Do you mean Classical Air Guitar Contest? or Classic Air Guitar Contest, like Classic Coke?

Oh, my limited language.... it's classical :-) .Thanks [sqeaketh]. I tried to imagine an Air Guitar contest, where the performer will adopt poses and gestures like classical (spanish) guitar players. Entering to the scenario with pomp, greet the audience, wait for silence and start the playback. It can't be worst than the rock version.

I'd like to see an entire air symphony orchestra, or air marching band.

I've also fancied a bit of air bass guitar in my time. However I've avoided taking this further as I fear the bass techniques of slaps, pops, thumps, pluck and picks would be too subtle for the usual expectation of cart wheeling, tongue wagging air (rock) guitar aficionados. This would be a similar case for classical guitar. May I suggest that any such contest would be backed by big screens to pick up the subtler close up detail without the editing being too flashy as to alienate the more refined audience.
