penthouse suite and there was Sting with a few people have a bite to eat. We got to talk, and he gave me an autograph, but did not want his picture taken. We said our farewells, and the rest is history.

    When I was a teenager I went to listen to every concert a local rocker, Jimmie Clanton, played.

    Years later, I was on my honeymoon in Edinburgh, Scotland, and my husband and I went to a movie on a rainy afternoon. It was one of those early films where every rock and roll band the producer could discover was featured. And, of course, there was Jimmie Clanton!

  • tammy ohagan Jun 18th, 2008

    My fondest memories are sitting on the porch listening to my dad, mom, aunt’s and uncles playing music in the summer time! My dad taught our neighbor boys how to play and they won Battle of the Bands several years in a row. My dad had played all of his life! He even played for Mrs. Roosevelt at the Arthurdale, WV opening of the New Deal Project!

  • Kristie Noguera Jun 18th, 2008

    I remember the first time I jumped into a group of fiddlers and bluegrass players and figured out how to play along even when I didn’t know the tunes.

  • Susanne Troop Jun 18th, 2008

    Taking band in school…I wished that I would have stuck with it!

  • victoria lynch Jun 18th, 2008

    I remember when I was 8 and I lost both of my front teeth. It was at christmas time and I had to sing a solo at the school christmas play. I had to sing “If only I had my two front teeth”. I would sing and smile to show my two front teeth were missing. Everyone was laughing at me and saying how cute I looked. They still talk about my teeth or lack ove at christmas

  • Tammy Greer Jun 18th, 2008

    Listening to “Laila” as a teenager. It brings back such warm feelings of such an uncomplicated time in my life.

  • Trisha Dowling Jun 18th, 2008

    20 yrs ago, i was in the 6th grade i was given a dubbed tape. social distortion on one side and suicidal tendencies on the other. that day changed my life forever. i will never forget that day.

    i commented yesterday but i’m not sure it went through? so i’ll do it again! lol the best musical memory i have is of attending an Evanescence concert when I was in high school. It was awesome! It was also when Evanescence was starting to make it big, so I got to see the birth of their music :]
