What is The Before the Dawn challenge?

Before the Dawn is Igor's emotional power ballad, where he fuses melody and signature shred lines. It was released in February this year, and now we want to hear your spin. You can also learn the track note-for-note either as a purchase or with your JTC+ membership. Click here to find out more.

What is Igor looking for?

FOCUS ON BALANCE

Igor is renowned for his high-octane shred, but within that often goes missing his inert ability to play the right notes, and to embed melody into his solos. So for this month, Igor wants to see how you balance the flashy and the melodic, just like he did with Before the Dawn.
