5 pts: @digitalkettle especially for the creative reharm but also the super tasteful playing, as always.
3 pts: @Bellycaster -lots of energy and a very good fit for the track
1 pt: @stratman3142 - another good fit for the track, interesting legato runs

Good work on this! There seemed to be a bit of a Gilmore vibe in most entries at one point or another which I thought was interesting.

5 points : @susbemol : Very interesting 'off the wall' lines and phrasing. Quite 'Steve Vai'. Different to your usual jazzy style. Highly creative.

3 points : @digitalkettle : Very musical and expressive. Great tone and phrasing.

1 point : @fastonebaz : Mad, wild, shreddy. Quite barmy , but very interesting and creative.

5pts @susbemol superb.   Juicy tone, v creative lovely licks, agreed very Vai esque.  Excellent. 

3pts @digitalkettle I felt the major (I think) mode of the intro clashed a bit with the minor mode of the rhythm but it was so cleanly played throughout , very inventive and splendidly crafted,  instant sit up and pay attention track.

1pt @stratman3142 that tone man I love it,  I wonder if its more an ibanez thing or helix thing or just in the fingers.   Very tasty playing.

5 Points @susbemol - As others have said, very Creative and shades of Steve Vai in there. Very impressive playing.

3 Points @digitalkettle - Very tasteful, nice switch of Guitar tone and technique near the start.

1 Point @stratman3142 - Another nicely understated entry but with some very nifty technique.
