    Thanks...lol

    That riff is one that didn't make it into the tune I wrote it for. In my signature, check out the soundclick tracks, and play Firebottle Boogie(demo--my guitar track is a throw-away here). You'll hear the pull-off thing at the end of the figure, but I thought this riff was a bit busy for the tune.

                i just go for a straight beep or click, anything other than that screws with my up and down beats since i've got ska up-strokes deeply embedded into my thought process when when playing.

                  I forgot to mention before that it means a lot to me that so many people liked what I came up with for this contest. This is obviously a place with people that love electric guitar and guitar music and gear and tone and all that stuff (like I do). I've had a love hate relationship with guitar and gear (mostly love) and have been enjoying it more lately than ever before. I'm still trying to learn and improve and this contest was definitely a part of that. I've never considered myself to be creative and I have to force myself to do it. I envy those that have a burning desire to express themselves and play music. The things I've recorded that I'm proud of are things that I made myself do just to see if I could actually create something that I would like to hear, because I don't feel creative but I love playing guitar. And I feel like making up a cool riff is not an easy thing to do. So many great ones have already been done! Anyway, thanks again to everyone involved.

                    Interestingly, the Round 1 battles averaged 71 votes each, the Round 2 battles 52 votes each, and the last two rounds 46 votes per battle. I would've expected the number of votes to stay about the same or, if anything, increase as the battles went on. Did people lose interest over time?

                    My goal is to average 100 votes per battle per round. I hope the riff-offs become popular enough for that to happen.

                      I think the amount of time between each round might have had a lot to do with it. There was a lot of waiting around for each round and I think unless you were actually participating you could lose track of of the thing. Four weeks to finish a contest is a long time, though I don't see any way around it.

                          i was wondering if the timeframe (lead up to the holidays) lead to diminished participation .. if so, perhaps we'll see more consistent participation in the next tourney ...

                            congrats to all, especially the Riff Master himself, cyberBKP.

                            I kinda suspected adam was monie's ghost with his text in the 1.3 thread.

                              And congrats to all who made it further than I did. Totally shocked and yet not surprised it was ex250 who beat me in R1. I thought for sure it was Diocletian


                              Anyhoo, let's get jiggy with the 2nd Tournament
                              you guys in R1 going head to head was my favorite battle I gotta say.
