It's been months since I've done a SOTM.  Back in the saddle!  ...

I'm thinking of a swing style backing track for the next SotM, inspired by the thread below. Or does anyone have any other suggestions?

Yep well up for that. 

I'm holding off this month for a few days waiting for a new pedal to arrive and provide inspiration

Like a bit of swing I do

Bellycaster

Any excuse for swinging, I'm in!

I'll wait until I hear it before I throw my keys in

Well. I was going to have a little go at this..until I heard the entries so far! I've quietly hung my guitar back on the wall and gone back to looking at pedals I don't need!
I have a long way to go!

Go for it. It's personality and imagination that sometimes win the day. With my own entries it often surprises me what captures the votes.

Don't be shy,  have a crack.  All entries are welcomed. 

mudslide73

Very much so. A few days left to get something in too. 

stratman3142

3 days to go. 5 entries so far.

New pedal arriving today. Intending to use that as either my crutch or excuse. So far I got nothing but will try even if it is to bump up the numbers.

Entry closes tomorrow at midnight.

Right. It's 'Dog ate my homework' time.

I feel quite bad about this - despite this being my suggestion, I'm not going to get anything in.

Without going into all the whingeing details, it's been an unusually busy month. Not all bad, have quit one band and started two others...but that has meant my spare time has been getting up to speed on that. Was going to bang something out at lunch, but my broadband has conked out so not at home. Excuses, excuses....

@stratman3142 sorry for the poor form and thanks for taking the trouble to make a great backing track.
Enjoying listening to the entries.

On the plus side, you have all been spared my poor man's Syd Barrett impersonations.

No big deal. I'm glad for your suggestion.

Entry closes tonight at midnight. @soma1975 ; no problem if you don't get time either, but a quick reminder just in case you want to enter.

Sadly my stupid son is off nursery with  a fever so no chance today. Apologies because while I had nothing except one lick I loved this challenge. 

There's a couple of entries that sound like this is all they play day in day out. Amazing.
