Zurf .......... yeah probably a bit confusing. But this month was if you go back and read it, was the listed songs which people had suggested for their first ever songs they attempted. So this month was to for anyone to attempt those songs that people suggested last month BUT they could also challenge anyone to try and cover any one of the listed songs this month (hope that makes sense) verses other CHALLENGE MONTHS where we get to challenge any one for ANY song you want ![]()

Anymore suggestions for December Christmas songs?

Re: NOVEMBER 2017 FSOTM - CHALLENGE THEME (94 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Here is another very quick attempt as one of this months FSOTM ~Folsom Prision~. Bit of lag with me blowing the whistle lol as I was trying to perform this on my own (hard to get to the whistle on time). Think my banjo ukulele could do with some new strings too!

easybeat, I haven`t forgotten your challenge song to me, will get onto it, I will have to sit and learn that one though as I don`t know it that well
easybeat, reckon as you did your first challenge so quickly it is time for another challenge for you too..... so I challenge you to ~Gloria~ ![]()

Ok, here is a very quick attempt I did this afternoon of ~ Elvira~ . I tend to get a bit too fast in parts (but then I have a bad tendancy to do that at the best of times).

Re: NOVEMBER 2017 FSOTM - CHALLENGE THEME (94 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Ok ... just got done listening to all of your covers neophytte ............. and I have to say, well done for attempting so many of the songs this month! I think you are the first one to have a go at so many, so wow and well done to you!
Smoke on the Water ... great guitar work in there.
Stepping Stone .......some very clever guitar work particularly toward the end of it!
Sylvia`s Mother ... very recognisable, well done
and finally Leaving on a Jet Plane . You have done really well to cover all these songs, impressive to say the least.

Re: NOVEMBER 2017 FSOTM - CHALLENGE THEME (94 replies, posted in Featured Song of the Month)
Wow great to see all these covers going up
So far since I was last on here and commented, I have listened to 3 of your songs neophytte ........and will continue to listen to the rest this evening when I get a little bit more time.
So neophytte, so far I have listened to Elivira, Folsom Prison and Proud Mary. Good covers and well played. You play the guitar well and the use of the fret board on some of the songs very well
Elivira was a bit different to how iIusually have heard this song but the beauty of doing covers here is that we can make them to sound however we want, so good for you. Folsom Prison version also a little bit different too but both of these songs you made them your own. Have to agree with what zurf said about the vocals, they could do with being louder or the mic up closer so as not to be out done by the guitar playing.
Proud Mary was the best one I thought because you seemed more confident and it seems like you know it well, so your vocals and guitar style on this cover were good, very enjoyable on this one ![]()
