General FAQ

"What is Guitar War"?

Guitar War is an interactive web site that puts you up against an opponent in a musically intriguing, yet educational and fun "war" of musicianship. This site will teach you (through interaction with other members with our message board), style, finesse, recording and gear techniques, as well as meeting other fantastic musicians involved with the site.

"Why can't I hear anything when I click on a sound file in the war section?"

All the sound files on Guitar War use MP3 file format. Most versions of Windows have a Windows media player that will play these files once they are clicked and downloaded. However, if you can't hear a file, we suggest downloading a player from one of the sites below. Guitar War highly recommends either the Windows Media Player (http://www.microsoft.com) or the WinAmp player (http://www.winamp.com).

"How do I interact with other members?"

Our Message Board is great place to communicate with our members. Messages here will be read by everyone on the site. This is a good place to ask your technical questions to the others, or ask advice. This board is moderated and you will be dealt with accordingly or banned if the use of profanity, or insults occur. A heated discussion or the occasional argument are all good things and happen in everyday life. But public humiliation and name-calling will not be tolerated.

There are also message boards on every war that takes place. Use these to compliment or give advice to competitors of that war. Constructive criticism in a professional manner is welcomed, but harsh comments or bashing is not allowed and will not be tolerated. If you can't say anything constructive, or aren't sure what you're talking about, simply vote and go about your business. Remember we have beginner players on this site that need instruction and encouragement.
