The Guitar Talk - Gimme Chords Challenge!!!

V8 · 2019-07-17T16:04:15+00:00

Two options this month, the fun one and the rather silly one. 1. Gimme Chords! Here's three chords, G D/F# A - use 'em as you like. However you like, whatever progression, add more chords, go crazy. But you have to at least use those three chords somewhere, somehow. Just because someone will ask, I think it's fine if you want to rather use/swop G Major, D major, A minor instead of those pictured. Though, those three pictured voicings have a distinct flavour together ? Max 2 minutes length. Bonus point for guessing the band that inspired me to choose these three chords. Second bonus point for guessing the song! 2. Gimme Pain! Because @domhatch asked for something 'HECTIC', I dug this out of the "guitar lessons that are still kicking my ass" folder. It's a 12 bar blues progression in Cminor, but with more than a few -ahem- flavourful chords. Did I mention, there's 26 chord changes and only five shapes are used twice in 12 bars... The purple highlights are my attempts at finding the root on each chord. the full size scan is here on box Good luck! ? Entries Close: Sunday, 18th August, 23:59PM (originally 11th) ?Rules: Only one rule, no more than two (2) minutes in length using the provided chords (or more). The rest is open to your interpretation ⁉How To Enter: Record your entry, sign up or log in to SoundCloud, post it there. Then grab the SoundCloud link and reply here with the link pasted in your reply. ?Prizes: The fame and glory of winning a GuitarTalk Challenge. And the ever increasingly dubious distinction of selecting the next challenge topic. Anyone can enter this competition. You just need a guitar and a phone. But any other recording equipment is fine too.

RodneyVikens I am always scared to sing as that is not my main focus.

Haha, that's how I feel about guitar. ?

RodneyVikens

Yeti So where is your track? =)

Yeti

RodneyVikens
I had to sit this one out unfortunately. Just a little too much going on... hope to get back in on the next one.

RodneyVikens

Yeti please send me a link to your soundcloud or previous tracks recorded (if you don't mind)

Of course. Everything in the last year has been for forum challenges. Feedback extremely welcome. ?

Yeti oh wow! You CAN sing! Your stuff sound great man!

Yeti

RodneyVikens Cheers mate, that's good of you to say. Singing is very much my first instrument but trying to improve my guitar and overall musicianship. Really dig your entry here too by the way, sounds fantastic.

haha, if you don't try, you'll never improve.

Had some fun with it.

I actually want to get some proper vox training, but I just don't have the time..

RodneyVikens

RCVN I guess that we can all agree on. There is just not enough time... Sadly.
