Simple: we would rather talk about music than play or listen to it.

I'm as guilty of this as anyone, and I play guitar every single day.

That's what makes the riff cool - there is some oddity going on there, and I just wanna hear more. It's not that odd, in the end.. But odd and groovy enough to fascinate. ;)

Actually, almost every "friend" I have from this board is made in this room. I think this is the beat part of the forum, not overcrowded, not too stretched or moderated. Mostly creative heads and talented people.
It is one of the best rooms in the Internet indeed. We have people like TheBoatcanrock, Geoff Wells, Frank , Niels, Rob , Adam, Matt, Cgord and many others just sharing their creativity and looking for feedback.

I am a bit curious why some of the prominent tips and clips people doesn't vote or even leave a comment.

how is riff b winning? riff A is much more compelling!

Your statement in light of the score just demonstrates that judging is a very subjective matter!

I found A to be tighter, more focused, and certainly harder driving ...... all big pluses. I thought that both were very creative ..... as the time signature demanded, but that B was slightly more original sounding.

Ultimately, it was the x factor in riffer B's submission that tipped the scales. There was something about the melodic content that appealed to me.

...and we'd much rather talk about Jugging the Merlot than music! :friday:

When this idea was introduced, I had grandiose thoughts of what it could become. I mean, it couldn't be simpler, right? Listen to two 30 second clips and vote for one. We should have 100+ votes per round. Out of 1,600 active members we're getting about a 3% participation rate.

Riff A rolls over the 7/8 change well, but I feel like a lot of effort was made to create something that did fit with that timing. I feel that odd time signatures are not a part of your typical musical vocabulary. If that's true, very nice job creating a riff in 7/8 that doesn't feel overly-forced.

Riff B sounds like a riff that I want to hear the song to. While a bit more "jarring" to the ear than Riff B, I feel that it goes above and beyond being in 7/8 and makes a musical statement.

Nice job by both guys, but I have to give the nod to Riff B for being something I could definately see a song being constructed around.

Re: Riff-Off TITLE BOUT: GoDrex vs. B2D

I liked both, but Clip A was definitely more my style. I got a little lost in clip B.
 
Re: Riff-Off TITLE BOUT: GoDrex vs. B2D

For me it was definitely riff B. Riff A sounded like it was overly constrained by the timing. Riff B was very original and compelling.
 
Re: Riff-Off TITLE BOUT: GoDrex vs. B2D

Both of them are very good but riff B just makes me want to hear what happens next.
 
Re: Riff-Off TITLE BOUT: GoDrex vs. B2D

Sorry for stepping in late.... a few problems at the minute!

Anyway, both great but I'm going with A. I just felt that it could be a monsterous opening riff with some BIG chords coming in on the third cycle and a lead break on the 4th... great stuff. However, I liked the complexity of B, unfortunately I am having a few problems getting B to play all the way through without it stopping? and that kind of ruined it for me. Both really cool, nice one fella's.
 
Re: Riff-Off TITLE BOUT: GoDrex vs. B2D

B2D = Riff B
GoDrex = Riff A

Of course. :D
