Stevie Cruz of local metal band Hammerlord is hosting this regional competition of guitar-playing pantomiming. There are two rounds. In the first, entrants perform a minute of a song of their choosing; in the second, the song is a surprise. There are no losers in air guitar, at least as far as I'm concerned, but the big winner of this competition advances to the national finals, and the winner of that goes on to compete in the Air Guitar World Championships in Finland, which somehow seems like the perfect location for such an event.
