Riff of the Month (RotM) #74 Challenge

This is the 74th Riff of the Month (RotM) Challenge.

The challenge is now open, and remains open for submissions until:
Edit: extended for another month until midnight 24th May 2022 to allow time for more entries.

All you have to do is ...

Write a riff. It could be anything from a single RAW guitar track to a full mix of instruments or a Bass guitar riff. However, the focus must be on the riff. Most entries will probably be guitar based riffs, but they don't have to be.

Aim to keep it to a maximum of 50 seconds. This is about riffs, not songs.
Send your entry (as an mp3) to riffs@theFB.co.uk
Include your forum name in the email.

Voting will start soon after the submission deadline, with each voter selecting their 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice.
First choice gets 5 points - Second choice gets 3 points - Third choice gets 1 point. The order and scores of the top three entries will be announced soon after the voting ends. 
No prizes. It's just for fun.

Entries will be loaded into the playlist below:

    Entry closes at midnight 23rd April but I might have to extend it another month, as it's a bit quiet this month.

    In theory, entry closes tonight at midnight, but unless there's a sudden influx of 2 or more entries I'll extend it to next month.

    The title of mine reflected the fact that I had the lurgy and was still testing positive when I recorded it. I think it will now reflect the fact of remaining hopeful of some entries next month :)

    One from @Springywheel in the playlist. I just need one more to avoid carrying things over to next month.

    Rarely get time to come up with something for ROTM in the last several years. I think I've only managed 2 or 3 since 2018.

    I'll try to get one in if it's extended.
    And they said that in our time, all that's good will fall from grace, even Saints would turn their face, in our time.

    As there are only 2 entries I'll carry it over for another month. Hopefully that's OK with @Springywheel ;

    I really appreciate all the work @stratman3142 is putting in organizing these contests every month. And I really like all these contests as I don't do a lot of playing. And this sets me to put in some effort in my hobby again. But I'm pretty busy with the garden at the moment. And I wanted to do something with my Tommyhawk, but not sure how to record it. Find it difficult to catch the dynamics of acoustic instruments. 

    But who knows...
