    5points @DulcetJones  - it just fits the backing track perfectly - can picture comedy cowboy riding into town to this!...
    3points @Bezzer  - just because of the pedal!!!!
    1point @flying_pie - love the backwards tracking.

    Well done to everyone tho’. Not sure about everyone else but I was way out of my comfort zone with this one!

    5 points @flying_pie - great sound, great use of backwards playing (gotta love a bit of heavy phase) and I like the contrast against the second section too.
    3 points @stratman3142 - smooth blues, so laid back. Niiiiice.
    1 point @Bezzer - once you get past the (very enjoyable) comedy aspect of this, I think it still stands up in context. Kept coming back to it, which is a good sign.

    Difficult choice. Great playing all round with everything from blues to atmospheric. And even a Korg Miku Stomp.

    5 points @DulcetJones - great melody which really fitted the track
    3 points @markv ;; - not just a solo but a whole concept. Loved the creativity 
    1 point @stratman3142 - nice bluesy feel and great use of the Dm/F bits

    5 Points -   @flying_pie  Love the way the backward track fit in, and how the mood continued for the rest.

       3 Points -    @stratman3142   Great tone and feel.

        1 Point -    Bellycaster   Very melodic.

        An honorable mention to     @Bezzer   for trying to make a freaky pedal work ,  and kind of succeeding.

    Good range of solos, but the smoother silky ones won favour with me on this one.

    Lots of good and varied solos. Hard to choose as they each have their own merits.

    5 points @Bezzer : mainly because humour always deserves extra points. And there are some good melodies in there.
    3 points @Bellycaster : nice melodic ideas
    1 point @mudslide73 : a good atmospheric approach

    It's not a competition.
