The Cover challenge?

What's Hot

In a recent post by @Bezzer he mentioned that himself and a bandmate challenge each other to do individual cover versions of the same song and see what they arrive at. What a great idea for a forum. 

Why not pick a song and we can all do our take on it?

    I'm up for it. I assume you'll run this one.
    It's not a competition.

    That sounds like a fun challenge. Singing required and I'm out though

    @axisus singing doesn't have to be required. You could do an instrumental if you wanted 

    @stratman3142 I'd happily oversee it. Was thinking it could just be an open ended thread with our own soundcloud or YouTube links instead of a central email and a deadline. I wouldn't want it to clash with the composition challenge /SotM /ROTM /RRotM /mixing ones 

    @poopot we could vote. Or someone could just suggest a track, we do some covers and then someone else takes a turn

    I'm sure there would be fretboarders who could offer some singing for it

    That would involve the exporting and importing of stems.
    Be seeing you.

    How about “winner stays on”?...

    you suggest the first cover as it’s your idea... then whoever get voted the winner picks the next one! :)

    I was about to post the same thing @poopot ;

    I had a rethink overnight - let's just do it with the deadline and vote format and the winner picks the next one

    I'm definitely interested, although I have almost no idea how to do recording, have never enough free time and don't own any kind of mic, so may be a bit limited!

    @Roland @TTony ;

    Would you guys be okay for me to go ahead with organising and running of this?

    I think this could be a good addition to the Making Music section,  especially for those who want to record but don't have the confidence to yet write their own material for the Composition Challenges and also for others to get some craziness out of their systems
