    As always, some excellent playing!

    5 points @Rowby1 - caught my ear the most, loved the energy.
    3 points @fastonebaz - the most melodic, reminded me of "Jessica"
    1 point @Modellista - great structure & execution

    ... although there is a part of me that thinks these are all far too technically accomplished to be "punk"! :-)

  • Some great stuff again this month. Super enjoyable.

    5 points @Modellista - What I would have liked to have done - tidy, concise and well structured.
    3 points @Rowby1 - Great flow and energy getting faster and faster (like a proper solo should). Great structure.
    1 points @fastonebaz - some lovely lines, intertwining. Very nice. Loved the panning too.

    I honestly liked all of them and could have given points to all of you for different reasons.

    @Modellista - there's no tapping in mine at all :) The big intervals lick is my version of an open string idea I saw on a Rick Graham video (absolutely butchered be me in comparison though).

  • 5 points @stratman3142 ; so tightly played and precisely composed,  each note was deliberate and as important of the preceding note,  no,  more important
    3 points @Rowby1 great tone and there was a nice descending chord progression in the middle that captured my fancy
    1 points @Modellista nice tone again.

  • All great entries and, as usual, hard to choose.

    5 points @Bellycaster : The right balance of melody, madness and punkiness for me. 
    3 points @fastonebaz :  Very inventive and melodic. Possibly a bit too clever and 'Steve Vai' to be punk.
    1 point @Rowby1 : Loads of energy and attitude

    It's not a competition.

  • Great solos all round.  For me I'm judging this based on the amount of punk

    5 points @Bellycaster - the most punk for me by far
    3 points @Rowby1 - energetic and melodic but still punk enough 
    1 point @stratman - melodic but still punk 

    Honorable mention to @fastonebaz for great harmony and call/response but the legato shred depleted the punk meter too much to score

  • 5 points @Rowby1 That was so Punk it actually spat at me :)

    3 Points @markv - Punk a Wah La

    1 Point @Modellista - Loved that gritty tone and attitude

    Well done all round and well done for working the Circus tune into the solo @stratman3142 , genius.
