Cover Challenge #7 - official chat thread

What's Hot
Welcome to the 7th fretboard concert challenge. The rules are simple - there are no rules*. 

We all start with the same song suggestion and record our own cover version. It's up to your imagination as to what you do with it. It could be faithful to the original or as out there as you wish. 

The idea is to share creativity and see how we end up with differing results from the exact same start point. Feel free to change key if needed for vocals. Feel free to go instrumental/spoken word/rap if singing isn't your thing. Feel free to share ideas in this thread or keep your hand close to your chest. Just have fun with it. 


The track to be covered has been chosen by the winner of the last challenge @IMC1980 ;

And his completely autonomous choice is....

Drum roll...


Nine to Five by Dolly Parton


Yes. That's right. So get on it



RULES:

Entries to be sent in mp3 format to the following Email address:

covers@thefretboard.co.uk

You may wish to submit artwork to go with your entry. It brightens up the playlist and might get you more votes but it's not mandatory. 

Entries close at 11.30pm on Saturday 31st August. 

Only one entry per participant. 

A playlist of all the entries will be posted in the Voting Thread and you will have approximately one week to vote. Vote for your top 3 with 5 points awarded  for first place, 3 points for second place and 1 point for third place. Entrants obviously aren't allowed to vote for their own entry. 

Unlike other challenges in the Cover Challenge the winner wins a prize - they get to choose the track to be covered for the next challenge. Please have ideas ready in advance as you will only have approximately 48hrs to PM your suggestion or The Management will decide for you. 


Good luck.

    Right, it's started … it's coming together very, very quickly.
    Trying to pay attention to the comment that the last wasn't far removed from the original … but who knows how that will pan out.

    I have nothing but a vague idea about drop D and triplet kicks. More than I have had for most of these though.

    Can we enter more than once? Ha ha
    I'm seriously loving making this … but I think I may be on a hiding to the worst last place in history … possibly a negative score?

    Well I'm happy for more than one entry per person. And the crazier the better IMHO

    I'll be honest, I don't think this one is for everyone.  But I've loved every minute of making it.  Some of the decisions, mix wise and otherwise, may raise a few questions but I promise it was all intentional!  Ha ha

    (its in a 23Mb zip btw, so if you don't get it let me know!)

    Still thinking about it. In other words - I haven't started yet.

    It's not a competition.

    Been involved in a one off band for my mate's birthday party - covering my versions of Hot Stuff and Power of Love actually - so been a bit busy there. Just need to do bass on mine; should be done at the weekend.

  • Almost there. The tune is pretty much done. Now I just need to think about the picture.

    It's not a competition.
