Hello A.M. members,
For the September challenge I am posting a song I recorded about a year ago. ” Wicked Game” by Chris Isaac.
I believe it is characterized by its haunting, brooding and melancholy sound. I looped the beginning intro. Then play the lead with a flat pic using the minor pentatonic scale progression .
Thank you for listening. See if you agree with my description of this song..Don P.

Hi Mike,
If I remember correctly I used a little reverb and chorus on my Fishman loudbox mini amp.
My peddle board has a Fishman platinum pre amp and the the ditto looper was used.
Strings on my guitar are 10 ga. Dr strings.Don P

Great playing, but the whole idea of the challenges is put something new out there to challenge yourself. Your not the only one to do this, but I kind of dislike the idea of posting old video’s in the challenge. Now if you play the same song over again, that’s fine, but reposting an old video doesn’t qualify in my opinion. Read the rules for the challenge again.

Michael Krailo,
Interesting that you picked me to give your opinion on how the challenge is supposed to be and that I don’t qualify.
I have reviewed several A.M. members post this morning and many or most have been from previous past dates. Examples:
John ( charjo ) forum moderator, Manfred, others post of a gig they performed etc.
If growth is shown, why are you complaining?
I read the rules and no where does it state you cannot use a past video…I do not appreciate your comments.Don P

I read the rules and no where does it state you cannot use a past video…I do not appreciate your comments.I’ll discuss it with John. What if everyone posted old video’s for the monthly challenge? I mean no disrespect or to single you out. I just thought it was obvious that it’s no longer a monthly challenge if the video is from the past. I know we are pretty laid back and overly positive with commenting, but some things just need to be addressed. Again, don’t take this the wrong way.

Don I love that song and you and your GS mini did it justice.
I understand the point Michael is making but sometimes life gets in the way,
and press by time.
I did that myself a few times.
Once I was down with covid and I couldn’t make it.
So I used a past video, just wanted to make sure I was still participating.AndréM

I’m guessing that my point will end up falling on deaf ears. I honestly never noticed it in the past, but it doesn’t seem right to participate in a challenge with past recordings. If life gets in the way, then what’s wrong with simply not participating? There is no harm in not participating, is there? Maybe I’m missing something, I just don’t get it.

Of course we are supposed to come up with something new for the challenge every month, Michael. But what harm is done when someone posts a previous work? The challenge is definitely not in danger of becoming a repost event. It is no competition, there is nothing to win and I see all the posts as something that is offered to me for my learning and entertainment.
Don has contributed many original submissions over the years, his guitar playing has improved tremendously during his participation in the challenge, now he posted something old – so what. I enjoyed watching. If there still was the challenge champion- t-shirt, perhaps this post would not have counted, but you can think of it as a joker, if you must.Sorry for discussing this in your post, Don.

Nice playing Don, good use of the looper.
But you have to follow the rules.“ if you don’t eat your meat, you can’t have any pudding!
How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat?”-

Don, thanks for sharing. I would not have seen this acoustic guitar version of one of my favourite songs otherwise. Great work in imitating Chris fantastic voice with acoustic lead playing! 👍🏽 it would have been much easier using an electric guitar, but anyone can do that. 😎 so, very well done.

This is really an emotional song, Don, and I like it a lot. And you’ve come up with a very beautiful version of your own here, which really conveys a lot of that emotion.
And by the way: Reposting is better than not posting at all.
I’m glad to see everyone taking part in the challenges.Take the chance to meet your AM friends on Zoom.
The next Meetup will take place on October 31For more information click here
I look forward to meet you.

I already apologized to him for waking up on the wrong side of the bed today in a PM. There is no harm in posting whatever you want. I’ll try not to be so serious next time. 🙂 Peace, love and happieness.
