TGF Do Something Challenge - Season 10 Week 4

[ᛗᛜᛜᚺDᛜᎶ Ꮤᛨᚳᚴ]

Welcome to The Gear Forum "Do Something Challenge" - Season 10 Week 4

Season X, are we going to let it be the slowest Season EVER? Let's hope not, we need to HEAR THAT GEAR people! This 10th season will run through Saturday Dec 06, 2025 for a total of 8 weeks of glorious tones. We will then break for the holidays and start up again in 2026 (where we will go to ELEVEN) ;~))

Here is a print screen of the results for Season X Week 3. You can also view the online spreadsheet with all the glorious details from this season and the previous 9 seasons here (use the tabs along the bottom to select different seasons and data sets)!

If you are not hip to what this is all about, go here and here to get the skinny and then come back to join the game! Long and short is, this is a Challenge to YOU and all other TGF members to MAKE SOME NOISE (aka Music but some may question that) and share it with our small dot in the Universe. This is intended as a motivation to create something rather than ramble on about gear that you have acquired to create something with ;~)) Nobody here is looking for or expecting masterpieces, radio quality, etc., we are just trying to encourage our community to create and share at whatever level they are currently at, it is ALL GOOD!

Great to see @megametal7 hitting the board here in Season X! But where in the world is everyone else? Step up and be heard PLAYERS!

So get on it people, original song, cover song or a wank/riff/lick/jam! Remember that with each submission, I would like you to insert a tag (that is a text string with a # sign in front of it). This helps me to count and validate the count of the submits for the Challenge. It is very simple! If you submit a Cover Song, put the following tag in your submit post - #Cover. If you submit an original song, put a #Orig tag in your post. For a wank/riff/lick/jam submission, use the #WRLJ tag. If you forget to put it into your post, simply go back and "Edit" your post by clicking on the "Edit" link in the lower left of your post and type or paste into that post the appropriate tag, it's not difficult people! Very simple very easy! If you need definition of what any of these categories are, refer to the Season 9 Introduction post for details! And as usual, Season progress and previous Season info/results can be found at this link (results are generally entered at the end of each week so don't expect your entry from last night to already be in there, it is not a real time spreadsheet)! Week 4 for this season will end on November 8, 2025 at 11:59pm HT. Week 5 will start on November 9, 2025 at 12:00 am ET (yes, I know there is some overlap - deal with it).

So getcha groove on, set all controls to 11, hit record and let us hear your creations!!!

Well, I totally missed that there was a new season! Didn't there use to be a notification or something? Or am I imagining things

I did tag you and all other past participants in the Week 2 announcement for this season in an attempt to notify folk. Unless you have notifications turned off for when you are tagged, you should have been notified of the new season via that event. Other than that, I am not aware of any previous season notifications that we had in place.

Looking forward to your contributions ;~))

Hey, glad to see the new seasons. Here's one I did, it's an interpretation of Foxy Lady by Jimi Hendrix, but is is a cover (I use that term loosely) rather than a straight forward rendition.

I also had this one to share, which I thought might be more interesting.



The Richard Z signature guitar is running into the Rectifier Recording Preamp, which I've got hooked up to a Fryette PS-2. That's plugged into a Mesa Boogie 2x12 and an Orange 2x12. Both of those cabs have Celestion V30s in them. Notably, this time around I have miced up the Mesa Boogie cab instead of the Orange 2x12 with a Sennheiser E906. A Townsend Labs Sphere is being used to capture the sound room sound.

Thanks for the contributions nightlight! Could you please edit each of them and include a tag for the type of submit. I know you indicated that the first one was a cover, but per the instructions in the first post on this page:

My offering for this week which will NOT get me on the cover of the Rolling Stone ;~))

#Cover
Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show - "The Cover Of The Rolling Stone" - Recorded November 07, 2025

​

I will be on the road next week, so no offering from me during that span, and the print screen of status will be a couple of days late (as will any corrections that need to be made to this weeks if there are any), but do not let this stop you from inundating the DSC with your submits ;~))
