Announcing... RiffMasters!

@Ben Waylin because we were voting on many of the submissions, rules were necessary.
It's easier to compare apples. I'm sure you get this.

Sometimes the rules got a little complex, I understand that. Mostly for bonus points if players
wanted to go the extra mile, and felt they needed more points to be competitive.

Covering a top 100 billboard hit from the 1960's isn't all that complex to figure out.

I do like the format of the @Iron1 Do Something challenge, and have cross-submitted a few things myself.
It seems for that format the bulk of submissions is the winning formula - this encourages LOTS of participation
and things to listen to, but then the more prolific creators just crush and overwhelm others less inspired

I feel a working inside chapter themes was ideal to stretch and inspire players to grab an instrument and
nudge ourselves out of our same old playing pattern/habits which was really the ultimate goal. Not the points.

Like others I'm sure, I keep finding myself reverting to the crutch of gained up lead work over backing-type
tracks for hours on end and it all just blends into random guitar chicken-chokin' and does not serve my personal
goal of becoming a better recordist or songwriter/lyricist very well.

Just tryna help you guys out.

I am kind of optimistic that @TVvoodoo is brewing up a come back for this epic challenge.

I was never more motivated to participate, share and record.
The whole contest was a great learning experience.

We met many new people in the contest who brought great songs out of nowhere and now there are even more noob’s. Well noob’s to the forum otherwise musicians. lol
I would like to hear you all again.
280 pages.
 
OMG I suddenly feel exhausted just thinking about this. I truly do want to do something again. Sort of a mash-up of Game of Toanz and RiffMasters feels right.
I've been occupied with my business, it requires quite a lot personal hustle - - the future is uncertain, and the end is always near.
Possibly as summer winds down.

I would step up just a little but I know very little about the whole process. Maybe a group or few others could help as well if interested.
Playing was the fun but the real work was behind the scenes.

I expect to retire later this year but I do have a back log of projects from present all the way back to 2019 at least. Pointing the finger at myself. All that aside I think this game had merits worth engaging in again.

The Game of Toanz was also an interesting contest for me it went a little deeper off the charted territory I embrace about my music journey. Others likely disagree.
One thing is too much homework however necessary pushes the boundary on everyday life. A year is a bit long. 6 or 7 months might be better?

What's been goin' on over here? I've been on a painting kick. Also just got diagnosed with Lyme Disease,... (Idk how many times a I can win the lottery) I guess that's why I've been having such terrible vertigo since the end of last summer. I just thought my injury was getting progressively worse. The symptoms are nearly identical, just worse. I do miss hangin' with you folks and all the creativity.
 
I think I mentioned it. I got REALLY sick from a tick bite last summer. Damn thing wasn't in my for more than 20 minutes! I made the mistake of spooning Oreo.(My cat) He's irresistible. He is, after all, Mr. Purrfect.
I'm sure I mentioned it. It was so bad, my old lady freaked out and started crying. I thought I was having a stroke or something. My eyes started rolling up into my head, You know, like when you drink TOO MUCH and get the spins? Like that, without the fun, drunk part. We'll, turns out, Lyme. G'DAMN you NAZI scientists from Operation Paperclip!!!
