AGK Karaoke Contest Closed! AGK #14 and #15 news

Posted by admin | Posted in AGK News | Posted on 11-12-2009

Well, the time has come, folks, and we had to end the entry period for our first AGK Karaoke Contest effective Wednesday, December 9th.  We were so happy that so many AGK fans decided to enter and we appreciate your support and kind words.  The quality of the songs are very high and it’s going to be a tough job to pick out the top five best songs.

Over the next few weeks, Kris Farrow will be working on listening to each song entry for the contest.  Again, we’ll be announcing the winners sometime in late December or early January.  Once again, thanks for listening and we’ll be in touch.

AGK #14

AGK #14

AGK #14 is now available in the iTunes store featuring songs such as Untouchable (Taylor Swift), Vulnerable (Seconhand Serenade), Need You Now (Lady Antebellum), More Like Her (Miranda Lambert) and Mama’s Song (Carrie Underwood).

If you’re curious, the super cool cover art for most of the AGK albums is from the amazing artist SIMONOX, who resides in Japan.  He’s most famous for designing the “bird” that you see on the Twitter website.

Kris is also working on AGK #15 which will feature versions of all the new Taylor Swift tracks released on her Special Edition album last month, among many others.

Happy Holidays!

AGK #11 (RINGTONE EDITION)
Kris Farrow recently completed AGK Vol. #11 (Ringtone Edition) and it’s available NOW on iTunes. Instead of pop songs as on prior AGK albums, we thought we should shake things up for summertime and produce an album full of very cool “ringtones” for your phone.

AGK #11 features movie/TV themes from The Pink Panther, Rocky, Halloween, Mission Impossible, Sex and The City, The Godfather, Hawaii Five-O, Raiders of the Lost Ark, James Bond 007 and The Office just to name a few.

Full album downloads feature a FREE bonus track of “Pirates of the Caribbean” exclusively on iTunes – along with a PDF booklet, finally! A total of 22 tracks for only $7.99. It’s awesome, don’t miss out!

MESSAGE FROM KRIS FARROW
We tried something different this time, with an album of (I think) pretty cool ringtones. When I make AGK tracks, I try to arrange and play everything all at once – just one solo guitar track. Occasionally I have to add a little something here and there (like a solo that can’t be played simultaneously, for example), but I try to stay true to the solo guitar concept. For these ringtones, I took a completely different approach.

Basically, I transcribed the full arrangements of the original pieces – be they a rock band or an entire orchestra – and then played every part separately. All on acoustic guitar, of course! I love horror movies so I enjoyed doing the themes from “Halloween” and “The Exorcist,” and I also really thought “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” and the theme from “The Godfather” came out really cool on acoustic. I hope you agree! Feel free to write and let me know at agkblog@gmail.com ! Oh, and check me out on Twitter, too!
