Here's the 43rd Raw Riff of the Month (RRotM) Challenge.

The challenge is now open, and remains open for submissions until midnight 23rd June 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.

    Entry closes tonight. But I might have to carry it over to next month unless there's a sudden run of entries.

    Carried over for just one more month, as there are only two entries.

    Maybe Raw Riff of the Month will be combined with Riff of the Month if the interest doesn't pick up next month.

    Is it literally just guitar in this, or are we allowed drums as well?
    Too much gain... is just about enough \m/

    I'm probably the only member of this forum mentioned by name in Whiskey in the Jar ;)

    Raw Riff of the Month is just guitar (or bass guitar).

    If you want to add other instrument then enter in Riff of the Month at the link below.
