Its been a while since I picked up anything and actually played.
Here is a modern problem you can all relate to.
Lyrics
TRAFFIC
Verse 1:
Woke up late, in a rush,
Coffee in hand, still gotta push,
Out the door, on the street,
But guess what’s waiting for me!
Chorus:
Traffic, I’m stuck in jam
Could be movin’, glued where I am
Traffic, when will it end?
It’s me and this road, my longtime friend!
Verse 2:
A sea of cars, trapped again,
Bumper to bumper, man I lost my zen?
GPS says minutes to go,
We all know that’s a joke, right, bro?
Chorus:
Traffic, I’m stuck in traffic!
I could be movin’ but I’m glued to this habit!
Traffic, it's so tragic,
I swear next time, I’ll go Super Jurassic!
Verse 3:
Radio’s playing that old song,
The one I hated, but now I sing along,
Because there’s nothing else to do,
Except watch that guy eat his drive-thru.
Chorus:
Traffic, drives me insane,
Might as well go dance in the breakdown lane!
Traffic, when will it end?
It’s me and this road, my longtime friend!
Verse 4:
Screamin’ kid’s in the car ahead,
I really wish I was back in bed.
Honking horns and flashing lights,
We’re all living in this slow motion fight!
Bridge:
Traffic …. Traffic … Traffic
Chorus out:
Traffic, drives me insane,
Might as well go dance in the breakdown lane!
Traffic, when will it end?
It’s me and this road, my longtime friend!
Traffic, I’m stuck in traffic!
I could be movin’ but I’m glued to this habit!
Traffic, it's oh so tragic,
Crawlin’ at a snail's pace, I’m goin’ Jurassic
Traffic
Traffic, drives me insane,
Traffic, when will it end?
It’s me and this road, my longtime friend!
Here is a modern problem you can all relate to.

@LiveeviL2000 is back from a musical hiatus, black sabbatical, rehab, some misdemeanor time served, whatever, nobody's judging!
Apparenty he's got a problem with traffic! Why don't he just telecommute?
ah city life. Don't miss it at all. Ok, it's a heavy riff, heavy tones... well played too! And a suitably pissed-sounding vocal attitude bordering on roid/road rage. Definitely feeling the claustrophobic, goin' nowhere fast vibe.
L2K gunnin' hard to pass the 100 point barrier! Can he do it?

Thank you! I'm flattered.
I use a Line6 HX Stomp for everything.
left channel is an Ubershall setup
Right Channel is a Soldano setup
The Lead part is the same Soldano set up with a delay added.
Bass is a Soldano setup.
Vocals go through the Stomp also.
The Guitar I use is a BC Rich Trace Warbeast with Nazgul pup tuned C#
The Bass is an Ibanez 605
Sounded great.
You should be proud of yourself. For whatever reason first time I clicked on it to listen, my browser locked up.... to the point I had to use Task Manager to close it down. Then it wouldn't reopen. Had to do a restart on the laptop to make the browser go again. But I was determined and was finally able to listen.

Great tune, I do relate but I traded my parking lot commute for a less complicated commute. Still a pain but not a dead stop crawl.
Get out bbq and get back in to continue. lol

Lots of points but someone is going to get dirty doing this challenge. I can safely say I have been drug through the mud on every challenge. This is a great idea but it would have to be double the points and double the time.Chapter 10 Side Hustle
Press Play
Mariachi is an ensemble of musicians that typically play ranchera, a regional Mexican music going back to at least the 18th century.
It first evolved in the countryside of various regions of western Mexico. Modifications of the form included influences from polkas and
waltzes, then the addition of trumpets and violins and incorporation of charro dress (decorative mexican cowboy outfits). In the
early-early 20th century, mariachi was seen as low class musical form, a soundtrack for womanizing and drinking, especially of tequila.
However, over time this perception changed and it has become a much prouder, more nationalized form of music. Mariachi styles
began to take on national prominence in the first half of the 20th century Mexico, gaining wider radio airplay becoming an integral part
of Mexican life as it began being utilized more and more at important events such as weddings, funerals, presidential inaugurations, etc.
Many song styles / genres inside Mariachi, including corridos, boleros, ballads, sones, danzones, joropos, pasodobles, marches, polkas,
waltzes and chotís. Song themes are about machismo, love, betrayal, death, politics, revolutionary heroes, and country life.
None of us are a part of of brass/string ensembles I don't think, nor are there any guitarrón in the house, so full-on accurate mariachi is
probably not a real option. That doesn’t mean we can’t muster up a little south-of-the-border latin-flavored guitarra, keep it acoustic,
or rock it up if all you want.
The most Side Hustle points ever available, but as you may expect,
RiffMasters gotta work a little harder to earn the full benefit.

If I was going to do it, I would do a cover but being the last challenge and the work involved would out weigh the value. I did listen to a few songs.
