    I think this is a great idea, I only saw the thread an hour or so ago and I'm humming ideas.

    When do we get to hear the entries?

    Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!

    To make it fair in terms of voting and exposure time all entries will be posted and visible to the public on the youtube channel on the 17th March, there will then be a two week listening and voting period before the winner is announced.

    Fair enough - I've got a couple of ideas mapped out so hopefully I can get something completed soon.

    Really want to have a go but I can't get the toanz from POD farm, and my laptop is dead.  I'm typing from a borrowed one.  

    I might borrow it for a bit tomorrow, install the PS UX2 and POD Farm and see if I can just throw some blues at you.  

    I'm a bit shit at guitar though, more so at blues!

    Did the deadline change since you put the original post up?

    (I'm working on a countdown ticker and checking the first post again it says 15 March.  Thought it was a month after that, but maybe I got it wrong.)

    No you are correct it did change, it was made a quarterly competition as everyone said that four months was too long. Although I think it was changed very early on after the competition was published.

    I think I'd have a dabble if it was something less utterly clueless about. 
    Any ideas for the next theme?

    The next one is going to be chosen by the moderators, they have not decided on anthing so far but I believe it will be something a bit more friendly to a wider audience.

    I have listened to some of this desert blues and...

    I just can't do blues. I might submit something very short and rough, but I really don't enjoy playing the blues at all. I suck at it too!

    But if there are only two entires, I get at least a bronze medal...

  • ThePrettyDamnedThePrettyDamned Frets: 7416
    Okay, just to add to that, I think I have a cool idea , though it'll realistically just be rough blues over a drum track...

    Still, aiming for bronze at the mo!

    Okay, I can't record today but I've come up with a very simple thing but it sounds literally nothing like the desert blues. It's just taken a single small component of it and I've used that. So... Very very very very loose influence.

    I'll record it tomorrow and send it over. It'll only be a minute long probably. I get bored of the blues very quickly.
