So you used to be nice but now you're handsome? Great grungy riff btw and Stickster I loved yours, especially Space - reminded me a little of Skeletal Family and the lovely stan greenwood.

@Viz, my secret is out, and thanks for the feedback. 

Like @Basher requested at the end of the last task, I think we really should get away from the Blue Peter style of responding to these tasks, and get more into the spirit of them. To this end I shall record a new one, I have just written for this task, over the next few days.

Well mine is obviously even worse than I though it was ..... so I'm going to delete it and have another go at the weekend.

This lump of riffage was for a game that my mate was writing. He never finished the game and I never finished the song. 

It's from a time when D&B was the future

I liked your 3rd one very much but forgot to say so because I was so annoyed about nobody saying nice things about mine

viz

Monq that's great, you should finish it. With more widdles!

No worries viz and thanks for the kind words.  They were all pretty bad.  Usually when I record stuff I cringe when I first hear but after a day or so I think it's not too bad.  I still continued to cringe at these..........

I do think they should be restricted to the task though and not previously made recordings but hey ho nobody put me in charge

Sorry I haven't replied or listened to others- been REALLY busy in the workshop.

I will soon though.

That would be about 20 years ago, Grandad.

I does agree with this, although I fell foul of it this time round.

As some (well none really) recompence I just had a little go at something else. Gave me an excuse to wheel out the guilty pleasure Charvel, please don't judge me.

Here is my Blue Peter "here's one I did earlier" one.

I will try to record a fresh one before the end of the month.

@dindude, love the octaves (sounded the same way as Vai does them), and the solo! and the riff! Would love to hear that with a bass following the same line. and @guitarfishbay, that was also wicked - very funky and aggressive, reminded me a tad of RHCP wow what a lot of talent we have here!

Some excellent stuff but dindude is the riffmeister  up to now imo. Hope this thread runs and runs its a breath of fresh air on the forum and if i wasnt such a neanderthal i would have taken part so appologies for that and well done all.

Last-ditch attempt from me to spark some love for the Persian scale


This is the 4th mode, which I think sounds pretty interesting, though the first mode (which would be the same notes as in the twiddle at the end, though thinking of E as the root) is also nice. Also the 2nd mode, with F as root, is an amazing adaptation of the blues scale, extraordinarily enough.

viz

Is anyone else going to have a go at some rifflitudinal activitah?

daveww

@viz some great playing there. Very impressive!

@dindude as said by others definitely the riffmeister here.  Great stuff!  If it was a full track I might even buy it!

To all the rest of you some good stuff all round and looking forward to hearing your next proper posts for the task.  Your a talented lot and much better at this than me that's for sure.

I'm finding it hard to get anything good and ordinal but here's my updated attempt.  If I can come up with anything any good over the weekend I'll post another......

Fanks Mr Viz

One day when my widdling powers are strong I shall return to it

viz

Awesome! And fanx @daveww oooh yours is nice - that tone on your lead is gorgeous, soft yet crunchy.

dindude

Thanks for the kind comments peeps. I haven't got around to listening to anything past the first half of page one, will take a listen tonight.

daveww

@viz you is way too kind

Some good stuff here. I particularly liked the stuff by @dindude and @octatonic
