No Strings Attached - Air Guitar

iReport — Air Guitar Hall of Famer BJÖRN TÖRQUE (documentary Air Guitar Nation and author of To Air is Human) takes my mic and interviews the San Diego contestants during the regionals before the US Championships in Chicago, July 23rd. USAG COMPETITION OVERVIEWEach US Regional and The National Finals consists of two rounds. In Round 1, each competitor performs to a song of their own choosing. In Round 2, the top competitors from Round 1 perform to a surprise compulsory song. In each round, contestants perform for one minute of a song and are judged on a combination of technical merit, stage presence, and "airness." All guitars must be invisible. In each city, the jury is a panel of independent judges that are hand picked by US Air Guitar. One winner from each city will be flown to Chicago to compete in the US Air Guitar Finals for the crown of US Air Guitar Champion. The 2011 US Champ will then be sent to Oulu, Finland on August 26th to represent the USA in the World Championships, where he or she will compete against national champions from all around the world.       .
