Announcing... RiffMasters!

Here's my main event submission for Round 4 "Top of the Pops"
hit #1 in 1969, by the "Archies" but written by Jeff Barry and Canadian artist Andy Kim, who had several hits in his day. I actually worked with Kim's daughter for a bit in broadcast, she was one of those local "entertainment hosts chicks" at a TV station I worked at.

Wow, cool story. nice guitar melody. General timing was much better on this track. I thought I'd read that you had some ASIO issues before, but also that you're using a different system now too.
 
Thank you @Randy Van Malmsteen, appreciate your constructive critique. Yes, i have upgraded to a newer but still win7 box but this one sportin' 8K ram, baby!
I'm diggin' the extra power!

Speaking of extra power... I thought for sure there would be a whole bunch of youse jumping at the chance to tune down and rock out something evil and nasty for that single point!

Have y'alls gone easy listening on me? All I can say is guys, it's time to rock TTR! What are you waiting for? C'mon!

Down as low as I could get my Les Paul to without major tuning issues, Db.
This isn't really my normal jam but was fun to tap into my dark vampire side for a bit.

Yessir, thank you! ... That's about as dark and deathly as I can musically muster @ibmorjamn ... I believe my only impediment now is a serious lack of pointy guitars, towering fortress-sized walls of pants-leg flapping amps and cabs, and a super intimidating codpiece.

Hey, we know of a solution for the first and last part of your issue! There's a great salesman on Craigslist who has a pointy guitar for sale, bout $150 OBO last I seen along with some odoriferous bottles and even had Paul Stanley's used jockstrap worn live. @Thatbastarddon might even be able to handle a pickup for you lmao
 
@Clockworkmike I saw that! Definitely lots of "mojo" in that one.
@Thatbastarddon why don't you head over there to check it out for me?

Once again a status update where we all at right now!

Liveevil2000 and Ku may share the tippy-top of the leaderboard,
but member Sapient has the most guitars, probably

LiveeviL2000 - Death Dropped "Come Together" in Beast Mode for (1) great effect
Clockworkmike - Edged out 16 points by dueling, wants to take us higher
Mitch Pearrow SJMP - Gentlemanly moving on to his 60's hit, or cowbell
Ku² - Gettin' to know Eleanor real well, still living in a dream
Ibmorjam - Hangin' onto Sloopy, in the bad part of town
TVvoodoo - Shoogah'd Off one time, Deth Dropped C'mon
C-Grin - Honky Tonk wife hadda to show him where the bell is
Jethro Rocker - Is soon almost a believer
Sapient - Said he was hittin' the road, will he come back?
SG John - Suspiciously, getting more suspicious every day
Thatbastarddon - Sees a red door, wants to paint it black
Kerry Brown - On hiatus, all wish him 100% good mojo
jtcnj - Who has Power of Attorney, shall we pull the plug?
Randy Van Malmsteen - Now trying to conquer Big Bad John
Iblive - All we've heard so far is the Sound of Silence
BFT Gibson - Rang that Liberty Bell low down and hard (4), just keeps hangin' on

RiffMasters Chapter Four allows for up to 16 new points for most competitors,
eleven of them pretty easily without even winning a vote! How do you get 'em?

1. Main Event: Top Of The Pops 1960's (10/7/5 pts. (5 automatic)
Redo a 1960's Billboard Charts #1 Hit, but put some extra oomph in 'er please

2. Guitar Duel: (1 pt. for most, 16/8 for Clockwork vs Mitch)
"Deth Drop" minimum 1:00 Riff of Dark Scary Evilness, down-tuned guitar
(you may combine this with your 60's #1 cover, Moar Cowbell, or both!)

3. "Moar Cowbell" Min. 1:00 (1-5 pts.)
1 pt. cowbell solo, or to a playalong
2 pts. Moar cowbell to your drums and original rockin' guitar riff
3 pts. Same as above, adding a funkyass/groovin'/rock bassline
4 pts All of the above, but we also need video of you conkin' that bell and singing some lyrics
5 pts. Virtuoso Mode: You, on vid, conkin; that bell artistically and enthusiastically,
to a TOTALLY non-cowbell type of song of your choice

Guidelines:
1. Even if you have not submitted anything to RiffMasters so far, anyone can jump in at any time if you are feelin' it.
2. Regular challenges are all optional. Only the official peer-to-peer Guitar Duels are mandatory.
3. Points don't matter. RiffMasters is about putting the gear to work, inspiration, creativity and guitar fellowship.
