A quick rule check.

been struggling to get something ready. I've been hitting a wall. I've wrote a 30 second piece, then the partner went off a wrote lyrics for the song based off the 30 seconds and now I've been making good guitar progress along the words. Is this still acceptable as a solo composition?

It's taken me all this time to notice that, in the post to introduce the competition, there's photos of 2 different guitars... one a slothead and one not...

I see from colins's latest post on the build thread that it's a slot head the lucky winner will be getting - which is rather ace.

Phil Taylor - New Day was easily the best new solo guitar instrumental piece I've heard in a fair while, Phil. Really held my interest; accessible without being predictable, really well constructed and flowed beautifully with some gorgeous inversions and as well played and recorded as ever. This really is top stuff! :clap:

Phil Taylor sitting on beach on Zanzibar coming to the end of that holiday I mentioned earlier (hence the need to get my own entry in early before I left!). Beautiful piece full of atmosphereand matches the view I'm looking at - first chance I've had to check internet since I left - seems like there's been some good stuff happening!

Golly Phil! :notworthy:

Your beautiful playing on "New Day" has really shown us clearly how good your composition is.

There's such rich textures in there and wonderful delicacy of sound and tone. :excited:

It's hearing playing like this that I find is so inspiring for me while at the same time giving me a real dose of reality as to how much I have to learn and improve!

Another question.
As this is - generally speaking- an acoustic forum, what are the limitations on editing the acoustic original ? Is any software/hardware enhancement allowed ? The rules don't say.
The same goes for the vokes.

Now then, judges- there's a bit of soul-searching for yers

Lend me your ears.

Personally I'm not a fan of 'enhancement' in any way, I always recorded my stuff flat, with no enhancements. This is a composition competition, so it is the quality of the composition that is critical, not necessarily the performance, though that should of course be competent. If I were entering I'd keep it simple, write it, record it, post it.
