Do you feel like you deserve more credit for your guitar chops than you receive? Well, I have the best way for you to rightfully earn some bragging rights. Ernie Ball is searching for the next best undiscovered guitarist and will offer him or her a chance to perform at Madison Square Garden.

Partnering up with Guitar Center, Guitar World, UltimateGuitar.com and ReverbNation.com, Ernie Ball has announced the 2013 Play Crossroad contest, where one lucky winner will perform live on stage at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival 2013 at MSG on April 12th-13th.

Presented by Chase, the festival draws thousands of fans from around the world to watch iconic guitar players such as, Clapton, BB King, Buddy Guy, Jeff Beck, John Mayer, Sheryl Crow, Steve Winwood, Vince Gill, ZZ Top and many more, doing what they do best.

Unsigned musicians can now enter the Play Crossroads contest for free at PlayCrossoads.com by completing a short information profile and uploading one MP3. Contestants are encouraged to use ReverbNation’s promotional toolkit provided on each band/artist profile, to promote their entry all over the web and drive traffic to their profile.

The winning artist will not only perform at the festival, but will also receive an Ernie Ball Package and Endorsement, an Ernie Ball Music Man Guitar Endorsement and a Guitar World Magazine Feature.

Good luck Shockya readers and remember to give us a shout out from the stage!
