At the mere mention of the word key signature let alone 3/4 has put our less advanced competitors into psycho-neurotic shock. I think it also might of been aided by Bob's assertion that 6/8 is not the same as 3/4 if you count it in 3 sets of 2's This week all our competitors are from the A group so you only get 1 vote each. I haven't listened to Alan's entry yet but I bet it involves some sort of poly-rhythm

Nice classy waltz at 200 bpm. And by waltz I obviously mean thrash metal. With some (not too much) shredding because I know X-rated Bob loves shredding so much.

This challenge reminded me of the 3/4 opening track on In Flames' excellent debut album, song called Moonshield. The opening faux-acoustic piece is a tribute to that, the rest is mine.

[quote author=X-rated Bob link=action=profile;u=411 date=1276443195] Here's my entry. http://www.box.net/shared/llay3jnxof. It's called "The Slider's Waltz". About 60% done on the Morgan, the rest on the Smoothtalker. Category A please. [/quote]
[quote author=Warren link=action=profile;u=2258 date=1276452933] My entry for the week. The comp this week gave me a chance to get going with a song I've been wanting to do for my little girl who just turned 5. :) This will eventually grow into a full length song, but this is the basic idea condensed into a minute. Filename is A-Warren_Fairy_of_Greenstone.mp3 http://www.box.net/shared/0e3gcabl3g [/quote]

Rhythm is 12-string electric. Lead is the StraTele played with an E-bow (normal for eight bars then harmonic mode until end). Serious processing on E-bow part (more later...). [/quote]
[quote author=doc-phil link=action=profile;u=323 date=1276584426] I know I've missed the deadline for submissions for the 3/4 challenge, but I will send you my entry anyway and you can decide what to do with it. I only saw the challenge thread yesterday so I assumed I had until next week. This track is something I recorded a while back... but it combined 3/4 riffs with some standard 4/4 ones. I just cut out the 4/4. I was a bit confused about what was mentioned about the 3/4 vs 6/8 thing, so I'm not sure if I've fallen into that trap! But here it is... one minute of pure metalcore. 2 guitars, 1 drums, 1 bass. http://www.box.net/shared/1ifjphjgqx [/quote]
