CHALLENGING THIS WORLD RECORD

Plan your attempt.

Before you turn on your camera, take some time to think about the world record you are about to set. Will you do it alone, or involve your friends? Do you have all the props you'll need? Have you read the rules?
Film with purpose.

You don't need special equipment or a Hollywood director to document a great record. Focus on telling a great story. Aim to make your video entertaining and concise — rambling intros will scare away viewers. IMPORTANT: If you shoot with your phone, be sure to hold it horizontally.

- a click track or MIDI backing at the claimed BPM must be audible in the recording, with the BPM visible on screen throughout
- the guitar must be clear enough in the recording to pick out each note
- strum the strings first to show you are playing through an amp, or use an acoustic guitar
- start by playing the song at its original tempo alongside the click or MIDI backing, then step up through increasing tempos to the claimed BPM
- a clock must be visible in frame for the whole attempt
- RecordSetter measures the notes per second and the click from the audio, and the measured click must match the on-screen BPM
