To enter simply submit your song at beaguitarhero.com before 11:59 p.m. PST on June 30, 2006.

There are a few rules that each entered song must adhere to though. The song must be from independent artists, must be an original piece, and must fall under the ‘hard rock’ or ‘heavy metal’ genre. The track must also feature a lead guitar.
