Win A Private Masterclass With Slash!

Courtesy of Ernie Ball strings, twenty guitarists will have a chance to attend a private guitar masterclass with long-time Ernie Ball endorser, Slash.

Just like the Golden Ticket in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, twenty gold guitar picks have been concealed in Ernie Ball string packs -- find one and you qualify for the Slash masterclass, with flight ticket and hotel accomodation thrown in to sweeten the deal. 

Willy Wonka would have been proud.  I just hope that Slash doesn't off his masterclass attendees one by one like Wonka.

A total of 1,000 Slinky, Coated Slinky, Classic Pure Nickel and 7-String Ernie Ball string packs have been released, each with a gold, silver, red, black or white guitar pick.  A non-gold guitar pick wins the finder anything from a custom Ernie Ball instrument, a $500 Guitar Center shopping coupon, a signed copy of Slash's soon-to-be-released  album or packs of Ernie Ball strings.  The contest will run til April 30th.

Personally I would settle for the custom guitar and wait for videos of the masterclass to be leaked on YouTube.
