How’s everyone doing with “Fever” so far?

You know, I am really glad there was so much time given to do this contest. I’ve made a ton of progress with my guitar playing over the last month or so by working on an arrangement for this song. It’s really had time to develop, in between all the other stuff I have going on. I know I’m not on here much lately, but I just wanted to say that. And I think I’ll be able to get back in the swing of things soon enough. I miss you guys!

I think I might even do a tutorial video for my guitar part when I’m done. I’ve learned a lot, and I think that some of the parts I came up with are really fun to play, not to mention quite challenging. Like a tongue twister for your fingers, haha.

I doubt I’m going to find time to participate. Between the day job and the sound company growing, I don’t much feel like trying to record in my down time. lol

I’m still planning on entering the contest. I’ve only visualized my cover concept of Fever so far. It’s been floating around in my brain for a month or so but I haven’t focused much on it. I have the groove, some lyrics, a basic chord structure and arrangement ideas, but nothing has been written down or recorded yet. I’m a big procrastinator. :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

End of july is approaching fast but few votes…
Can we activate the community to get off their buts and cast a vote? I’d hate to be judged on the basis of one vote only.

#29

Unfortunately not many contestants yet either…

I’ll definitely be voting. I’ve been waiting for most of the entries to be submitted so I can compare them all in the same state of mind. No entry from me however, I’ve been wrapped up in home improvements and the inspiration bug just never bit on this one…

I am sad to say i am going to have to admit defeat. I have been working on a project, building wood guitar stands that we are taking to the Vancouver Guitar show and I was thinking i might have enough made by now but i have not so it is going to be 11 pm nights all week. i really wanted to enter so that there is enough people to do another because i really want to get involved once things slow down.

I’m going to start recording my entry right here and now, 2 minutes to midnight. :dizzy_face:

Do you think I still have a remote chance? Like maybe a snowball’s chance in hell?

No worries! You still have 9.5 hours!

Awesome!
That means 12 am “West Coast” time?

I’m an east coaster, so I thought I only had 6.5 hours.
I’ll need those extra 3 hours! :+1:

I ended up working the full 9.5 hours and I wasn’t able to complete the song to my satisfaction. Would have liked to give this forum another song to evaluate. Ah, procrastination is a helluva condition. :confounded: Let’s see if I can do better next time. I guess I couldn’t do any worse than I did this time. :flushed:

If everyone else is cool with it, I don’t mind you throwing your version in.

Sounds good to me. :+1:
Let’s just make sure everyone is ok with that decision though. I don’t want to piss these guys off…They might be dangerous! :stuck_out_tongue:
