Fretboard Task 3 October 2013

What's Hot
FretwiredFretwired Frets: 24595
in Studio & Recording
Courtesy of @Basher

Riff-o-matic: try and come up with something with a strong riff, or riffs. Let's see if we can get the next Black Dog, So What, Seven Nation Army or, god forbid, Sm*k* *n t*e W*t*r.

Let's see who can come up with a cool riff .... :-)


Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!

    I think I recorded something on my four track, way back in the day.  I'll see if I can dig it out.

    I tried inserting a widget, but I don't think it worked, so I've just embedded the URL. I'm not much of a riffer, and much less a drummer, but anyways, here goes...

    hmmmm discovered It's quite hard to come up with original riffs!  At least for me it is and I think I need a real drummer to jam with.  Couldn't get anything going with my loops or garageband dice shaker.... Should have used some distortion as well.... Anyway here's three short cheesy ones

    Love them octa - love the way you make full use of effects yet still have a raw, "kick arse" sound; and I alos like they way you break out of the traditional even number of lines per section system, like your first intro riff in the first one happens 3 times. Great.

    Some good stuff so far, particularly like @Lodious amd @Octatonic

    I'll cheat for now and post a short clip from around 18 months ago when I first got my (since moved on!) PRS McCarty.

    Will try and have a go at a "from scratch" effort at the weekend.

    So you used to be nice but now you're handsome? Great grungy riff btw and Stickster I loved yours, especially Space - reminded me a little of Skeletal Family and the lovely stan greenwood.

    Seeing as there's little love for the Persian Scale (4th mode) and everyone else is cheating, here's one I prepared earlier. Actually the riff's not mine, it's Jonno Stanford's. There's a little guitar solo in the middle too ;)

    How do you get soundcloud to work?

    Edit - ah, you have to actually save your upload.

    @dindude nice stuff.  Reminds me a bit of electric gypsy by Andy Timmons.

    @Viz, my secret is out, and thanks for the feedback. 

    Like @Basher requested at the end of the last task, I think we really should get away from the Blue Peter style of responding to these tasks, and get more into the spirit of them. To this end I shall record a new one, I have just written for this task, over the next few days.

    This lump of riffage was for a game that my mate was writing. He never finished the game and I never finished the song. 

    It's from a time when D&B was the future :D

    I liked your 3rd one very much but forgot to say so because I was so annoyed about nobody saying nice things about mine :)

    No worries viz and thanks for the kind words.  They were all pretty bad.  Usually when I record stuff I cringe when I first hear but after a day or so I think it's not too bad.  I still continued to cringe at these..........

    I do think they should be restricted to the task though and not previously made recordings but hey ho nobody put me in charge ;)

    I does agree with this, although I fell foul of it this time round.

    As some (well none really) recompence I just had a little go at something else. Gave me an excuse to wheel out the guilty pleasure Charvel, please don't judge me.
