2016/04/27 Edit : Added Wern101's entry!

Since there's no beginners this time around - we'll compete in one group. You've got a week and 3 votes, coz I'm feeling generous ;)

[b]Meron Rigas - Fuzzilla[/b] http://guitarforum.co.za/gfsacomps/mp3s/V8.mp3 [i]More of a bass groove than a riff, but I couldn't resist after finding a old Zoom B2. DI'ed the Zoom for the bass and sampled the drums from the B2 too.[/i]

[b]Wern101 - Messing with Mixolydian[/b] http://guitarforum.co.za/gfsacomps/mp3swern101.mp3 [i]Ok...so I had to rush this one. Very basic little riff using the Mixolydian Mode (which is what I am exploring at the moment) Acoustic as 2nd instrument just for a bit of rhythm.[/i]

    Hey!?! Where did my entry go??? ?
      Ooo, good point! The attachment was missing, I forgot to let you know last week (I'll blame the flu). Sent ya a email.
        Woah, great submission Studmissile! I really dig the classic rock vibe, man. What gear were you using, if I may ask?

          Thank you! Great entry yourself, that tone reminds me of spiderbaits black betty, what did you use?

            Hi all,

            Seems like the gremlins crept in...again...and I missed Wern101's entry. I've added his entry to the voting.

            Just a little plea from me, please make sure to put GFSA somewhere in your email title (GGSA doesn't count Wern ?), otherwise it'll get lost in the myriad of mailboxes that I use.

                Tnx Meron. I'll blame the typo on the phone's keyboard...
                Well done all! Great entries!!
                  Congratz Stud!

                  Your track stood out this month - a lovely spanky tone. Reminded me somewhat of the rolling stones, albeit slightly (and very tastefully) country flavoured riffage.

                  You now have the honour of proposing the next topic (and format) ?
                    Good Stuff - All great entries

                    Well done Stud
                      Well done Stud. I agree, that tone grabbed my attention immediately.

                      Nice entries all round everyone!

                                I'll vote for 2 & 4.

                                5 is a interesting one, no idea how I'd do that, maybe a slayer riff or three... :?

                                  I am also in favour of Nr 4 or 5. Nr 2 Sounds cool as well - it'll force me to explore some blues.

                                    Sooooo? What's the verdict? Did I miss something on the new compo? :-[
