Really tricky voting as always. Some lovely playing there, I really like the surfy/rockabilly sound that's emerged this month.  After much deliberation...

5 points - @Bellycaster - particularly like the call-and-response bit at the end, and some nice open-string licks
3 points - @stratman3142 - a nicely-composed solo, reminiscent of Scotty Moore in places
1 point - @Teetonetal - really like the bouncy low note that recurs throughout, a lovely subtle solo

After a slow start, some great results this month.

Teetonetal

Too close to call between @modellista and @stratman3142 for me. I like both equally, 
So after a coin toss:

5 points @modellista - I just thought this was a great boogie rock solo, loads of fun
3 points @stratman3142 - Jazzy, a little bit of Rockabilly, interesting and very well played
1 point @markv -.Fits the track really nicely.

Some great playing as usual. There was a stand-out winner for me, but hardly anything in it for places 2 & 3. Enjoyable listening.

5 points @modellista - great licks throughout, liked the aggression in the playing and tone too, which suited the backing.
3 points @Bellycaster - I liked the overlapping guitars, worked very well in the contcext of the track and kept things interesting.
1 point @Teetonetal - quite subdued but the little riff behind the solo is very catchy.

I quickly came to the decision about first place (as soon as I heard it) but the other choices were much more difficult.

5 points @Teetonetal : This just fits and is nicely understated without trying to fight with a busy piano. It captures the mood, plus the tone and level sit well with the track.

Then it was much more tricky to decide amongst some great entries, but I'll go for
3 points @modellista : An inventive solo with tasty blues/boogie licks
1 point @Bellycaster : Interesting interwoven guitar licks/melodies

ChrisRG

Bellycaster

5 Points @modellista - Clear winner as soon as I heard it, it's got some serious balls to it
3 Points @stratman3142 - great bluesy feel, the note choice and technique both spot on.
1 Point @ChrisRG - Liked the multi-guitar approach and some tasty playing there.

I liked all the entries though, well done all.
