For everyone trying to write something for this, i found this site:
which seems to be quite useful. If you are light on theory (like me), I find the chord suggestions really useful, and the rhyming/synonyms tab is good as well. Doesn't seem to be a way to tab out lead runs, but maybe they'll add it in future.
Some more inspiration from Mary Spender:
Just to check... Are covers allowed?
Jazzman105 I am sure they are.
I must admit I have had ZERO time to even think about this compo. Next week Thursday is last day at work and really hoping I can make some time before the 24th.

Umm, I guess so? We did last time, so why not.
May inspiration appear for you guys. I do not like listening to the radio this time of year, I hate all the jingle-belly-under-the-reindeer-tree songs.

+1. were it snowing I might feel differently...Probably not though!
I kinda had a idea yesterday - a mashup of covers I didn't get around to entering for a challenge a lonnnnggg time ago. Might just dust of and re-do - it's a fun thing to play.
Turns out sleigh bells are remarkably tiring... who knew?
Anyone up for a extension?
I'd be turning in a archived entry otherwise ?
I was fantastically optimistic, but this is the one time I know that i won't be able to pull a rabbit out of my head at the eleventh hour. So I'm out gents. Please accept my apologies... ?
Okay Cool - have updated deadline to 30th - not sure if we'll get any entries, but if Santa drops guitar gear in your stocking, it's a good excuse to try it out... let's see...stranger things have happened!
If inspiration strikes, hit (the) record (button)! ?
I'm trying to finish a complete song of previous abbreviated Christmas idea I entered, but I can't seem to get the damn thing right.
A belated Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year!
A belated Merry Christmas from me too. ?
Got it together just in time. My initial attempt ended up a lot more serious than I had intended (might still finish it sometime... but not now) so I put together something fun to sing with my family - sons 4 & 6 plus (very patient) wife.
A couple of lessons...
1) Sleigh bells are hard
2) Working with children is harder ?
Yeti That sounded like a lot of work! LOVE IT!
Happpy Festive Season y'all! ? ? ?
Thought I might win this one by default...it was my only hope ? Well done on getting entries in guys, ?
Not quite as last minute as usual,...about 3hrs on this one. Ableton was messing around and the bassline disappeared - couldn't fix it in time - grrr.
Two Five One progression - 1xEm, 1xAMaj , 2xDm
studmissile cheers man, I enjoyed yours too, it’s got a really cool drive to it.
Amusingly enough, the sleigh bells took the longest, keeping that rhythm consistent was quite a challenge.
Although finding the groove in the bass took some time too.
I enjoyed yours too @V8. Can’t believe that was a 3 hour effort.
