Go for it @mrkb
There are no hard and fast rules. You do something radically different or even try to reproduce the original. Perhaps simply singing to a karaoke track would be a step to far.
Over the years we've had samples included - a house remix of Everlong with Dave Grohl's original vocal won the last challenge.
You can also use guest musicians and feel free to ask here if you need help. I had poopot guest as Flavour Flav when I did 9-5 as Public Enemy!. We just ask that if you guest on someone else's track that you don't vote for it.
It's more important that we have more entries. Just as long as there's honesty - don't claim to be playing faster than Michael Angelo Batio if it's cheating through editing but feel free to use as much MIDI as needed. Heck my keyboard skills are dire so everything I submit is usually recorded one hand at a time in the easiest key, transposed, quantised within an inch of its life and even still might be manually tidied up in the grid.
Just have fun whatever you do.
There's no extra points for getting yours in first

Might as well finish it off
I’m planning to mash up the White Stripes song with something else.
I usually just have my phone in one hand with the lyrics on it and a SM58 in the other!
@flying_pie I could have added it myself, but I thought it would be a good test to see if you receive it and to check the upload process.
Nothing in my inbox or spam, I'm afraid. I definitely gave Lee the right email address!
One way you can check is for you to send a test email to covers@thefretboard.co.uk
It should be redirected to your email. So, if things are working correctly, you should receive the test email on your personal email address. If not, I guess you need to PM Lee again or I could do it. But I don't want to bother him on a Sunday.
I won't upload my entry myself yet, as it's probably best that we use it as a 'pipe-cleaner' to check things are working OK.
Looks like he's not yet hooked me up
Do you want to resend it?
