Riff of the Month (RotM)#56 - Challenge

stratman3142

This is the 56th Riff of the Month (RotM) Challenge.

The challenge is now open, and remains open for submissions until midnight on 24th March 2020 updated to 23rd April 2020.

All you have to do is ...

Write a riff. It could be anything from a single RAW guitar track to a full mix of instruments or a Bass guitar riff. However, the 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. 

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.

I'll have another bash, even if it's to keep the numbers up. Now where did I put that "Killer Riff Writing For Dummies" book?

Much appreciated. I treat these various challenges as mainly a challenge to myself to come up with something every month.

Deadline extended to Midnight 23rd April, because people have bigger things on their mind right now.
Maybe people will have more time on their hands next month and will welcome a distraction.

Done my entry which is in the playlist in the original post. Another bass riff from me, but it can be anything.

If anyone's looking for something to do, to occupy their time, why not have a go.
