[Rick_Lamoreaux]

It's great to see you back with the Zombo Challenge, John! I'm gonna have to take a listen after all the bits are posted. I've been out of the loop for a while myself, so it's time to play catchup.

[zombo]

3 days left till the new one goes up???
I have promised myself not to say the P word!!

[Rick_Lamoreaux]

Yup, the month's almost over. Dude, when did I go over 2000 posts, lol?

[Guitarpima]

If Rob can't do the last spot, would you like me too?

[Highway Star]

If Rob can't do the last spot, would you like me too?

I think so. Rob is obviously very busy (new job remember).

There will be a slot in the next one for him.

Farl

[Rob]

I'm working on it right now guys so sorry for the delay will be up by end of today saturday, bloody hell i forgot how to record lol never mind play

[Guitarpima]

Cool Rob! Looking forward to it!

[Rob]

So sorry for the delay in getting this done and posted up John, really struggled with the ending on this one, I knew what I wanted to play in my head but transferring that to the guitar was, well you can hear I didn't really know how to end it lol.

Great playing by all I thought it was hard to play over but you guys make it sound easy, and everyone one sounds so smooth and fluid over the BT. Love the Zombo Jams and once again sorry for the wait to finish it :-)

[ZappaFan]

Will give this a listen tomorrow, tis a bit late now, I have been holding back until it was finished. Well done to all those that gave it a shot though.

[Guitarpima]

Nice finish Rob! Everyone did a great job! I'm glad the "Flying" Zombo jams are back.

[axe2grind]

I agree, I really liked this backing track which produced some lovely playing and different approaches.

Great job all!.

Justin.

[straitjacket85]

Great job everyone. A lot of different pulls with the different styles. Loved it


Todd

[gragger]

That was awesome guys! Everyone held there own and so many cool styles going on. I totally love these jams.

Tops guys!

[Highway Star]

Great to hear it finished. I must say that Steve Dak's part stood out a bit for me but, having said that it was great throughout. Differing styles and approaches. Nice to play something where you have nothing to copy. Nice but... a bit daunting. Great to be taken out of my comfort zone and I'm pretty sure that jams make me a better player. Not a great one but I feel I learn a little bit from each jam and possibly from each player.

Thanks Zombo and thanks to all who participated.

Farl

[Rick_Lamoreaux]

Got to listen to it from beginning to end for the first time. A little difficult of a chord progression to follow to, but you guys came together and finished it off. It's great to hear everyone jamming again!

[bigdoug]

Great jam guys, way to hard for me so big respect for allthat riffage. :thumb:
