Raw Riff of the Month (RRotM) #40 - Chat

stratman3142

Here's the 40th RAW Riff of the Month (RRotM) Challenge.

The challenge is now open, and remains open for submissions until 11:30pm on 23rd September 24th October 2018.

RAW Riff of the Month (RRotm) is different to the other (RotM) riff challenge because you are only allowed to submit a recording with one layer of guitar, but you can use standard guitar effects such as wah, distortion, delay, modulation etc. This is all about one amazing riff and nothing else. 

All you have to do is ...

Write a riff.

Record it with one layer of guitar (standard guitar effects are also permitted)

Aim to keep it to a maximum of 50 seconds. This is about riffs, not songs.

Send your entry (as an mp3) to riffs@theFB.co.uk

Include your forum name in the email.

Voting will start soon after the submission deadline of 24th October, with each voter selecting their 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice.

First choice gets 5 points - Second choice gets 3 points - Third choice gets 1 point

Voting will end on 11.30pm 31st October

The order and scores of the top three entries will be announced soon after the voting ends. If there are 8 or more entries, then the order and scores of those in the top half will be announced.

No prizes. It's just for fun.

As people submit their entries, I'll post them below to hopefully promote some discussion on approaches used.

It's a bit quiet on this challenge. I've completed mine but I'll wait for another entry before I start a playlist.

Two entries in the playlist in the original post.

Only a few days remaining until the deadline of 11:30pm on 23rd September.

Still only two entries. It would be good to have  at least one more, otherwise I'll carry this one over to next month.

stratman3142

Entry was planned to close at 11.30pm tonight. 

At least one more entry is needed, otherwise I think it's best to keep things running into next month.

stratman3142

I'll carry this one over to next month, so we get at least three entries.

stratman3142

I've updated the original post to extend the deadline into next month, so hopefully there'll be more entries.

A reminder that RRotM40 is carried over and the new deadline is 11:30pm on 24th October 2018.

A weekend reminder that it would be good to get at least one more entry for RRotM40.

I volunteer to make up the numbers.  


(What a lovely tone I hear you say, well this tone can be yours as it was played on the guitar currently for sale in the LH Guitar classifieds.)
