Here's my attempt at a GFSA theme. Had to rush it so it's not as rounded as I'd hoped. :-[

I almost feel like not entering here after reading all the info on the last theme... but I'll take it as practice... I tried to go for a choir of guitars at the end. I guess I better brush up on my soloing and I left out drums deliberately, although I reckon they may have made a difference (not to mention some decent guitaring...) oh, and for the record I used 6 guitars in all...

Please do, any comments will be greatly appreciated! ?

Wow Pete. That is just too awesome. ? I loved the first riff/sequence and how it seems to mimic a bagpipe.

I loved Manfred's as well. Very Thin Lizzy in style ?

Bob-Dubery

I thought the entries were very good overall. I particularly liked Pete's because it had a message about the forum and because it embraced various styles - this is a GUITAR forum, not a folk forum, or a blues forum or a metal forum. It might be a bit too long for contemporary attention spans though.

DonovanB

I dunno Bob, I think the idea to span different styles was very good. I tried to use as many different guitar elements as I could in mine as well. Never even occurred to me to try a medley like that. Bravo Pete.

It was still a tough one to vote though. Indymusics and Steff's made it onto my MP3 player to listen to though. I enjoyed those a lot.

Manfred's entry made me laugh, but in a good way when you feel so happy and you don't know why. It actually made me feel like a kid again... Well done.

Errr... that's what I was trying to say ? I applaud the stylistic range.

Thanks Andrew - nope, its a dynamic - Sennheiser e385 - I also use it for vocals; recording and on stage.

Squonk

Brilliant Pete

Basically all the weekly comps rolled into one, Voice over is excellent, perfect entry

Still listening to the others, Neotel a bit slow with downloads tonight.

Nice work indy, really loved the song, i get why people are voting for peteM, which was alot of work im sure, but it was a bit cheesy for me, the voice over made me smile ? indy's tune rocks

nice job to everyone else also!!!

PeteM

Hey oldben1978 - I buy the cheese bit. You can move it if you like, but I'll always find some more. ?
