I like the afrikaans songs coming in, makes me also want to try and write an afrikaans song next time. Only started to listen to some afrikaans songs (mostly old songs) recently.

If you are interested, I also did an acoustic cover of Touch The Sky here: https://community.guitartalk.co.za/d/27221-i-am-bob/40

guidothepimmp

Its a bit of a mix of all my favourite things (folk rock, funk rock, rock) ?

I'm sure you get the picture.

A thanks to Stoffeltoo who provided some guidance and tips on mixing and recording. Much appreciated.

RodneyVikens

guidothepimmp Your guitar skills are next level. I will stick to punk vibes for now. Down, down, down, down, down, down.....

guidothepimmp I heard an earlier version of this (sneaky sneaky), but I love the way it came out! Glad you posted the version with vocals, and as always your guitar work is something to be envious of.

Stoffeltoo

Mijaelle

guidothepimmp Herewith my entry.

Can you please be the lead guitarist in my band one day? ? Great guitar work man. Loved it.

studmissile How could it possible not be an anthem?

Yes indeed. Stud your stuff is always stellar!

RodneyVikens So we have an Anthem for Homeless Sidewalk, Jazzy vibes, Diepte Afrikaans, Alternative Punk something, Country, Rock 'n Roll.... Nice!

It's a proper mix this month. All great entries. Well done all.

guidothepimmp the blurb on mine.. i started playing at 13 when i could see myself doing epic riffage to metallica and judas priest.
Back then was when the grunge era was taking off.. but i was always drawn to chili peppers, ugly kid joe, priest, extreme, skid row etc.
The common denominator.. rock of all shapes and sizes... hot rodded high gain amps.. soopa strats.. and spandex pants ?

So for this recording.. i opted for hopefully a catchy riff. High gain.. and some lead fills. Also in the mix was a spandex pants look and feel, and a nod to some folk rock with the acoustic intro stuff

guidothepimmp

RodneyVikens thanks mate. Very kind of you

guidothepimmp

Studmissile - Buckle Bunnies

Unashamedly country. There's a telecaster with twangy tones, double stops, rodeos, cowboys, bulls, broncs and buckle bunnies. How could it possible not be an anthem?

RodneyVikens

studmissile well done. Sounds good.

Stoffeltoo

I would have been disappointed if it was'nt Country. The day I can gooi your riffs, i'll be a happy man indeed.
Well played. Luvit!
