Thanks to @Meticus & @RCVN for our next challenge topic. This month we're going to do A "tribute" Challenge. Inspired by EVH's passing, but not li...

The Guitar Talk Tribute Challenge

guidothepimmp ... loads of great music to choose from i guess.

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, 🙆

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?

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 😃

studmissile Some tasty stuff around 1:20. Love it

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.

RCVN

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.

klaasvakie

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

Meticus

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!

V8

Righty, voting thread is up! Check it out here

Meticus No bagpipe convenient tracks

...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 🤣

V8

Meticus Dude, channel your inner Joerg...hook up a couple air compressors 😬

Meticus Man, they cut the video short before it got to the good part! Amusing how the compressor was almost in unison with the pipes 😁

C'mon collaborate with Joerg!
