Here's the 45th Riff of the Month (RotM) Challenge.

The challenge is now open, and remains open for submissions until 11:30pm on 24th July 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 24th July 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 July 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.

    I'm starting the challenges early this time because I'm not sure what my internet connection is going to be like over the next two weeks.

    Last weekend before entry closes at 11:30pm on 24th July 2018. If there are less than three entries I'll carry things over for another month, if that's OK with @flying_pie.
