The Challenge 20 - 29 September 2010 Vote Please

Renesongs

This bi-weekly challenge has attracted all of 2 entries. I would normally say that the topic was to vague or difficult but this topic was chosen by a popular vote. Anyway here they are:

[quote author=evolucian link=action=profile;u=1152 date=1285752814] My entry - Screaming at the dead - category A I haven't played slide for a very long time, I am in no way a slide player. And i finally got to play my electric again, yaaaaaaaaaaay!! http://www.box.net/shared/uf00xp5vcv [/quote]

[quote author=X-rated Bob link=action=profile;u=411 date=1285773502] I entered this composition before, but I've re-recorded it with more slide and more prominent slide. It's called [i]The Slider's Waltz[/i] Category A please http://www.box.net/shared/l2bso25rto All done with my Morgan, though for the "rude" bits I fed it through my Boss Micro-Cube and turned the overdrive up a bit. [/quote]

We have a late entrant [quote author=raithza link=action=profile;u=2352 date=1285831572] Hi! here is my entry for this week... http://www.box.net/shared/e1zpfyjccl I only got my recording interface yesterday and only had an hour or so to do it so it's rough around the edges and way too soft. But had fun :) hopefully next time will be better [/quote]

Sorry guys I can't vote this week. No one was better than the other both entries were excellent so you both are the champions IMO

Gotta be Evo ? Those harmonised parts are really cool.

The low turnout is a major disappointment. I was looking forward to a good selection of entries here.

Let's see if we can get a good turnout of voters then.

Mr. rubbadubdubBob does it for me!
But both entries are cool!

AlanRatcliffe

Slide is completely alien to me (I've racked up maybe 10 minutes career total slide time - usually with a Bic lighter), and I've had severe problems with time lately. Anyway, thought I'd give someone else a chance ? (possibly with a soupçon of "get out while yer ahead" thinks applied too).

I'll make a plan for the next one ('specially if it's the Bach thing - I've been meaning to work out something along those lines for years).

Both entries were great, but Evo takes it for me as I liked the harmonies and intonation.

Ha! Wow. I think I'm gonna put it in my signature that "I've played twice as much slide as Alan Ratcliffe"? I used a miniature glass bottle and lots of distortion in my 20 minutes of effort, trying to go for a Ben Harper type effect. Not that easy though.... :-S

I have added your entry but I can't change the voting rules at this stage so you in with the big boys

evolucian

Bob - I loved it the first time too, this version is just as cool.. love it dude... quite a warm dirty drive as well... your melody on this is just so cool man... nice one

raithza - it was a bit soft, but its all new territory and will be quickly sorted ? ... nice harmonization and chord outlining... pretty cool man ?

Bob-Dubery

Thanks Evo, very kind of you and very encouraging ?

raithza

Evo, what did you use for the drums?

evolucian

Raithza - I used EZDrummer

Renesongs
