COMPOSITION CHALLENGE #26
Time for round #26 of the Fretboard Composition Challenge.
Every few months there'll be a composition challenge. It revolves around individuals or groups of forum members composing and recording music based on a set of rules or guidelines laid out for that particular challenge.
No prizes for this challenge. It's just for fun, a spur to creating, sharing, discussing music/recording and learning. Plus a way of testing the water with your creations and getting some feedback.
GUIDELINES -THEME
The idea for this theme comes from
@Fretwired in the post on 3rd Feb at the link below:
The theme for this one is: "A track inspired by one of your favourite bands/artists".
This is wide open from metal to blues to jazz to acoustic folk. Name the band with your submission. The track needs to be "in the style of" and not a direct copy of a track by the band/artist.
Note: I've said "one of your favourite bands/artists" because I still need to decide mine, which could be Free, Steely Dan, Extreme, Jeff Beck, Robben Ford etc etc.
Picture: In addition to the music, try to create your own picture that relates to your selected theme/title. This isn't mandatory but, as a small incentive, those that provide a picture will be awarded a free point to add to their voting score. Note the picture can be anything from a hand drawn sketch, photo, photo edit or something generated in a graphics package.

Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
Coming up with a tune fitting to the style is currently the hardest button to button... ba dum tish.

Only received one entry so far, plus I've done mine apart from the picture. How's everyone doing with their entries?
I might have to consider extending the deadline if we don't get more entries soon.
