Our friend, the late Ronnie Montrose was a zealous advocate of teaching young people about the joys of playing guitar. So, to celebrate Montroses life, his commitment to excellence, his work ethic, and his musical talents, Michael Molenda of Guitar Player Magazine along with our very good friend Leighsa Montrose, Ronnies widow, established the Ronnie Montrose Rock the Nation Award: Honoring Young Guitarists Who Aspire to Greatness in 2014. This year, the award will be given to one girl and one boy between the ages of 10 and 18, who best exemplify the stellar drive and love of the guitar that Montrose tried to instill in children throughout his life. Read the details here. A great opportunity and very cool award! guitarplayer/contest/1141/entries-now-open-for-2015-ronnie-montrose-rock-the-nation-award/50044
