studmissile I've mashed it up realllll good. Maybe beyond recognition - I think I've reversed the challenge and made it a challenge just to figure out where I used it 😅

For me, that's the beauty of these challenges, let the creative juices flow where they go.

Hokay folks,

I am done fretting (mind the pun) over this track. It is what it is. I am now officially fresh out of ideas 🤣

So here is GTPs "The Lick". This round I went completely out of my comfort zone, It ended up with a lounge kinda vibe which surprised me somewhat. Largely clean guitar, tried to get a bass groove thing going, and all of that on top of a drum sample I picked up on Landr. I couldn't edit the drums much being theyre a sample.

Lead was a tele. At some point I realised I was on bridge pup, I really wanted to be on neck pup, so I switched then and for you attentive folk, you may note there is a tonal change to a sweeter lead tone. I couldn't be arsed about redoing the bridge piece again.. so it stays.. Hidden in the back is an electric organ filling some space, and my boy cameo'ed by shaking the pepper in the background.. Thanks Blue for the cool challenge!

guidothepimmp Nice one, another early bird!

I havn't done a thing since my first attempt a couple weekends ago - work and birthdays - but I'll have something for sunday. Likely gonna be half assed (as usual) but a foot tapper hopefully 😁

Well..@NorioDS is gonna donate a R100 Paul Bothner's voucher for this month's winner...if you needed any more encouragement!

Nice one @NorioDS !

Almost done, it's an older entry with a few embellishments and 'the lick!'

    studmissile Nice! I'm getting there too - I think @Bluetone has infected us with earlybird-itus 😆 Usually I'd still be tweaking at 23:58:59

    ...though, I think it's to preserve sanity as much as anything. I really don't enjoy tracking and then listening back how much I don't practice 🤦

      Wowzers. All mighty fine. Gonna stick 'em on the monitors and make a choice, but it's going to be hard. Wish I'd had the time to get one done but between getting one child settled at UCT and the other one sorted in isolation (Covid scare at the school) it's been a messy few weeks.

      Nicely done fellas.
