What would you perform at an air guitar competition? 🎸 The hereandnow staff picked the songs they'd be most likely to jam out to — everything from Taylor Swift to Led Zeppelin made the list.
“It is ridiculous. It is as silly and absurd as it sounds,” Howard says. “In fact, that's why I wanted to start being an air guitarist to begin with, because I saw that this thing existed and I'm like, ‘That is the stupidest thing ever. I want to be the best in the world at that.’”“It's a sport. It's a comedy show. It's a lot of different things at once. But first and foremost, it is a competition.
“There's some criteria in which they're judged upon. Technical merit: Does it look like you're playing the notes that you're hearing throughout the sound system? Stage presence: How does one fill the stage and feed in and out of the audience with the energy being exchanged? And last but not least, is ‘airness.’ Airness is the je ne sais quoi of this sport and the things in which the judges are looking for to score.
“I'm right-handed, so I would I play my air guitar the same way in which I play the guitar. I'm going to strum with my right hand. That's where I would hold my pick and my left hand would be the fingers on the fretboard that go up and down the neck of the guitar. “High notes on a guitar are played very low on the neck of the guitar itself. So if you're trying to emulate the actual sounds that a there-guitar makes, you're going to play those high notes further down on the neck or the low notes further up on the neck. Those are the things that you want to take into consideration when looking for something technical.”“Air guitarists are some of the finest human beings I've met on Earth. We all get together in Finland for this competition.
“But the language in which we all do speak is that of music. And as a spectator of the sport, you just get to see a bunch of freaks on stage in spandex and hairspray and glitter doing their thing. And it is that as well. But the more you become involved with the community as a whole, the people who are involved are really taking strides and efforts to make the world a better place.”
