Modify it after 57 seconds???? Can I exted it? change the speed a bit?? Actually, I'll do that after the challenge because I have a Monster riff for this! I bet some other bugger wrote it though! Ha ha! But as soon as I heard the BT it came to mind and it is (even though I say it myself!) a killer! Can't wait to share it!

Norm

Change it any way you like, bro! The reason why at :57, is because the original backer is so long and repetitive - basically the same changes throughout the length of the backer, and I wanted to make it short for the competition. :mrgreen: I did a fade out a little after :57, so if you want you can copy and paste the last progression on the backer starting at :57 to extend it out, then just fade the whole thing out yourself if you feel it's easier to do it that way. :mrgreen:

[Highway Star]

Well, I'm done. In fact..... I've been done about five times!! LOL But I keep coming back to the first one I did so, to ensure my mind is fully made up.... I just deleted the others!

Looking forward to hearing the other entries! I wonder how similar or different they will be?

This format is a winner!

Hehe - not the typical rock scale, so it might throw some people off, but if you're privy to southern rock it might not be so bad. :mrgreen:

Well.... I have no idea what the southern rock scale is (or embarrassingly any other scale! LOL) But I played what I felt fitted.

Don't feel bad Norman. I don't know what most scales they talk about here and I was great at theory in college. :mrgreen:

I just played in E mixolydian. Same as A major scale but you start on the E to the E.

[Highway Star]

Hope you guys are all ready! It's the 5th tomorrow....

Norman

[Rick_Lamoreaux]

Indeed! I'll have an email addy PM'd to everyone, and I'll setup the poll probably sometime tomorrow evening. :mrgreen:

[Rick_Lamoreaux]

A PM has been sent out to everyone that has requested to enter the challenge! Please send entries to the email addy provided. I will create the poll soon after I receive all the entries. :mrgreen: If anybody else wishes to participate PM me by 7PM MDT!

Good Luck :mrgreen:

[bigdoug]

[Rick_Lamoreaux]

[bigdoug]

I may be wrong but I think I combined a little of the "Allman Brothers", "Kansas", and "Lynard Skynard". There are so many bands in that genre. 38 Special, Blackfoot, Marshall Tucker band, Head East and others I can't remember are all Bands that I listened to.

This jam was pretty cool. It took me a while to decide which way I wanted to go with it.

Looking forward to hearing everyones. I hope Barry did one. He lives in the heart of it all.

[Highway Star]

I also hope Barry has done a version. A real Southern Rocker!! Nice!

Mine ain't so Southern I guess. Amanda thought I'd nicked a Hendrix riff! LOL

Norm

[Rick_Lamoreaux]
