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]Stoffeltoo - Ashes in Water[/b] http://guitarforum.co.za/gfsacomps/mp3s/Stoffeltoo.mp3 [i]Guitar - Tokai LS92 Two tracks External effects, Swell and delay DAW - Audacity[/i]

[b]G-Man - St0nerRiffage2016[/b] http://guitarforum.co.za/gfsacomps/mp3s/Gman.mp3 [i]Had 10 minutes to spare, an internet connection and nothing better to do.[/i]

[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]

Woah, great submission Studmissile! I really dig the classic rock vibe, man. What gear were you using, if I may ask?

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) ?

Squonk

Good Stuff - All great entries

Well done Stud

wern101

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? :-[
