This is my entry video for the RGF Guitar Contest that Rudy Ayoub’s channel is having with GF Guitars.

I wanted to enter myself to encourage others to try their hand at it as well. If you’re not familiar with Rudy’s work, his channel is full of guitar memes as well as skillful playing that blew up about 6 months ago when he won samurai guitarist’s unfinished song contest. Rudy’s version is sponsored by GF Guitars, so you have the chance to win this one. All you have to do is write a 16 second riff over the provided drum track that can be found in the description of the announcement video and then upload it to YouTube with the title, RGF Guitar Contest.
The beauty behind a riff contest versus the original solo competition idea is that it doesn’t take crazy guitar skills to write a killer riff. In fact, some of the most memorable riffs ever written are easy to play, but sound terrific.
I took a Paul Gilbert approach to writing mine and simply mapped out exactly what I first heard in my head. Low and behold, that riff was actually above my skill level and it took me a good two days to get it down and the end result was like a blend between Slipknot’s psychosocial and White Snakes Still of the Night. I just love looking at all the different entries and admiring how each person can create something so unique based on the same drum track. So please enter the contest and leave your links in the comments section below as I want to see them too! Good luck!
For Today’s review we are looking at the Gibson SGJ. There was also an LPJ made but these are basically the fakest looking real Gibson guitars out there with goofily large Gibson logos. There are actually vast differences between the 2013 and 2014 runs of these instruments. I was pleasantly surprised by this guitar, but it has had many upgrades such as Seymour Duncan Invader pickups which match its ‘metal’ grunge vibe.
