5pts @stratman3142 ; felt like this one really got into the groove and was most natural along with the backing 
3pts @Bellycaster some really good phrasing in here, just pipped at the post
1pt @DigitalDave loved the smoothness and thickness of the tone but was left craving a big shred section  ala Vai

@DigitalDave: Soaring melodic guitar. I really like the motif. There's a bit of a Carlos Rios (Gino Vanelli) vibe to it.

@Bellycaster: Bluesy funk. Interesting lines and some nice edgy notes

@fastonebaz: Certainly brave, imaginative and off-the-wall. Music for a psychedelic interlude in a dodgy 70s film

DigitalDave

enjoyed all the solos

5 point @stratman3142 that fat sound and the notes / phrasing nailed it
3 points @Bellycaster made the changes great and fit extremely well with the backing 
1 points  @fastonebaz I'd say joint second but I can't, loved the curve ball approach

After a flying start I was hoping we'd get a bumper crop this month, but hey ho!

5 Points - @DigitalDave - Love the tone and sustain here, flowed nicely and went in some interesting melodic direction.

3 Points - @stratman3142 - Liked the jazzy feel, full tone and the usage of double stops and single string lines. Definitely Groovy.

1 Point - @fastonebaz - Nice one for going for something different. Underwater, mind altering Jazz. It should have been "Scuba Manoeuvre"
