Here's the 40th Riff of the Month (RotM) Challenge, being run by @stratman3142 and @TTony.

The challenge is now open, and remains open for submissions until 11:30pm on 22nd February 2018.

All you have to do is ...
Write a riff. You can include whatever else you want in the mix, but the main focus must be on the riff. Most entries will probably be guitar based riffs, but they don't have to be.
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 11:30pm on 22nd February 2018, 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 28th February 2018

The order and scores of the three people with the most votes will be announced soon after the voting ends. It's just for fun - no prizes.

It's not a competition.

  • Done mine. The only one so far. Feeling a bit lonely on RotM at the moment.

    Got one, it is 58 seconds and a variation on the riff, can I still enter it or do I need to clip it?

    Don't worry about it. I suppose it's within a tolerance of 20%. Nobody follows the rules anyway :).

    Excellent. I'll start work on a 3 hour long epic rule breaking prog riff..

    I'll stop listening after 50 seconds, so you'd better get the good bits in early.

    I think I might invent a new rule that one point will be deducted for every second it's over - just joking.

    Sounds perfectly fair to me!

    Joking aside just delete the version I sent and I'll send a shorter version. It doesn't need a big intro
