REMINDER OF GUIDELINES
The idea for this theme comes from @Fretwired in his post on July 25 at the link below:
https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/160505/voting-for-composition-challenge-26#latest

The theme for this one is: "A track with only guitar on it - you can use multiple guitars (bass, electric and acoustic) but no drums or keyboards or brass. So it could be an acoustic guitar piece or a multi-guitar piece - you could create a rhythm by banging your guitar. You can use as many guitar effects as you like but no guitar synths".

PLAYLIST
Below is the playlist of entries:
Each entrant has also provided a picture, which becomes a bit bigger if you click on the individual track in the Soundcloud playlist.

    My track was created using only my Fender Squier Vintage Modified PJ Bass plus a few effects.

    Interesting tracks these, really difficult task (surprisingly so).
    In a way it's nice there are only three tracks, everyone gets points!  Because I like them all so would've been hard to ignore any one. This is heavily persuaded by personal tastes too I'm afraid .. I'm going through a bit of a phase … so ...

    5 points : @stratman3142 - just loved the purity of it.
    3 points : @Fretwired - ambience is really my jam at the moment and those pad sounds are lovely.  Be curious to find out how you did them!
    1 point : @poopot - man its great, your tracks are always great!  Just pipped because I'm a slag for ambient right now.

    5pts @stratman3142 - made a bass sound musical!!!!!

    3pts @Fretwired - really like that...

    for infos sake... my “drums” were done by smacking the muted strings on my bass and dropping an octave for the kick... smacking the strings and eq for the snare and the “hi hats” were just rakes across the strings of the tele...

    5pts to @stratman3142 - love the different use of a bass and the delays

    3pts to @poopot - loved the way you hit the brief and were creative creating 'guitar drums'


    @Bezzer - when it's light tomorrow I'll take a pic of my setup and walk you through how I got the pads - most of it was played live via a looper.

    Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!

  • 5 points: @Fretwired. Orchestral ambience. Lush sounds. I'd be interested in how this was created.

    3 points: @Poopot. Funky. Inventive way of generating the drums that fitted well with the guidelines.

    Thanks for the points - I'll show you how the 'pads' were created. Relatively easy.
