Guitar Talk Theme challenge Vote

Stoffeltoo

Did not have time for comping, old entry reworked and nothing to do with marketing ?

V8 & Wern101

I was supposed to collaborate with Wern101, but we didn't manage to. But I really loved his voice over idea, so I went with it - hence the collaboration. Last minute recording, spent less than 2hours on it - it's quite simple, but I reckon it's got some real snap to the funk!

StudMissile's entry

No blurbs

Jazzman105 Entry

I went for an all-out 80's feel with this one and I'm still sticking to the same production recipe. The drums is the only programmed track and I play all other instruments... all tracked & mixed using Garageband on my Ipad.

Wern 101 Entry

Ran out of time. Due to an unexpected road trip I had to submit what I had done till now. Wanted to do so much more...

Stoffeltoo

So that is it, these are the five entries received. Happy listening and voting

V8

@Stoffeltoo - Thanks for the sorting out entries Stoffeltoo!

So it's one vote, which we'll show by liking the post with the track we're voting for?

We've got two classic from @Stoffeltoo & @studmissile, a full on song from @Jazzman105 and two commercial style ones from myself and @wern101 ...tricky decision!

And thanks to @NorioDS for the cool prize!

Stoffeltoo

@V8 Yes that is the idea, really hope this works

wern101

Listened to all of em just now. Really hung up with a vote, trying to figure out what to base my vote on. Some amazing stuff!

Just to clarify, are we 'liking' the track on Soundcloud (heart it) or on Guitar Talk under the post?? Not sure if that was clarfied?

Jazzman105

wern101 On the point of what to base votes on... Everyone is of course free to vote as they see fit, but I think that it is only fair that "spec-fidelity" (to what extent the entry is within spec) should enjoy a high degree of consideration and influence on how we vote.

Stoffeltoo

Please indicate your track preference by liking the track on GT

wern101

Stoffeltoo Thanks for clarifying!

Jazzman105 Agreed! Spec-Fidelity? Did you just make that up? ? ?

Stoffeltoo

Just to clarify. One vote only. Those who have more than 1 like. Please unlike and select your favourite track with a like

V8

Finally voted - not easy!

If I stuck my producer hat on : I dug stud's track and Wern's track. In a ideal world, I'd declare them both winners and mix Wern's voice-over with Stud's track - reckon that's a great representation of the fine peeps here at GuitarTalk ?

Jazzman105 but I think that it is only fair that "spec-fidelity" (to what extent the entry is within spec) should enjoy a high degree of consideration and influence on how we vote.

"Spec-fidelity" - he-he, like that! We do tend to bend the 'rules' around here a fair bit, sigh...head shaking...ya'know guitarists ?

Jazzman105

wern101 Yes. LOL

Stoffeltoo

1 more day to go for voting peeps.

wern101

Voting done. Phew.
Since I couldn't vote for myself (duh) or for Meron's track on which I was named a collaborator, I was left with three choices, which didn't make voting easier. ?

I'll comment on the individual tracks later.

V8 If @studmissile is keen I'm all for it! Will be sweet!

Jazzman105

wern101 I was seriously set on voting for my own entry. Am i misunderstanding the rules, is it considered in poor taste? ?

wern101

Jazzman105 meant no disrespect! I guess its always been a 'rule'? Not really published or anything.
Stoffeltoo, could you clarify?

V8

Jazzman105 It's been done before (I've done it once myself!), some might say it's in poor taste...but I think if you feel it's the track you like the most, then vote for it.

Jazzman105

wern101 No offense taken. ?
