The GFSA 'Something with Delay' Challenge Re-visited Heeeerrreeee we go go go go go...Great to see a bunch of entries, thanks guys! Reckon everyone had a lot of fun this time around? 6ix entries, 2wo pools to vote in and 4our days to vote. Voting ends on 26th May 8) [b]Pool 1[/b] [b]Peterleroux - Something else with delay[/b]http://guitarforum.co.za/gfsacomps/peterleroux.mp3 [i] Ok, a little sketch recorded on my iPad with Music Memos and Garage Band using an iTrack Pocket and my Squiers- a CV Jazz and a Cabronita. Bass was recorded using a home made Rebote delay at maximum delay- One pulse on the '1' with 3 repeats. Drums were generated automatically by Music Memos to match this tempo, then tweaked in Garage Band. I went into Garage Band to record the two guitar tracks- the arpeggios with the Garage Band delay slaved to the master tempo through a Voxy rig, and the volume swells using the Rebote pedal set close to infinite repeats in an orange coloured amp.

My first try at delay song so kept it KISS. I was looking for something sad but with beat, hence the name. The lead guitar was the most challenging. [/i] [b]Pool 2[/b] [b]Bruceikins - Indigo Bay[/b]http://guitarforum.co.za/gfsacomps/mp3s/bruciekins.mp3[i] [i]What better way to demonstrate the glory of delay than a tip of the hat to the the first guitarist to popularize the effect- Hank B. Marvin, lead guitarist (as they used to be called) of The Shadows. My entry is a Shadows influenced tune I wrote many years ago, and named after the band I was in called The Indigos. About a year later my band The Zombies (South African) recorded it, and on listening to it recently I thought it deserved re-recording. For the technically minded, I used my '94 Strat with Kinman Traditional II pups and Callaham bridge block into my Ethos pedal, with Strymon's El Capistan and Xotics EP Boost direct into my mixer on Sonar X1. The backing was a mix and match selection from Band-In-A-Box 2017.

I'm hacking away unplugged on my nylon stringer trying some kinda mix of strumming and percussion. Since my interface is away on band duties, we got creative with the engineering for the live, one take recording. Track 1: Used my laptop mic to capture the natural reverb of the room and my guitar. Track 2 : Wizard used his phone to capture the n'goni through the amp. Mixed them together in Reaper. Panned the tracks, Track1 65% left and Track2 50% right. A bit of compression to glue things together and a hint of delay on track1 when the guitar drops out. No click, just used the delay on the n'goni to try and stay in some kinda time. We were not attempting a poly-rhythmical thing, that's just me making boo-boo's.

Very clever guys! Necessity is the mother of invention and you guys pulled a cool tune out there.

Warrenpridgeon - Stupid Hero (leaving commenting on myself for last)
Needed some EQ work and to get a couple of the parts flowing a bit better... it feels like you rushed to complete this just before the deadline ?
The vocals need some work and they hid the guitar a bit. They need 1. practice and 2. possible EQ and some reverb.

I enjoyed this challenge and am looking forward to the next one! I entered two months in a row... it's a record for me!!!
Voting was tough in this challenge as the entries were all really good quality.

Yeah Wizard likes it too, been working on the composition a little - I might even like it with some more panel beating ?

Well done fellow, keep em coming - hope you see the growth and benefits from challenging yourself. This challenge was cool to focus on one effect, I definitely learnt something new (outside of what we recorded).

Congratz on 'winning', now we get to choose the next topic and I'm wide open to suggestions - perhaps something in the mini challenge format?

Congratz to you too! I definitely see growth in myself as a musician...

I'm keen on any sort of challenge... Maybe something to really challenge the creativity... like using ONLY guitar as an instrument to do even "drums" by tapping on it or using an acoustic?
What kind of mini challenge did you have in mind?

Last year we did a 'anything goes' (no limits what-so -ever), which I'd like to do again this year (July/August), so I was thinking of a mini challenge before then. Or we could just do it now.

Don't have any idea's for the mini challenge, I kinda picked the last one (delay) - so shall we open it to the floor?

Dear GFSA'er - What challenge would you like to see next?

Mini band mini challenge... One instrument and it's gotta do everything... and no... a macbook is not an instrument... *cough cough* lol

Like the sound of that Warren-fair to say that it has to be a guitar-like instrument ( bass, guitar, uke, guitarron,mandolin,banjo etc) for this forum, I think

Sounds good, so something like this :

GFSA 'Keep it simple' mini challenge.

Use any one guitar-like instrument (guitar, bass, uke, mandolin, banjo, etc...) to create/compose your entry.

Get creative with it - bang out some percussion on your acoustic, slap out a line on your bass and whistle the melody or surprise us with some mad Andy Mckee playing.

Two instrument tracks and a bonus vocal track (optional). The challenging part is to try and do everything one one instrument.
Tracks to be less than one minute

Two weeks for this?

peterleroux

Two tracks? Bit of a challenge for what I had in mind, but I think I can make it work...

Turns out one track is enough...

Meron, I have a floating trophy to donate to the competitions for motivation.
A simple pillar and music note in gilded plastic with a nice wood base.
I hope that it would serve as an inspiration and provide bragging rights to the competition winners with an Avatar of the trophy with the entrants name and the month and year in which the competition was won. Once the next competition is won, the avatar is withdrawn and handed to the new winner

Just an idea for a tangible recognition of players skills.

Comments welcome

Will do my best to post a decent pic tonight.

That's a cool idea - thanks Stoffeltoo - digging it. What y'all think?

I should also really get the Challenge Hall of Fame updated sometime... :?

OK, one more to make me feel like I'm not practicing enough: two handed tapping, double stops, slapping, rasguedo - four strings and one track is enough. good stuff starts at 0:45

peterleroux wrote four strings and one track is enough.

Yes! I reckon this guy is just killing it with a percussive style. Gonna have to pull apart his technique a little, I realllllly like that he's got kick and strong slap beat in one motion. Gonna have to work on that ?

How about NO strings! HAHAHA
Not sure this fits in with the "theme" properly because it's more like sampling and then mixing samples... but it's very creative!
