Press Release Summary = Musician War is an international community of musicians who
help and encourage each other to improve their musicianship. The main tool is
two-member on-line competitions. Each member posts an mp3 of his best music, and
other users vote and comment on which entry in the competition is better and why.

Press Release Body = Berkeley, CA-March 21, ,2006 --Musican War was born in 1999 as
GuitarWar.com. The idea for an on-line competition for guitarists came from Peter
Larsen, a key contributor to the guitar lesson site www.guitartricks.com and was
implemented by Jon Broderick, webmaster to Guitar Tricks.

Musican War has attracted a large contingent of advanced metal and shred guitarists
and it continues to grow and become more eclectic musically.

Musician War is an international community of musicians who help and encourage each
other to improve their musicianship. The main tool is two-member on-line
competitions. Each member posts an mp3 of his best music, and other users vote and
comment on which entry in the competition is better and why. Every match is an
opportunity for members to analyze each other\'s efforts and to find the answer to
the age-old question \"what makes one piece of music better than another?\"

Peer-review is the goal of Musician War. The independent musician wants to be
evaluated by another experienced independent musician. The voting is less important
than the comments. When the feedback comes from another musician, it gets serious
consideration. The criticisms offered are viewed positively and constructively for
each artist to grow and improve in their respective styles to present a higher
quality of music. All of the contests are secure to members only and monitored to
keep everyone honest.

This Is How It Works:

1. Members upload MP3 recordings of their own playing.
2. Entries are paired by rules set up by the participants.
3. Each competition lasts for 3 days.
4. Entries are judged and evaluated by other members.
5. The participants learn and improve.

Musician War members collaborate on songs (despite the limitations of being spread
all over the world) to enter in Team War and contribute to annual CDs that benefit
charitable organizations. Members in some localities have annual meetings and many
collaborate on ways to win other contests, and generally try to be accessible to
other musicians looking for ways to improve and network with others. Serious
musicians only are invited to visit the Musician War website at www.MusicianWar.com
for more details and to join the interactive community.
