@brianlarsen Yeah I don’t understand 100% how the hashtag work either. On the PC, I get the same result as you, but on my phone there is a tab where I can select Reels in the search result page which give the same result as @Mari63 . Thought, I only see the most popular submissions which have hundred or thousand of views :open_mouth: I guess some people have huge following on instagram.

… first time I have logged into Instagram in about 4yrs, so I am not much help.

Well played Phil, and good luck winning the PRS … :pray:

Bingo! This does the trick :smiley:
Mind you, the Reels option is not visible on the page that opens. You have to slide/scroll it across to become visible (well on my phone at least).
Just had a quick flick through some of the entries- huge variation from novice to pro level.
And obviously some with large followings too.
At least I learnt a new skill in the process (although I can’t say useful yet! :rofl:)

It’s been 1 year since I started my long-term project of learning all the songs in the JustinGuitar Rock Songbook ! :guitar: :guitar: It’s a project that will take a few years, but I’m happy with the progress that I did in one year.

To celebrate the anniversary, I wanted to make something creative to show my progress.

So here is a short 2 minutes medley with “the best moments” of each of the 11 songs that I learned so far. I hope you will recognize some of the songs and enjoy it :slight_smile:

How bizarre, I agree. I am definitely not an expert in social media apps, so not really surprised this seemed easy and yet doesn’t work!

No idea if mine is visible, I added latest recording I did cut short to 1min, but when I search the tag it doesnt show on the list. How odd…

It is Ade- and if you were a dedicated ‘grammer’ you would have seen that received a like and comment from me :laughing:
Mathieu figured it out above. You have to use your phone (not pc), search for the # you’re looking for and then slide the menu bar on the top to select ‘reels’.
Unless you know the name of the account you’re looking for, you’ll just have to scroll through them till you get to yours.
Added ‘shiny’ lights to the vid?
Really? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Great entry!

That’s just really weird to me that you can’t seem to search the reels on the computer. If I remember right, though, Instagram has usually been a mobile first type platform with not a lot of functionality in the web interface.

Something would eventually drag me back out of the shadows, and here it is! Iain Cunningham on Instagram: "Some fun with Pitbull and Ke$ha on my @dowina.guitars #acoustic #guitar for the #JustinGuitarSongChallenge :-) With big thanks to @pmjofficial for the inspiration!"

With huge thanks to Postmodern Jukebox for their cover, that in turn give me the inspiration to try a cover: https://youtu.be/6hCF4nsjBnM

(The original, in case anyone is interested in what it sounds like when I’m not involved: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHUbLv4ThOo)

Hi all! I couldn’t resist the chance to win a new guitar.

I wrote some “cheesy” original lyrics and put them over this “cheesy” Nickleback tune. :rofl:

Here’s my go with a somewhat dubious title:

“Justinguitar”

I had fun

I don’t think so.
I’m still not that hot on navigating IG, but I did learn something new by joining in :smiley:

There is a slight communication problem, though…
In the competition blurb it says that 8 entries will be chosen as finalists, and
“Our community will watch, engage, and vote!”
Most of us here think we are the community :laughing:
I guess the folks on IG or FB might have the same opinion? :rofl:
Good luck to the finalists and I hope the PRS goes to a worthy contestant
