The Guitar Talk Anthem Challenge 2019
@ScottyDogg - Purple Cow
Thought this was a great concept.
studmissile Loved the TV Theme Song Challenge.
Link or it didn't happen
Was thinking to add 'Favourite Challenge' category - you've convinced me.
The "Picture Challenge - Aug 2014" was my favourite - really have fun memories of that one.
studmissile Thought this was a great concept.
+1, also dug the approach - throughly enjoyed this track, especially when the guitars open up - great find!
studmissile Ahh, that was a fun challenge, totally enjoyed it - forgot I did a cheating by using a looper for ghostbusters
I'm listening back through old challenges and putting together a list.
... I have come to a conclusion though. I think we should abandon the GuitarTalk album and just put together an @studmissile album instead!
Yeti . I think we should abandon the GuitarTalk album and just put together an @studmissile album instead!
I was wanting to poke @studmissile earlier in the year to think about turning his entries into a album, so when he mentioned having a look back at challenge entries, I figured it was a gentle nudge
Geez there are some talented artists on this here forum. Just been going through the various 'playlists,' and â man oh man â whatever ends up on this 'album,' it's gonna be a killer.
We really should try to us this album as a 'demo.' That could enable the peeps whose tracks get nominated to complete them, get into a studio, record them properly and get them on streaming services. Thoughts?

So I've finally finished going through all the challenges since I joined... and my shortlist of favourites is 27 songs long.
Yeah... I should probably trim that a little before posting.
Right, here goes. I think I'm going to split this up over a bunch of posts to preserve my sanity.
@Jazzman105 - Convo at Cockcrow unplugged
Lovely laid back acoustic jam
@studmissile - Security Transit Guard
Really moody and beautiful
@V8 - Two5ive1on
Cool, laid back jazzy vibe with some really cool lines and licks
@studmissile - Why I failed the 12th Grade 3 times
Really cool country/blues tune with a nice sense of humour
@Yeti - First World Problem Blues
Shameless self promotion, really enjoy writing humour
This is my favourite challenge... there were just so many great entries
@guidothepimmp - Gimme Cheese
Link broken but I remember this being properly funny
@RCVN - St James Infirmary
Really cool, gritty track with an awesome vibe ( Jy's vieslik!)
@klaasvakie - No Limits for Nothing
Super creative and nicely put together
Right... part 2
@RodneyVikens - Touch The Sky
Nice driving riff with some good production
@guidothepimmp - Anthem to Rock
Nicely put together hard rock anthem
@V8 - Anthem
Upbeat, funky and fun with some cool sounds and great progressions
@studmissile - Everyday is just like Christmas
Nicely put together Christmas track with some awesome textures
@Yeti - Free Now
More shameless self promotion. This is pretty much my favourite thing I've recorded.
@klaasvakie - Hold Back
Cool off kilter beat and nice variations
@daveo1977 - Enjoy (Depeche Mode)
Just a really nice live acoustic version
https://app.box.com/s/04nls0ju412tg8za1ykv6y6h1fn0pmrn
@studmissile - Smallest of Chance
Really solid up beat country track
@Meticus - Du Hast
Dudelsack! This just works way better than it has any right to
@Yeti - Very, very nicely done!
Beeg thank you for doing some heavyweight trawling - I've got some trawling to do for the winners and then some playlists to make up.
Did come a cross this - Qrates for getting vinyls pressed. We're not going to, but for around the price of a decent tshirt ($15/ea) - one can get a batch of vinyl's done (min 100). Wowsers,...
Nice list @Yeti . Your tag brought me back from the dead. Last time a really played was when I did the recording for that one song. Since then life has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride.
RodneyVikens I'm in the same place. Just barely touched my guitar in close to a year. Been a crazy time.
@V8... that is quite a lot less than I expected.
There is still one more post coming... probably later today.
And here's the last one
@studmissile - No Fair (Keeps the money rollin in)
Really fantastic, well put together track
@RCVN (featuring @klaasvakie ) - Like a Stone (Audioslave Cover)
Awesome cover, really nailed it
@Bluetone - Guitar Talk Acoustic Challenge
Next level track, really fantastic
@studmissile - Beer Just Talkin'
Nothing to see here... just another fantastic Studmissile track
@Yeti - Every Night and Day
I know, I knowâĶ this is getting ridiculous
@klaasvakie - Baa
Really great live performance
@Stoffeltoo - Cape Town Brandy Sunset
Nicely put together multi track acoustic
@klaasvakie - My Girl
Great live performance and great comedy
@Bluetone - Blues Challenge
Top instrumental track with an awesome solo
Right-o, let's start with 2021's winners!
Here's a playlist with them all, from most recent (Blues Challenge) to the Tribute Challenge
Blues Challenge - @studmissile and @Bluetone tied for the win.
Re-Imagine Challenge - Seven entrants for this one! All seriously good too - Tough voting. @studmissile with the win.
Line Cliche Challenge - @Yeti won with a great vocal take.
Songwriting Challenge. @Bluetone won with some sweet lyrics and a even better solo. Only two entries with @studmissile being the other, but both tracks were great.
The Lick Challenge - Sometimes you gotta throw the bass player a bone. V8 somehow won this one.
Acoustic Challenge - Was our most voted on challenge, and I think it was @Bluetone winning on debut and he won some strings too!
Mantra Challenge - @guidothepimmp won it won it won it
Tribute Challenge - @RCVN won it with a collaboration with @klaasvakie.
Dunno if I'm going to go through every single challenge for the other era's - but thought 2021 deserved some love (and I had playlists handy already!)
