Time to vote in this weeks chat challenge. The chat challenge was... [quote author=dylan link=action=profile;u=332 date=1226857781] For this week, i think i would like the keyword to be COUNTRY... with all the metal heads and blues guys on the forum, i wonder what we could come up with in the country genre. Anything from slow country ballad to fast picking 'slapping your knee' type of songs. What ever captures the essence of country music best :) [/quote] Other than a few suicide threats there was not a huge a small response so I am going to double kama all that ventured an entry. Looks like all the Shredders and Metalheads went running to their mommy's Here are the real guitarists.

[quote author=Renesongs link=action=profile;u=36 date=1227223156] Ouch this one was hard. I have secretly admired country guitarist but never attempted to imitate one. IMvhO it is way waaaay more difficult than I ever imagined :( :( :(

FatBoy

Thanks man!

LMinnie

YEE HAA!!!

jakjak

All very impressive.

But ill give it to the corn brothers for obvious reasons. Good vocal. ?

CornFlakes

Just call us the “one take wonders” 8) I must admit here and there I messed up the bass part but hey it still sounds country.
And that is the last time I want to hear that song… ?

Squonk

All very good

The flakes should get a prize just for collaboration, harmonica, vocals everything was lekker, good advert for GFSA
Seph - good acoustic sounds, I dig your style
Rene - You have got country bones in your body. Sounds a bit like Steve Howe doing country. My choice for this week

Daria

the trio got my vote! goodluck

CornFlakes

No Not at all, I think it's brilliant that the guys from GFSA are getting together, you guys are starting something lekker in CTN. This will hopefully stir us up in JHB, etc. That's what I meant by a prize for collaboration. I take my hat off to you guys.

NorioDS

Very nicely done guys! I'm especially excited about the collaboration! That's really taking this competition to the next level.

I think they were all really good entries and it's gonna be tough voting for me!

NorioDS

PS: Love the Country Roads. I grew up listening to a lot of that stuff so kudos on song choice ?

jakjak

When the idea of making a gfsa cd was first proposed my first reservation was i hadnt heard the members of this forum do anything which was album quality. I thought, unless its good, it will hurt the forum.

But with these chat comp's im beginning to realise we have more than enough talent to do an awesome cd.

Keep up the good work.

Renesongs

Ouch - Forgot to put up Spyke's entry - what an epic fail on my part ☹
Well the only way I can make it up to you is by giving you my vote ?

Garth-S

Great stuff everyone... ? Kudos all around!

EvertFC

The Trio! Others were great though.

sepheritoh

Wow

We have a bunch of real country boyz around here!!

The trio really does a great country band. Loved that harmonica too.

Rene's solo guitar nailed that country tone very well and Spyke did a great job as well wit that slide guitar.

Now, if we can get all of you guys into the same band we can make really good money on the Nashville scene!

Riaan

Yes, some really talented good ol' boys here! Well done all of you!

dyllels

Wow.. haha everyone did this so well. ?
My attempts to stump everyone with this weeks topic kinda backfired, seeing as everyone had amazing entries and i couldn't come up with one myself ?

Spyke

Well done guys - some very impressive work on all parts.
