Riff of the Month (RotM)#53 - Chat

stratman3142

Here's the 53rd Riff of the Month (RotM) Challenge.

The challenge is now open, and remains open for submissions until midnight on 23rd September 2019.

All you have to do is ...
Write a riff. You can include whatever else you want in the mix, but the main focus must be on the riff. Most entries will probably be guitar based riffs, but they don't have to be.

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.

Done mine. I expect some will hate it

I'll post a playlist when I get another entry.

I might be able to squeeze one in, back in the UK tomorrow night, so will see what I can do...

That would be great if you can manage it.

Not going to manage it this month!...

All of the challenges end tomorrow night. Unless there are some sudden entries, I'll have to carry them over to next month.

I am back in the UK, but have a blocked right ear. Had a go earlier, but can't really work on anything until it clears. Looks like it would carry over even with my entry so I'll get one in for September.

Carried over for another month. The new deadline is midnight 23rd September.

In the playlist. That makes two entries.

Entry closed. I'll start a voting thread soon.

As there are only two entries and none for Raw Riff of the Month, I plan to roll Riff of the Month (RotM) and Raw Riff of the Month (RRotM) into one challenge next month.
