Guitar Center Teams With Grammy Award-Winning Musician Vince Gill To Launch A Nationwide Search For Undiscovered Guitarists
New York, NY (Top40 Charts / Guitar Center) Guitar Center has partnered with GRAMMY� Award-winning country music legend Vince Gill to present OnStage with Vince Gill. Now in its fifth installment, the artist discovery program offers undiscovered guitarists career-launching opportunities, and this year's installment gives the winner the chance to open for Gill on one of his U.S. tour performances, record a single with GRAMMY award-winning producer Justin Niebank (who has produced records for the likes of Gill, Sheryl Crow and Keith Urban), and take home new gear, $10,000 cash and more.

How to Enter: Starting today, undiscovered guitarists across the United States are invited to submit their version of Vince Gill's new single "Take Me Down" at guitarcenter.com/onstage. Gill will hand-pick five finalists from the submissions to perform live at a grand finals event in Los Angeles, where one grand prize winner will be named.

Guitar Center OnStage exemplifies the retailer's ongoing commitment to developing unique programming that provides musicians with the opportunity and exposure to further their success. Previous editions of Guitar Center OnStage featured Jane's Addiction, Slash, Mötley Crüe and KISS, with Mötley Crüe's winning band, The Last Vegas, going on to win iTunes critics' 2009 "Rock Single of the Year" with their hit single "I'm Bad."

"I had no hesitations when Guitar Center approached me about this opportunity to give back to the musical community and support undiscovered artists. There's something very exciting about hearing new talent and knowing that I now have the ability to give them a helping hand and guide their young careers. I can't wait to hear how people cover my new single, and I look forward to hearing submissions!" -Vince Gill
"Guitar Center's OnStage offers unsigned musicians a platform to get their music heard by legendary artists. Vince Gill is a country music icon with 20 GRAMMYs and countless recognitions for his songwriting, producing and performance work. It's thrilling to see an artist of his caliber give back to the musical community by providing emerging artists what they need most - an opportunity."

-Jake Cheung, manager of music marketing and artist relations at Guitar Center
