(Im glad people are diggin the idea of the thread @pbelgium and @MistaG - i got a good feeling about this one’s potential)

Thanks @Gravitas and @yellow_eyez ,

Gravitas,

I use Riffler for rhythm guitar.
As far as the virtual leads on Darkness Within I used AudioLayer with this bare bones guitar instrument I made for it.

Using ChordJam and Aphelian both running into AudioLayer and setting the instrument to monophonic to get those weird wide pitch bends and then occasionally dropping ChordJam and changing the settings on Aphelian. ZOA is also good for making interesting solos with that AudioLayer instrument, especially if you send multiple lanes to it at the same time.

I was thinking of doing

BACKING TRACK BATTLES

Every round another guitarist will pick a backing track.

I am not sure whether the backing track should be just drums, drums and bass or, drums bass and guitar? The only issue with that I can see is it might be a mode or progression way outside your comfort zone and that might deter people…but if we just kept it to drums, you can make your own instrumental choices

What do you guys think? Would anyone be interested in this type of “challenge?”

First person to reply, gets first pick for the first battle round

(Otherwise post your better ideas, hmmph [lol])
