Had to sneak this recording in from the guest bedroom while the rest of the house was asleep. A couple of misses, but my camera battery died before I could do another take. The backing track and the arrangement from Yousician.

Just listened to all the other entries ---- I think if I heard them first I would've been too skaam to submit ---- that was some smoooth stuff my dudes. Wow. Well done.

wern101 . Dis nie sleg nie, klink soos n song uit die hart. Dit laat my dink aan n ou band member se jongste broer wat ook hou van om iets original uit die hart te skryf en compose.

Hey guys, I didn’t enter, I was too late.
I like most of the entries and it made me feel like I did more then I need to with my track.
I’ve learned a lot and I thank You all.
If you really would like to hear what I’ve composed, I will upload a piece of my track on SOUNDCLOUD.

Great work all!!! I'll have the voting thread up shortly ?

I fell asleep during the Brazilian GP with guitar next to me - was supposed to be a power nap.,..powered straight into monday unfortunately ?

This has to be the best excuse I have ever heard... ?

V8 he's up against two guys who make $ playing guitar

@studmissile could easily do the same! ☝

Well done everyone! I am overly jealous of the recording quality on your tracks. Seems I have a 'hit and miss' with mine. Sigh. Soo much to learn...

V8

Alllll righty!

Voting threads are up - split into two groups. Alas, I had to split into two threads - polls don't allow two votes/person...

Group 1 for the heavyweights (Jazzman105, EltonGoslett & Studmissile) - check it out here

Group 2 for us mere mortals ? (Yeti, Wern101, Klaasvakie) - check it out here

Well done & thank you everyone for entering - high five's all round!

this is a tough one... sooooooooo many good entries.. well done guys.. wish i could vote for you all..

Yeti

Thanks V8. I'll give them all another listen this evening and place my vote.
Glad us mortals are being given a fighting change. ?

Yeti Glad us mortals are being given a fighting change

Heh, happy to have enough entries to make two groups - going up against pro's like Elton & Jazzman can get demoralizing ?

Feel for @studmissile though - he's up against two guys who make $ playing guitar...hence the mortals comment - I've loads of time for guys who can make a living playing, real dedication ?

Jazzman105

V8 Thanks for the flattery V8, but I'm hardly a pro guys. Yes, I earn a few Rands playing a gig here and there - but I'm certainly not in the leagues of paying the bills with music only. I do a lot of things to keep the pot cooking. I can admit to being totally dedicated to being a better guitar player, week after week which translates into daily practice.

Hehehehe, thanks! Was the truth, usually GP is during the day - but this one was a evening affair - KO'ed me completely (as F1 usually does)

I've made a similar comment back in the day - Stud just keeps on developing - great inspiration for us all.

P.s. Note I didn't say $$$ - the vast majority musicians typically don't get a lot of monetary love locally...sad but true!

studmissile

Impressive turn out with fantastic entries, looking forward to a critical listen.
