    Mine's sent - a quick run through last from night... be gentle :) A very lovely track to play over @rowby1 . I'd be very interested to hear the rest of it.

    @mudslide73 Thanks, glad you like it! It's a few years ago since I recorded that track. When the competition is all done I'll send you the full thing if you want.

    Thought I'd throw my hat into the ring too. I agree, it's a nice backing track.

    I found some time to lay down some nylon string licks.  Nice track, I had to go outside of my "spooky" comfort zone and play "nice".

    Trying to submit mine atm, but for some reason my emails are getting bounced back to me?

    That's a bug they can't seem to sort out, the emails do in fact get through.  Ain't the interweb fun.

    Not a fan of fade ins or fade outs... never sure where to start or end.

    Yes, sorry about that but it's an excerpt from a full song so quite hard to just crop a start and finish without it sounding odd.

    With hindsight I could have left the vocals in to make it a bit more obvious I suppose.

    Sorry, just me being grumpy. 

    The track is a nice one. Took me a while to get a tone I was happy with to put with it. 
    Is there a solo you already wrote to go over this? If so, once the vote is done, maybe you could share it? Always interesting to see what the writer did.

    @Teetonetal no probs :) Yes it's a full song complete with solo I recorded a few years ago. If people are interested I'm happy to share what I did after the voting's done.

    That's another one in.  

    For those interested, this is the first recording I've done using my Oil City Nightfighters (made by @TheGuitarWeasel) in my Les Paul Standard (neck pickup).  Apologies, Ash, if this is considered an abuse of your craftsmanship :)

    Nerds: recorded in Logic X via Apogee Duet using my Kemper and The Amp Factory's Dirty Shirley profile (AF10 DS Drive6).
