Ok, well it looks like we may be going with eleven. Perhaps it's the right number after all.
Everybody, get tuned up for our next TTR musical journey of delights!

Below is The countdown to the time TONIGHT where I will reveal the exciting
RiffMasters Main Event #1 Challenge
Still time to jump in as a Pre-Registered Player!
Even a couple more can squeeze in before we start!
- All TTR members can play, but pre-registereds get more chances to earn points.
- Only they will be in on the X-tra fun Guitar Duels part of the game, designed to level
the RiffMasters playing field for skill & talent. If you think you might want to be in, and
don't mind having access to a bit of a secret weapon if you need it, jump in now!

And so it begins
Press Play!
Most of us began our guitarman journey as young bucks! Perhaps you thought music would be a cool way to impress friends or gain yourself a little edge with the ladies. Maybe you just plain wanted to rock out, like bands you were diggin’, to release pent-up young man energy. Maybe you were just a dang musical prodigy!
Did you take lessons? A friend or older brother coach you? However it happened, as part of most every beginner experience, you eventually graduated to actually be able to stumble *almost* through a whole song. What a huge confidence builder! Soon enough, after more struggles, you managed another, then even another. Wowee! You kind of actually became a guitar player. Imagine that!
“Opening Act” allows you to travel way back in time, past years ‘n years of busted strings 'n hurtin' fingers to a time when we were actually probably even worse than we are today, LOL! Now, all of us together, we each get to share the beginnings of our guitar adventure!
Your challenge:
1. Reveal to your TTR Brothers in a few sentences what inspired YOU to play guitar, how it all began. Maybe tell us about the first gear you had, a fledgling band fail, whatever. It’s all going to be of interest, pretty sure on that!
2. List the first three songs you can remember being able to play through, reasonably recognizable.
3. Choose ONE of those selections and give us a minimum 1:00 clip of how you’d play it now!
Bang it out on acoustic, or produce it up all you wanna. Audio, or audio/video. Your choice. Most of all, please have fun with it and enjoy your trip back into history! Five weeks to deadline from today.
*** COUNTDOWN ***
*** RiffMaster Main Events are open to ALL TTR members, to share in the fun and score points! ***
Not going to tell people HOW to post or judge, but the whole package you enter may make a difference in the end.
Once you post, NO Editing of the musical selection, or the rest of the deets, so BE SURE!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Main Event Scoring:
48 hour Community Vote once all submissions are in.
Top Vote Earner = 10 points
Second & Third places = 7 points each.
Participation Award: All other competitors who submit entries = 5 points.
In the event of ties, earliest submission wins top position.
We all begin at “Busker.” As your points grow, you will ladder up through several fun new designations.
@Clockworkmike you bravely entered RiffMasters as the very first to sign on! In addition to the sure to be exciting Main Event, you also have ONE week to challenge any other pre-registered competitor to an awesomely entertaining “Guitar Duel.” After naming that lucky competitor, you get to choose a surprise theme from the Guitar Duel board, and learn how many points it'll be worth to the both of you.
If you fail to challenge, the 12AX7 demon will be summoned to blow up all your beautiful glowy tubes. It will not pay to run from a
Guitar Duel challenge! Even if you lose, as long as you take a shot at it, you still score highly valuable RiffMaster points.
Once the Guitar Duel Gauntlet is thrown and the field of battle chosen, I’ll explain further on Guitar Duel rules, scoring & penalties.
Everyone, I HIGHLY suggest you "WATCH" this thread and bookmark this post for future quick reference, (find your bookmarks in your profile).
I say this only to help you keep up in the game. These threads get VERY chaotic, so it's nice to know where to find stuff quick.
Quick General Rule recap
1. Only outside vocals allowed as collabs.
2. Players' choice of format: audio only, or audio/video.
3. Minimum music clip length 1:00.
4. Five week deadlines for each of 10 main challenges
5. Vocals absolutely NOT required.
6. No Penalty for opting out of any main challenge.
7. But watch those guitar duels! You do NOT want to chicken out as challenger
(lowest score) or as the one challenged. Expect to pay!
8. Points will be awarded for all honest submissions.
8. As Game Organizer/Inventor, TVvoodoo starts with 75 pts LOL!

I have a question.
If @Clockworkmike whole reason for playing guitar was Dave Matthews.
How hard will you piss your pants?

That's a big Hell Yeah, on that @Thatbastarddon How few of us had the luxury of Youtube tutorials, or tab.
It was needle drops and slowed down records, or simple chord diagrams that were never like like the real deal.
