Meno's Garage Contest Announcement & First Giveaway

in #dtube6 years ago (edited)

Grant you this is a working title, because its not really a garage sale as much as it us having some fun, and me cleaning up the things I've bought over the years, passing them on to people that could benefit from owning them. But, since I'm one of those idealists that believes in merit. I would like to do this in the shape of a contest, get some people pumped, get some people working for it.




The Rules


I'm going to be asking people to vlog for the duration of this little giveaway games we are going to be playing. Yes, you must be comfortable in front of a camera. I would like to say the competition is open for everyone in the world, but because I'm a wealthy man in many ways but money. I can't really afford shipping things all over the place. So, if you decide to enter the giveaways and you don't live in the US. Let me know, lets see how much it would cost to ship it to you, and if you are willing to cover the cost - (what I would have paid locally). I'm more than happy to ship the prize to you.

General Rules to Qualify:

  • You must upvote and resteem this post (this helps me with shipping costs)
  • You must make a video vlog about the Subject Requested
  • You must use @dtube and possibly make a youtube mirror (the latter being recommended, not required)
  • You must post on the comment section your entry post.
  • The winner will be chosen by me and a panel of Unicorns I will be recruiting later.
  • Each Giveaway expires at payout

None rules, but recommendations

  • Be original, don't copy anyone else's entry or you are sure to not win
  • Be as creative as you want. Cookie Cutter vlogs are probably not winners
  • Be supportive of everyone participating, this is about community
  • Be grateful, choose to be happy... and then show me!

First Giveaway!!


Ok, so to kick things off. This particular item might be of great interest to those who love playing acoustic guitar, specially if the guitar is strictly acoustic. Have you ever wondered how you get amplify the guitar, make it sounds super ninja on stage? - Well, here you go.


(Brand new in Original Packaging)

As my brother @pechichemena would say. BOOM! - With this soundhole pickup you could get to rocking like you would (phrase stolen from the Buckster Duckster). It comes with everything you need, including of course the cable you see on the picture there. So all you gotta do is plug it into your amp or PA system, set the levels and you are good to go.

If you wonder how it sounds, check out this video:


Guitarist not included

What's the vlog about this time?


Very simple my friend. You are going to help your community dream a little bit. You see, you can't live off dreams, but you can't dream what you want, you will never know what to strive for. So the first video is exactly about that. It should answer questions like.

  • Why are you here to begin with?
  • What makes you get up in the morning?
  • How do you feel about the Steem Community, The musicians, the none musicians.
  • Where do you see yourself in a year?

You don't have to use those questions per say. I don't want someone reading the question. Giving me a short answer and then moving on. I want to see/hear your heart, your soul. I want to know what moves you, what motivates you to create content, to engage.

And that's it.... Leave me a link to your post below, a link to your vlog. I will try to curate the best replies with some @helpie's , because that is precisely what helpies do.

Anyways... let our fun BEGIN

Product Information

Sort:  

Dude... What is it called?!

Could you link to an explanation page?

Would it work with a Uke?

It's it's strickly an acoustic... how does it connect to the guitar?

Does it NEED plugged in to an amp/speaker for it to work, or does it also amplify acoustically?

I have soooooo many questions!


UPDATE:

After further investigation, I found the video above is titled! Woohoo! Thank you Youtube!

Thank you for sharing that... I will edit, the post with this link!

it works on steel string guitars only my dear friend.

...but because I'm a wealthy man in many ways but money.

Hahaha. I love your sense of humor, and probably it wasn't meant to be funny but it really is.

Would you happen to have extra cameras in that garage? Cause that's the only thing I can think of right now? Or perhaps a 24MP Phone :D

I'll pass on this first one, my talents can only be so mucj, and playing instruments isn't one of them!

Oh, im going to keep on going. I may even do a phone.. I'm serious... but it wont be a something made this year, but pretty good. Im going to think about it

Fingers crossed for that one aha! :D I will however enjoy reading other people's entries. Sounds like such a Fun communal contest. Xo

When's the deadline, Meno? This sounds super fun...

when this post expires... so entries until next monday!!
