    Refresh the playlist and it should be there. As expected it's excellent. You will need to edit your points (he says kissing goodbye to the point he had previously been awarded) :)

    Should be there. I can see it. I now fully expect to the relegated down one position?

    I can only see the first three entries on my iPhone. Refreshing it hasn't worked. Even on my iPad I can only see 4 unless I click on "Play in Soundcloud" rather than listening on my browser. Rather odd!

    Anyway, points:

    5 points @Bellycaster ;

    3 points @stratman3142 ;

    1 point @modellista ;

    Hard to choose between my top 2, so it's really just down to which one was the bigger "earworm" for want of a better term.

    5 Points @Rowby1 ; Wonderful, fluid and effortless, loved the tone too.

    3 Points @stratman3142 Fantastic note choices and great technique, great bit of Danny Cedrone at the end too.

    1 Point @modellista ; I liked how mellow and slidey this one was, good job.

    There's a pattern emerging for first place...

    5 points @Rowby1 - really well-composed, great balance between repetition and unexpected twists, chords and lead work
    3 points @flying_pie - I keep coming back to the lovely little ascending figure at the end
    difficult to pick the last one, they're all good, but I think @Bellycaster just edges it

    Well no surprises for 1st place

    5 points @Rowby1 ; - Outstanding. Great touch, tone, timing and phrasing. I might have asked before (and forgotten) but what are you using to create that tone (apart from your fingers, which are obviously a factor).

    3 point @Bellycaster - Nice jazzy feel with some interesting lines

    1 point @modellista - A good blues jazz approach.

    @stratman3142  Previously I’ve always used one of my amps miced up with an SM57 and my pedal board with whatever guitar I felt suited the tracks. However, the last two months entries I’ve recorded direct as a bit of an experiment.

    So this month was my (heavily modified) Strat Plus Deluxe (Oil City 55s) into an Origin Revival Drive and Strymon Flint. Then through a Mooer Radar running a Celestion IR straight into my DAW. 

    As a bit of a self confessed valve amp snob.....I’m actually very surprised and rather pleased with the results!
