As mentioned on MetaFilter, Zac ‘Mr. Magnet’ Monro has won the 7th Annual Air Guitar World Championships (in Oulu, Finland) for the second year in a row. Video of his winning performance is also available.
I watched the video and, while good, I thought it could have been better. I must concur with one of the MetaFilter comments:
Uh-Huh…
If you’re gonna play air guitar, you should at least try to simulate chord changes by switching fingers and moving your hand up and down the “neck” of the guitar, as it were.
Then there’s the whole issue of whether on not to use an air pic or whammy bar…
God dammit Alex! You have to keep reminding me that I’m not there don’t you! Curse you! A pox on your house – a pox!
:)
Josh: if you choose to attend some day, I’ll buy a ticket just to cheer you on :). Up the irons!
Wow, I’m really unimpressed with his performance. But I think it’s sad that I even bothered to watch it.
