Here's the 43rd 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 23rd May 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 23rd May 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 31st May 2018
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 not a competition.

    I'll upload to the playlist once we get one more entry. That way it's easier to auto create a playlist.

    Just listened to the playlist
     Loving it but am regretting I didn't go for an 80's hair metal riff to keep the theme going instead of groove metal.

    We need more metal this month. C'mon folks, get those (metal) riffs in!

    Hmmm, I suppose that means I need to put away my glockenspiel.

    Not really. You just need an extended range glockenspiel that goes down to drop Z...

    OK, Hair it is. Mine's in the playlist. Now I need to go and have a lie down. I'm too old for this.

    A welcome relief from all that hair metal. That makes the 5th entry on the playlist.
