Shhhheeeeeeettttt, newsletter reminded me the deadline is this weekend. And I'm still working on the pointy/paddle challenge. My entry is gonna be rough as anything!

Says me too. Oi...

No pressure... I've gotta record this AND my pointy vs paddle entry by Sunday evening ?

For this one I'm doing Postman Pat. Gonna try do it on bass with a bit of dirt and maybe some wah. If I can swing it, I'll go for a heavy metal style. But, first, gotta work out the fingering.

This is all I've got to go on for this tjoon:

Good luck, everyone! ? Enter whatever you manage. Don't worry about perfection. I'm pulling this one out of my ? in the next day or 2. You can too ?

OK! My "Creepy Postman Pat" entry is in ?

This was looots of fun. The 1-track limitation is tricky. Even the slightest rhythm track behind the instrument would've made it sound less empty, to my ears.

Recorded on my trust ol' Boss BR-600. Used my Satchurator for dirt coz none of the dirt on the BR-600 gave me what I was after. Tried my Morely wah but I wasn't feeling it. Maybe with more practice I can have more fun with that.

I down-tuned the E-string to get the low D at the end of the riff. Then tuned it back up to E (yes, on the fly) to get the second riff in. I love how creepy it sounds ? And it let me keep the riff in the VERY LOOOOW registers where it's a bit creepier ?

Anyway, looking forward to hearing YOUR entries! Bring it ?

my first upload here...

so maybe this gets disqualified, as technically its 2 tracks (one drum track and one guitar track) but as I recorded this off a looper pedal I will stand in front of a judge and argue its recorded as one track!

Ok Mine's done! My version of Pinky and the Brain ?

Agree with @NorioDS that the one track limit does make things sounds a bit empty...
Recorded on Behringer XV-AMP with a bit of delay and reverb.
That is all

Played on Strat Copy, directly into Ardour5 for recording..

Sorry for the video - the video audio is better than using the phone's voice recorder/n-track. Plus...you get to see me cheating ?

The verse is drum loop only, chorus part is 3 layers I setup before recording (faster drum loop, one layer chords, one layer harmony). Using overdub, stacked up four harmonies and ran outta ideas.
