This Round Is Done!

We're going to do this one a little differently. I was trying to figure out how to pull it off so we'll just keep it loose and see how it turns out.

What we want to do is make a "perpetual guitar duel". The theme will be Caleb battling the Wizard Zed in a blues style. Imagine Caleb has entered the Wizard's chambers and killed nearly everyone in his path. Now him and Zed fight to the death.

What we're shooting for here is a good consistent set of "clips" taken from a guitar duel you create. I'll then piece them all together after the round and do one really long guitar duel.

To make it work we need to do a bit more editing on the submission than before. Here's how you'll do it:

• The song form will be Intro:Verse:12-Bar-Duels*4:Pre-Chorus:Ending
• Put the BPM at 140 and use a drum track that's consistent.
• Each section is 4 bars long, but each of the 4 "Duel" sections is a regular 12 bar blues. That means you'll play for a full 12 bar blues progression four times, once for each character.
• Use the standard blues changes: G:G:G:G|C:C:G:G|D:C:G:D
• Major or minor blues, either way, and you can mix them or add a few non-blues tones for effect.
• We'll do it in the key of G so we can also get crazy with open tunings.
• Record your song like normal, but make the cuts between sections clear.
• Finally, when you submit, send in the whole song, but also attach your lead track as a separate track.
• Extra points if you can carve your lead track into the above sections for easier combination.

The goal is to have 4 decent takes of a Duel section, and then some surrounding parts. I'll take the best leads and sections and then combine them into one monster song.

And now for the fun part: It's choose your own adventure. You get to decide in your duels and your song whether the Wizard or Caleb wins. Whoever has the most compelling reason why it should be one or the other will decide what the ending of the story is like.
