Thanks!That was a quick turnaround. Well done! Nice choice.

Just a quick 'n' dirty version kind of inspired by DIR EN GREY ...

@Oldiemurphy has made his choice for his duel against @Mouse and while I don't think it's the one he was
probably hoping for, he did manage to choose the most valuable tile on the whole board.
Up to 20 points if he can pull off, (or hammer on), a victory! Pun intended!
The All-Cheeze Guitar Tricks Challenge has very specific rules of engagement.
1. It can be no longer than ONE FULL MINUTE
2. Inside that minute the duelist must land as many different cheap (or super cool) lead tricks as he/she can! Some suggestions we might expect to hear are: a pick slide, harmonics, dive bombs, tapping, double stops, unison bends, etc... whatever you can think of, and jam it all into one minute to the backing track of your choice.
3. Your submission must come with a list of all the techniques listed in order of use in the recording... and the total number of unique tricks you treated us to.
For the official duel only: Any specific unique technique tricks you get in over a dozen in number,
and list for us are each worth a bonus point as well!
Either of you may go first, inside ten days. The other has max ten days to respond.
Your performance will be judged by community vote for the win/loss, bonus points will be added later.
This does NOT have to be shown live, so you are free to DAW it up however you see fit. Consider how many stunts you can land, and still remain somewhat musical, or go for frickin' broke. Your gamble!
How will your peers react in the judging? I have NO idea!
This Guitar duel is also open to the general TTR membership and all RiffMaster competitors for an automatic single point and I do hope everyone gives it a go and has some fun with it.
SUMMER SPECIAL GUITAR OLYMPICS RULE EDIT: The RiffMaster who manages to land the longest list of unique tricks/techniques in their submission, will also earn a bonus FIVE points from an international panel of extremely corrupt judges, and will also attain TTR IMMORTALITY as round 8 ends. I suggest the rest of us also throw much virtual fruit and vegetable produce at this showboat/virtuoso.

@Oldiemurphy is a hell of a player so I’m really looking forward to hearing what he comes up with. I got a few ‘tricks’ but the real trick is keeping it musical. That’s the hard part for me.

Happy Summer Sunday Morning fellow Riffmasters!
Last night a few friends visited the Penthouse, and a fun time was had by all. Went through three bottles of Dom, most of a 40 of Grey Goose. Ordered in a gourmet spread of tapas and charcuterie fixings. My guests brought a number of interesting party games I'd never tried before. Heck even I was a bit nervous, but once we got into the costumes and got know each other a little bit, we cavorted for several hours.
Truth to tell @Aynirar27 some of that puppy-proofing might have come in handy in here last night.
Two of the ladies stayed over, sounds like they're fixin' breakfast in the kitchen. Must go shower now before church! Ta-Ta!

@Aynirar27 I sent a +1 invitation your way, but the two ladies who showed up said you were feeling under the weather?!? Hope you are feeling better today.
In the time I've known you here in TTR.... I don't think I've ever heard you use those 7 words in the same sentence. Who are you really typing this and what did you do with the true @TVvoodoo ????

OK here we go. This was the best I could muster with my limited trick bag. I made a quick BT and I think I managed to get in some tapping, dive bombs/tremolo, pinch harmonics, regular harmonics, right hand harmonics, slides, double stops, palm muting, unison bends and a big pile of slop tying it all together. I bow down to you tricksters who have mastered this stuff.
Sounded pretty good to these ears.
