Dawes is on tour and in the midst of a cover song contest using Soundslice Tab Notation to give beginners a chance to dive right in. The contest also utilizes YouTube for managing entries while extending their social media impact and offers a Fender guitar to the winner. It's a nice example of using a mix of tools and brands to create a marketing event.

[Dawes Covers Competition](http://dawestheband.com/covers/?ref=hypebot.com) is accepting cover version entries of either of their songs, "From The Right Angle" or "Most People," as YouTube video responses. The creator of the band's favorite cover wins a Fender guitar.

Dawes is currently [on tour](http://dawestheband.com/tour/?ref=hypebot.com) in support of their recent release "[Stories Don't End](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00B97SNJI/hypebot-20?ref=hypebot.com)." Both of the competition songs are from the new album.

**Dawes – Most People – How To Play**

One of the distinctive features of the competition is the use of [Soundslice](http://www.soundslice.com/?ref=hypebot.com) to sync tabs with video, as you can see on the [competition page](http://dawestheband.com/covers/?ref=hypebot.com).

According to the [FAQ](http://www.soundslice.com/faq/?ref=hypebot.com) the process is manual but there are plans to develop an automated feature to get things started as well as adding standard notation.

While Dawes integrated Soundslice into a competition, you can use it to share notation for your songs with fans and [post the video and notation combo publicly](http://www.soundslice.com/completed/?ref=hypebot.com) on Soundslice.
