GuitarTalk December 2021 Challenge - Memory Lane

studmissile You don't still have this?

Sadly, nothing that was uploaded to guitarforum servers survived - relying on peeps memories and whatever is gathering dust on the hdd's. My first ever entry is lost to the place wandering electron's go 😁

However, my sleuthiness even impresses me sometimes... #SheerLuckHolmes.

Dunno what happened to him, he was really, really talented - the acoustic version of Callisto is fantastic.

studmissile

Of course Barry Pieterse. Thank You. Yes he had some great entries.

Juuusssst sneaking in the GuitarTalk Era 2017-20 from the Tribute Challenge (Nov 2020) is this pearler from @studmissile. The other tune that stuck in my head over the years - this track's got soo many layers, worth re-re-relistens 👍️

The Guitar Talk SUPER Challenge! 2019

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.

This was the image I dug

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 🤦‍♂️

Yeti

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!

V8

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 😉

domhatch

Geez there are some talented artists on this here forum. Just been going through the various 'playlists,' and – man oh man – 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?

Yeti

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.

V8

Yeti Nice one! And don't trim - mine's like two songs long a.t.m 🤪

Yeti

V8 lol
Fine... just need to figure out how to format it... them's a lot of songs!

domhatch

Yup. This @Yeti 'Show Must Go On' entry gets my vote for inclusion. Defos.

Yeti

V8

@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,... 😁
