As our worthy winner of the Something Distorted Challenge, @guidothepimmp chose the next topic, which is...

Hokay.. so i am leaning to something funky for the next challenge. Maybe a "get your funk on using triads and di-ads, or any any other funky chords". Happy to hear other thoughts

You heard the pimmp, it's funk 49 time!

      klaasvakie Great minds think alike...

      My re-envisioned version of the cover uses both those shapes 🤘 As well as a a maj6 and a handful of dom7's.

      Now to find a guitar to record it with. Tempted to get the nylon's back onto the pimpocaster. Perhaps a set of silk n steels to split the diff between steels & nylons.

        Heh, it's all lies! I havn't practiced since 1996 🤦‍♂️

        So, did the right kinda funk find you?

        I thought it did, but load shedding scared it away 😆

        Deadline extension anyone?

          @guidothepimmp has spoken, we have a deadline extension!

          New deadline Sunday, 17th June 2022, 23:59PM

              How are the entries progressing?

              I think I have something going with a baseline, but every time I go back, I change it..

              Load shedding has also made this a nightmare.

              Any guitarists that wanna join up for a collab?

                RCVN Lordddyyyy, yes 😅

                  Sadly... was a bit of soothsaying. No entries this challenge!

                  So we've a open challenge topic, all suggestion considered for the next one. 👍

                    I should have taken you up on this - but I really wanted to get onto my idea first (I even jammed the idea's I had a jam with a bassist)

                      Yeah, I didn't leave myself enough time to get the other parts down.

                      Ended up having a throw away of a weekend so no entry from me... again...

                        Ahhh, you are in good company - I.e. everyone 😅

                        But you did get a bassline out - save it for a future challenge - who knows I might get my shift into order and be able to slap some chords over it.
