Round 21 : You Write The Next Round
This Round Is Done!

This round we're going meta. Instead of telling you something to do on the guitar, I'm gonna get you to write a round, and play it as a demonstration. Here's how it will work:

  1. Think up an idea for a round. Maybe it's a genre, a specific odd key+mode mix, anything you think would be challenging but not too hard.
  2. Now, play your own round and get a good recorded submission to "beta test" it.
  3. Send it in like normal as if it's a submission.

Everyone will then rate these "proposed rounds" based on whether they'd like to play them as well as if the recorded submission is any good. We'll then take the winner and all of us will do it for the next round.

Tips On Writing A Good Round

Writing a good round is easy, and your round doesn't have to be well written since I can clean it up for you. What you should do though is make the round simple enough for someone to do in an evening, but not so easy it's boring.

If there's odd theory in your round, then include an explanation of the theory at the end.

Other than that, go crazy. Talk about effects, genres you love, things you've always wanted in a round, an idea you've had. As long as you can play it, someone else will be into it.
