Announcing... RiffMasters!

:LOL: @Randy Van Malmsteen my Sweetwater Personal Assistant / Virtual Gear Tech has hinted to me several times that great skill and talent such as my own is what truly fuels the music gear industry. He's an insider, so he would know for sure

Also, I guess I should apologize a little for showing off. I know not everyone can afford this kind of sweet-ass vintage gear.

You are a collector and those are collectibles.
There is only one amp I wish I still had and that is a Blackface Bassman Head.

I’m hearing a bluesy version called “love is blooze”….


I’m always down for down tuning though

Round 4 summary

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 after the vote)
Redo a 1960's Billboard Charts #1 Hit, but put some extra oomph in 'er please

2. Guitar Duel: ( 1 pt. )
"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 like C-grin did!)

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.

And Love Is Blue is one of those 2-bar songs. Two bars in, you remember it all. Sweet tune, cowbell-friendly too, I'll betcha! But really now, what song isn't?

Weren't we just talking about the harpsichord a couple pages back?

There are more details in the rules, but pretty much the just of it. Though must warn you, if you join you will likely be challenged to a wery sewious guitar duel in a few weeks time.

I did pay for the reaper license haha. I’m fairly computer illiterate so once I finally figured out to make the Kemper work as an interface it was game on!
I also found a midi keyboard in the trash at work…and it still works, so yall better watch out.

Seriously though I’m excited for this. I love the challenge and it seems like a great way to get better at the process. I look forward to some constructive criticism, I can handle it, just remind me that I’m pretty afterwards.

Welcome to the crazy house.

Was going to say…. “Hey guys….. fresh meat.” But that’d just be rude. :pound-hand:

Welcome to the madness!

If you need any help with reaper, there are some really knowledgeable people here. I started a thread on recording and DAW questions so you can ask there.

I am looking forward to your entries. And don’t let all these pool hall sharks fool you. They say they can’t play but we all know better.


Again welcome to TTR.
