Guitarist Collective - (APRIL: 2007 Task)  
So, after only 3 months they make ME the taskmaster for this month! is this an April Fool ? - well seemingly it isn't, so here's the task - play anything you want but only in an odd time signature 3, 5 7 9 11 etc - song/tune has to be original - no covers and defo no 4/4

Guitarist Collective - (MAY :  2007 Task)                                                             
The task this month was to do something "acoustic" and to make it "summery" in its feel. Now, this presented me with a problem as i have NEVER recorded anything acoustic before! (surprisingly!).                                                                               
What I decided on was a tune that I have played since I was about 14 years old, when I wrote it! but never recorded it!. I used to play this whenever there was an acoustic lying around in someones house, as I never really had a decent acoustic guitar. this tune used to cheer me up when I was suffering the dreaded teenage blues, so hopefully I meet this months task rules.

Guitarist Collective - (JUNE : 2007 Task)                                                              
The main riff or main part of the melody this month MUST be played on a SINGLE STRING! - rest of the song/tune can be played normally....                               
I have "written" my tune and a nice jolly tune it is, definitely a "different" style,           however I now have to record it and figure out what the rest of the instrumentation should be............ (pause for a few days.... & voila!) (melody on b string)

Guitarist Collective - (OCTOBER : 2007 Task)                                                           
(septembers task was my "impression" of Dweezil Zappa.......)   
                                                                                                                                     
October task was to record a tune with just a guitar, no backing, no overdubs, no multi-  tracking........ so, those of you who bought my 1st CD "struggle to tell" will recognise that the track "Heavenvator Muzak" is essentially what I have re-produced here tonight!,       except, I recorded it in 1 take, warts n all (oliver cromwell like) via my cheapo Stagg Strat copy (made in China and retails at £100!), plugged into Boss GT3 on factory setting called JC120 and that's that!
