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

    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?

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

      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.

        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 ?

          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!

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

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

                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.

                    Voting is a choice. If you believe your track outshines the competition. Why not. Unfortunately this vote is not anonamous and if your choice is for your own song, do it.

                    I believe that it should measure up to your criteria such as suitability and intent of the compo which disqualifies my entry immediately. My choice has been made between the remainder.

                    Happy voting...

                    Thanks for the replies guys. I shall vote with my conscience then ?

                    Damn it, I thought the challenge was hard, but the voting is even worse! Thanks for the votes V8 and offer Wern101, but the truth is: I was (still am) disappointed with my entry, My slide work is far from polished and feel the snazzy new Guitar Talk website design really deserves better...

                    As for the other entries, great guitar work all around but just not quite as upbeat as I was expecting/hoping? Secondly I can respect Jazzman105s comments regarding Spec-Fidelity, but personally also felt the 4 mins was a little too long for this challenge. So in the end I'm going to go Wern101 as I could see that working as a promotional theme. But really it was a tough choice.

                    P.S Apologies for late reply the summer rains are wrecking havoc with my wifi/dsl. and I wanted to give the tracks another listen through some decent speakers with rested ears.

                    I was disappointed with the number of entries but not the quality.
                    I have heard each one of the participants grow through their entries which is testament to the dedication as a guitarist/song writer.
                    I hope to promote another challenge soon with something more generic and worth exploring for the forumites.

                    Well it is official then.
                    Congratulations Wern101!
                    A great promotional indeed and well presented.
