No Remorse

Rules to respect (any violation could discard your participation):
  • "Riff Life" must appear visually all along your video in any form: hand-written paper, video watermark or official T-shirt worn: it's up to you!
  • We must hear only you playing, with no backtrack, and not mixed with several takes
  • Respect length: 60 seconds maximum
  • Use landscape mode, not portrait...
  • Respect the theme: Play a part played by Cliff in the Metallica records or lives, either note-for-note, or even better: arranged through your own filter: unleash your creativity!!

Make sure you follow these rules, when you record your video!!
