Here's mine:



Came about from fooling around with an F#7 chord. I think it's pretty catchy! Too bad I don't know anything at all about proper recording, tracking, or drum machines. Lol

I have a silly question mainly because I'm too lazy to read the rules more carefully, but would the first 4 frets include chords? Meaning a power chord at the 3rd fret will take the 5th over the first 4 frets. So drop tuning then?

I'm pretty sure it was strictly four frets, so chords like that are largely out. I'm debating actually entering my riff/compilation of riffs, but I had to make due without power chords and instead went with mostly single notes.
