The
idea is that we give you a new backing track to solo over every month,
the backing track will be a maximum of 1.5mins long and you will have to
download the track from soundcloud and record your solo over the top of
it and then submit it to us.
The challenge is now open, and remains open for submissions until 24th June.
All you have to do is ...
- Download the backing track and record you solo over the top of it.
- Challenge opens on the 1st of every month, and closes on the 24th of the month.
- Voting opens on the 25th of the month, and closes on the last day of the month, when the winner will be announced.
Here is this months backing track (you can download it from soundcloud)
Specs: Pop Ballad C Major

I've got something recorded. If I'm still happy with it in the morning I send it over.
I will try and sort out the mp3 codec though as it's got to be easier for everyone.
Email sent.
Had a go at this, it came off as eternal hard rock ramblings and all my bends were sharp as I haven't played in a while, so may give it a miss
I've concluded that I drink way too much caffeine and inhale too much nicotine to have any control over a tasteful major solo anyway.
Also really hard to get the guitar to sound part of the track. I'm using headphones and Audacity this time, but still the inbuilt laptop mic. It's cleaner but sounds very disjointed together. I think laptop only has one headphone input.
Would a splitter for a mic and headphones work?
Similarly I'll wait to see if they are spotted. They're glaringly obvious to me but I know they're there.
