3pts to @Dainty

5 points @poopot - loved this take on the song, moody and powerful, great guitar parts and vocals as well!
3 points @stratman3142 - perfect instrumental, I always love hearing slide guitar done well because I am not very good at it. Epic solo section as well.
1 points @Bezzer - I think may have heard this song before, but had to go and listen to the original and check. Still not sure if I have but I liked your heavy take on it! Also, awesome video; if anyone hasn't seen it yet, check it out: https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/209628/a-little-video#latest
3 pts - @Bezzer Another cracker - an amazing cover of one of my favourite tunes.
1 pt @Dainty ;Could be any of the others, but I chose this as I'm a hendrix fiend! Interesting take on a classic!
5 points - @poopot ... this was a no brainer for me; it sounds amazing, brilliant vocals, really evocative guitar. Whole vibe took me back to the early ninties Alt Rock / Neo Psych I was drinking in at the time. Just ace.
3 points - @IMC1980 ... again, this just did something to me. I think I'm a bit emotional lately so it's not difficult to hit certain triggers, but didn't "hit it" you smashed it with a f***ing lump hammer! I can't critique it, I just love it.
1 point - @Dainty ... this is a sound one, that lead guitar sound just enveloped my ears and whispered really dirty things in them. It's got the vibe of Santana does Hendrix and the vocals are so good.
@stratman3142 it was so close, you're track was absolutely cracking as well. I think I'm just atuned more to vocal tracks today and it's as simple as that. The slide playing was fab.
Oh and @IMC1980, thank you for the video plug!
3 points : @IMC1980 : Great powerful vocals. Good acoustic track.
1 point @Bezzer : Fantastic cover
3 points @poopot - reminded me of Richard Hawley's "Standing at the Sky's Edge", which is a Good Thing.
1 point @stratman3142 - tightly arranged and played, very slick.
5pts - Bezzer
3pts - Poopot
1pt - Dainty

some great versions there @Bezzer ’s reimagined Synthpop classic is one of the best things I’ve heard in these challenges, absolutely loved the vocals !
