St. Louis Ready-Set-ROCK! Guitar Hero and Rock Solo Contest Winners:

St. Louis

Rock star Derek St. Holmes with some of the kids at Fazio's Frets and Friends in St. Louis for the first weekend of the Ready-Set-ROCK! Tour.

Camp Jam and NAMM's Ready-Set-ROCK! Tour just wrapped up its first successful weekend and crowned the first Guitar Hero III and Rock Solo contest winners of the tour. We got the word from B&G Music and Fazio's Frets and Friends music store in St. Louis that those places was packed out with kids wanting to take part and jam with a real rock star.

The Rock Solo contest at Fazio's was taken down by Mason Williams, who absolutely tore it up on the guitar. He won a week at Camp Jam 2008 in St. Louis this summer. Check out this video of his performance:

The Guitar Hero portion of the tour stop at Fazios was won by Tim Wilhelm, who gets a $100 gift certificate to Fazio's for the accomplishment.

The Guitar Hero contest at B&G Music pulled in 19 kids battling for a chance to play up against rock star Derek St. Holmes. In the end, it was James Louvier who beat out everyone else to take on Derek and win a $100 gift certificate to Fazios. Here's a pic of the triumphant victor:

The Rock Solo contest at B&G Music was won by Colin Lawrie, who also got a week at Camp Jam 2008 rock music camp in St. Louis.
