As with the RawRotM, I don't see a playlist. Something to do with the forum upgrade?

Four high quality riffs this month. Almost nothing in it but:

5 points @stratman3142 - now that's a RIFF! (it does sound a touch familiar though?)
3 points @Bellycaster - fonkay! Precise playing too.
1 point @kin ;;- cool sounding.

Feel so mean having to leave @steamabacus ;out of the points - nice atmosphere on this one but it needs to go somewhere (I'm guessing that's it's actually the start of a track anyway?)

Wow.
5 points @steamabacus , very cool and nicely put together.
3 points @Bellycaster , schweet.
1 point @stratman3142 , not quite my thing, but really well executed

@kin, a very close 4th.  Sorry.

Good varied riffs this months (pity there aren't a few more entries though - at least it's 3 from 3 and I don't have to leave anyone out like RRotM)

1st - @stratman3142 ; Nasty   (5 points)   ... but nice. 
2nd - @Bellycaster ; Moochin'  (3 points)  Well funky.
3rd - @kin  ; RiffyMcRifface  (1 point)  PitchyMcPitchshifty??

5 points : @Bellycaster : Great funky playing with good feel. This was the clear favourite of mine. I like this style of music.
3 points : @steamabacus : Even if I didn't see your name against it, I think I would have guessed this one was one of yours. Stylish as usual.
1 point @kin : Sounds good but I think the steamabacus entry just had the edge on it.

Cheers all for the votes.

@mellowsun   It was all recorded using my looper - Digitech JamMan SoloXT. The drum loop was created with Addictive Drums within Cubase SX, based on a preset pattern as far as I recall. I then eq'd it with a kind of 'reverse 12" speaker' eq curve (as it's being played through my guitar preamp's speaker emulation) and loaded up onto the JamMan. Everything else is layered up with the guitar on the looper.
