Welcome to the 13th Fretboard Cover Challenge
The rules are simple - there are no rules*
We all start with the same song suggestion and record our own cover version. It's up to your imagination as to what you do with it. It could be faithful to the original or as out there as you wish.
The idea is to share creativity and see how we end up with differing results from the exact same start point. Feel free to change key if needed for vocals. Feel free to go instrumental/spoken word/rap if singing isn't your thing. Feel free to share ideas in this thread or keep your hand close to your chest. Just have fun with it.
Slight change to this comp... to encourage more entries there are two songs to choose from...
The first track to be choose from has been chosen by the winner of the last challenge
@AlbertC and is:"Love Is The Drug" by Roxy Music
The second track to choose from is:
”ANY song originally by Roxy Music”
We’ve changed it up this time to hopefully get more of you involved in the comp... there is however a twist!
if you choose to cover “love is the drug” you automatically get a
bonus 5 points!!!!!!

RULES:Entries to be sent in mp3 format to the following Email address:
covers@thefretboard.co.uk
You may wish to submit artwork to go with your entry. It brightens up the playlist and might subliminally get you more votes but it's not mandatory.
Entries close at 11.30pm on friday 30th April...
A playlist of all the entries will be posted in the
Voting Thread. Vote for your top 3 with 5 points awarded for first place, 3 points for second place and 1 point for third place. Entrants obviously aren't allowed to vote for their own entry.
Unlike other challenges in the Cover Challenge the winner wins a prize - they get to choose the track to be covered for the next challenge. Please have ideas ready in advance as you will only have approximately 48hrs to PM your suggestion or The Management will decide for you.
Good luck

Three songs in a row I don’t like. This will make it tough ... may be the third one I have to pass on.
Hope you ... um ... enjoy ... what I've sent. I've called it Druggah.

Following valid comments from @Bezzer on my previous entry, I'm trying to avoid it sounding like I'm just playing over a midi backing track, which is proving a bit of a problem because that's basically what it is

A revamp may be needed!!!!!
