Here's the 41st RAW Riff of the Month (RRotM) Challenge.

The challenge is now open, and remains open for submissions until 11:30pm on 24th January 2019.

RAW Riff of the Month (RRotm) is different to the other (RotM) riff challenge because you are only allowed to submit a recording with one layer of guitar, but you can use standard guitar effects such as wah, distortion, delay, modulation etc. This is all about one amazing riff and nothing else. 

All you have to do is ...
Write a riff.
Record it with one layer of guitar (standard guitar effects are also permitted)
Aim to keep it to a maximum of 50 seconds. This is about riffs, not songs.

Send your entry (as an mp3) to riffs@theFB.co.uk
Include your forum name in the email.


Voting will start soon after the submission deadline, with each voter selecting their 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice.
First choice gets 5 points - Second choice gets 3 points - Third choice gets 1 point. The order and scores of the top three entries will be announced soon after the voting ends. If there are 8 or more entries, then the order and scores of those in the top half will be announced.

No prizes. It's just for fun.

As people submit their entries, I'll post them below to hopefully promote some discussion on approaches used.

  • Just a reminder of this challenge. If there are no entries, I'll run it over for another month and if there's still nothing after that I think it's time to knock this one on the head.

    Extended for another month (again) to 24th January 2019.

     Hopefully we'll get more entries. Last call because, if not, it's sadly time to discontinue this challenge.

  • @DesVegas ;

    Finally we have two entries.

    @DesVegas I boosted the level of your entry a bit, as it was a bit quiet. Hopefully that's OK.
