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 😸

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. 🙂

        The 22nd is going to be a close one for me.

        I had to send in my electric for a electronics service and may only get it back this Friday.

        I do have my track figured out at least.

          For everyone I reckon! I'm happy to push the date backa week or two if anyone else thinks it'll help them as well?

          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 😃

            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.

            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!

            RCVN Na, thanks for dragging me off my lazy bum to actually record something. I enjoyed it very much. Got some good whah practice!

            Righty, voting thread is up! Check it out here

            ...Ummm I really was hoping for Eruption. Literally 🤣 Sorry, I just couldn't resist!

            Give me about ten years, then you get your Eruption bagpipe cover 😀 Just need a little practice time 🤣
