The Gear Junkie's September Mini Challenge - VOTE

FruitarGeek · 2015-09-28T09:29:48+00:00

Thanks again to [url=http://www.thegearjunkie.co.za/]The Gear Junkie[/url] for sponsoring this competition. :applause: Look at all these entries. Even I came out the woodwork. There are two categories. If a person didn't specify which category they were in, I'd give them benefit of doubt, and put in category 1. Also, I'm trying something new - if you submit a song without a name, then I reserve the right to call it whatever I want :P Graeme and Squonk, you were the unlucky victims this time. [b]2 Votes, one per category.[/b] [b]CATEGORY 1[/b] [b]Stoffeltoo - Something Spanish in Am[/b] http://guitarforum.co.za/gfsacomps/mp3s/stoffeltoo.mp3 [i]Laptop, Lexicon Lambda, C1 and C2 mikes in stereo channels Guitar: Taylor 214ce Post recording mixing done. This piece is an expansion on another idea previously posted [/i] [b]Lu22 - Ampolla en el dedo-medio[/b] http://guitarforum.co.za/gfsacomps/mp3s/lu22.mp3 [i]After 3 hours of failed recordings I settled on this. At this point I don't even know if it sounds Spanishy, but hoping for the best. [/i] [b]Hasie - Asturias[/b] http://guitarforum.co.za/gfsacomps/mp3s/hasie.mp3 [i]It’s not original. I did a simplified version of Asturias. [/i] [b]Graeme Messina - Spanish lady of the night [/b] http://guitarforum.co.za/gfsacomps/mp3s/graeme_m.mp3 [i] Played on my nylon string beater and due to the whole "no outputs" thing I used my headphone mic to record.[/i] [b]CATEGORY 2[/b] [b]Squonk - Wine with Juanita[/b] http://guitarforum.co.za/gfsacomps/mp3s/squonk.mp3 [i] Takamine Nylon -> Behringer UCA202->Audacity 2 tracks - I kind of explored the harmonic minor scale! A bit shoddy due to time constraints and I need to get a better DAW. REAPER next time![/i] [b]Adrian Rogowski - Come back Pedro[/b] http://guitarforum.co.za/gfsacomps/mp3s/adrianrog.mp3 [i] one two cha cha cha Fender > Presonus Tubepreamp > M-Audio interface > Ableton Mixing, one of the simplest tunes I did, did panning, no EQ, and very light compression on the lead guitar - mostly played with volumes[/i] [b]V8 - Percha Dieciocho[/b] http://guitarforum.co.za/gfsacomps/mp3s/V8.mp3 [i] Left hand inspired by Megadeth, right hand by Rodrigo y Gabriela. Been wanting to try this "homage" out for a while, hope you enjoy it![/i] [b]studmissile - Just between Lovers[/b] http://guitarforum.co.za/gfsacomps/mp3s/studmissile.mp3 [i]This started with such good intentions……….[/i] (old forum) Poll Results: Please vote Stoffeltoo: 9 Lu22: 1 Hasie: 4 Graeme Messina: 1 Squonk: 5 Adrian Rogowski: 3 V8: 0 Studmissile: 8

V8 wrote Well done Stud & Stoffel! Worthy winners both :goodtimes:

Since there are three prizes, I'm thinking of nominating Hasie as the recipient of the third place (or "winner" of the beginners), technically it's Squonk on votes (and deservedly so, I loved his entry)...but I thought Stoffel's entry was of -at least- a intermediate level and I'd think we'd all like to encourage more beginners to enter?

Just a thought and completely open to debate (and ridicule as the person who got...no votes ?)
Agree and would gladly forfeit the prize if it is decided that I had an unfair advantage.

Ummm, you definitely earnt & deserve the prize Stoffel (I voted for ya!), not only the CAT1 winner, but the overall one too. Wasn't at all unfair IMO.

I would have liked three votes instead of two, but that's another debate :?

Adrian Rogowski wrote V8, you also usually have great ideas.

Errr, not this month I'm afraid! Very doubtful I will be able to enter either, looks like I'll be in jozi for a bit ???.

Halloween is a fine idea - there's something in there for everyone - I like it!

Hasie

If The Gear Junkie still had that Laney Cub 12R for 2.5k, I would have gladly taken a "third-place" prize and spent it with them. ?

I was eyeing that for two weeks... I should have just bought it. >☹

Should-a, could-a, would-a...Was a decent example too! The smaller valve amps usually go quickly - although there was a Laney 12R + cab (R2.8k) that hung around for months - that cab was particularly sweet sounding. Was a sad day when it went :'(

Well, they always have cool stuff coming in, and Graham wouldn't mind if you hung on - till something came in that tickled your fancy ?

We still have 3 prizes, regardless of their being 2 categories.

So prize winners are Studmissile, Stoffeltoo and Hasie. Can you three send me the following:

Name, Cell No, and closest Postnet, and what you want to value of R100 (could include many plectrums, strings, capo, or R100 off a bigger item)

Thanks Adrian. What to buy...? Wifey joked and said I can buy another amp... Something with different tubes in the power section than what I have in the current amp.

I've e-mailed them and asked about some products. Will let you know as soon as I know what I want.
