Well done @RCVN & @klaasvakie & An.Other on winning the Tribute challenge! You have the joint dubious pleasure of choosing the next one...heh.
studmissile best compliment one can hope for
I gotta agree! I gave it a good few spins myself - was absolutely radio quality. I might play around a bit with the 'verb on the vocals as a potential tweak, but further than that - this one's ready for some airtime!
V8 I'm gonna pass the "honour" of choosing the next challenge straight to @RCVN - he did the hard work on this one. I really enjoyed playing on this one, it's a fantastic track.
@studmissile I'm really surprised by the outcome on this one, check your wallet because I think you got robbed here mate. Thought your track was fantastic all round, and it definitely broke out of the "@studmissile" sound that I am used to hearing. Loved your guitar work!
Well done gents. I had a really difficult time choosing between the winner and Stud's entry. The reason I ultimately went with Ruan is that I felt it fulfilled the brief better. Two fantastic entries there.
As for my own, I have to agree with you guys, I shouldn't have played it at full speed. I was actually pretty good at it 10bpm slower. Ah well. I remember being pretty chuffed with the guitar tone too... not so much anymore. I may have learnt a few things in the last 3 years. 
klaasvakie check your wallet because I think you got robbed here mate.
Well put! Though, I'mthinkingg it wasn't daylight robbery - both competed strong on creativity - just, for once production didn't sway the votes?
Yeti I was actually pretty good at it 10bpm slower.
That was what I was thinking I heard. All the notes are there, the rhythm of the lead was totally there - just felt like you were pushing to nail it at ?original? bpm?
klaasvakie Don't sell yourself short, you guys did a great track and tribute to Chris.
Besides you'd only hear me complain if it was real money out of my wallet. 
I was hoping to get @Yeti on harmonies, but the vocals were really down to the last minute.

That would have been cool. Would be nice to collaborate sometime.
Incidentally, I like what you're doing with your vocals these days, they're starting to cut through the mix nicely.
Yeti Definitely. Thanks
klaasvakie Again, Thank you for your help! I would never have gotten those tones.
Yeti Kind words, thank you. I really did enjoy your entry, it fits your style quite well.
studmissile The mix was amazing and the end product well polished. I concur with the sentiments above. Great effort!
@V8 I have to appreciate the effort and the fun had. I really enjoyed it.\
Thank you for everyone's kind comments, I really did enjoy this one.
@klaasvakie I have two challenge ideas that are tickling my fancy. I want you to make the call on which.
Mantra challenge. A song that acts as an instrumental build-up. Vocals are optional since it would be more instrumental based but may add to the effect.

I hate Afrikaans pop songs. They are way too cheesy and are rip-off of international pop-rock tracks. So let's try it. I wouldn't limit it to Afrikaans, but bonus points if you do. It should fit the style at least.
How bout we do a combo: Mantra, feat Patricia Lewis... FTW!
Im happy with either! Super cool ideas...
@RCVN Gonna go with Mantra here - I think going afrikaans pop doesn't necessarily leave that much room for lots of guitars, and this is a guitar forum after all
