The Guitar Talk Tribute Challenge
RCVN The range in styles and genre's is going to make it hard to judge though.
For sure, it's kinda like a 'in the style of' with a twist. Hoping that there's lots of passion in the tributes (of whomever). 4 weeks to nail EVH leads...ermmm, not gonna happen for me. Aside from no floyd, no flanger and no humbuckers this side...
He sure will be sorely missed
V8 thats ok. All you need is gain and phaser
guidothepimmp Doh...a Phase 90, not a flanger! And also a talent booster pedal and some fresh strings - I reckon the fossils on the strat are for viewing purposes only at this stage
Quick check-in - I'm somewhere, but nowhere close.
Did learn the synth rhythm for jump - it's big fun - but can't really play fluently yet. The synth solo is do-able, but I'm not really feeling it.
Also started some finger strength training with the digiflex - it's a great thing to use regularly. While no massive improvement in a week, I do notice the ring & little fingers are beginning to move a little more independently of each other. So EVH solo's are highly unlikely from me
Been enjoying listening to some Van Halen.
V8 me too. I am struggling with an idea.
Then I remembered all the other artists who passed. Malcolm, Chester, Chris... loads of great music to choose from i guess. Wasnt feeling it today, so will see how it goes tomorrow

So true, I find myself meandering into a "let's link this riff to this one" for a super tribute but it generally falls into some kinda thing that aint quite a 12 bar and not quite 80's shred.
I've been able to find an 80's shred tone. That's going to be the tribute part.

Waaaaaaiiiiittt a second....Stud shred-age??? I'm all ears for this one,
Allll righty have updated the entry data, we've got another week (and happy to add another week onto that if neccesary).
so new deadline is Sundy, 29th November 2020 23:59PM

More time is good
But I don't know if I can contribute something this time. My guitar skills are far away from playing EVH and bagpipe does not really fit this kind of music. I also was a litte bit buisy the last time, I'll see if I get something going yet
- Edited
It's the Pimpocaster, single tracked, recorded w/cell phone. Zoom B2 & Roland GR-S for effects. Three riffs stuck together and played not-so-well If using headphones, you might notice some muffled thumps during the first one - that's over zealous righthand finger damping - those graphtech saddle piezos are sensitive
Last couple of months have been hectic and I haven't had time to put together anything new. Instead I decided to stretch the theme slightly and enter the first guitar song I recorded back in 2017.
I really enjoyed this Collab with @klaasvakie and another bud of mine outside of GT.
Great work on the guitar parts @klaasvakie, appreciated.
Went with one of my all time favourites from Audioslave, RIP Mr. Cornell you are surely missed.
Unfortunately I didn't get anything ready this time. No bagpipe convenient tracks and my guitar skills are too far from being worth an EVH tribute
But at least I can vote and I'm looking forward to listen through your creations!
