MG.ORG song, cover and lead challenge season 2, week 7

[7 Dying Trees]

So, here we are, week 7 of the mg.org something for everyone challenge. We'll keep going until 8 weeks, so including this one, 2 more weeks to go! Nick looked like he was in control of the competition, but is now neck and neck with scole on points with 2 weeks to go

Hope to hear more this week, keep it coming shredders!

Points totals so far:
Nick: 60pts
Scole: 60pts
Valtteri: 40pts
Markus: 40pts
Leon: 20pts
schreckmusic: 20pts
7DT: 20 points
Vince: 20pts
Buddha: 10pts
Iron1: 10pts

This was born out of some people liking doing covers, whilst others like writing songs, with a combination of a few people just not having enough time to do full songs (hence the lead a week). Do one, 2 or all 3. Also, it means I only have to track one of these per week.

Rules are simple, do 1-3 things every week, Post your creations in the weekly thread as soundcloud/youtube links. I'm aiming to get various contributions for backing tracks, each one will be credited to the author. As it's the first week I'm doing a dropbox download, but we should get some dedicated hosting or something like that courtesy of chris.

The deadline for this week is end of play, Sunday 10th January

Short rules:
- You have until sunday midnight/monday morning to post your submission
- Either do an original song, a cover/medley or a lead over the provided backing track per week.
- Submissions must be stuff you've done this week, no matter how awesome an old track/recording is
- 10 points for each submission, per category.
- submissions as souncloud or youtube links. Well, as long as it is playable from a post in the thread really.
- You can do multiple entries per category, but only the first one will score points.
- no eliminations, do your stuff as and when you can
- leads can be layer, melodies, you can chop and rearrange the track, whatever floats your boat really
- Don't be a dick to other people. You can go to ss.org for that.
- Don't steal other peoples songs
- Don't steal backing tracks or pass it off as your own, give credit where it's due if you want to share your awesome yngwie malmsteen unleash the fjokking fjury face melting solo.

LAW Track(s):

[Nick]

I was in control of nothing last week, especially not my alcohol intake...

Comeback incoming!

[Nick]

been wanting to do the post rock/metal thing for ages as cult of luna are one of my favourite bands. Saw some guy advertising recently as a drummer for that sort of thing so got in touch. obviously cant do anything as currently in full lockdown but started on some ideas and got some good stuff already (IMO) First 3 mins of the second song needs work structure and riffs wise but it flows well after that. Just demos so tones and mix etc is shite on both of them.

[scole]

I'm in as well. Tried adding some 80s keyboard textures like Autograph did..
