10 guitarists play solos over the same track.

Some very tasty playing from some great players..
Who's your favourite?

Well, when I saw Joey Landreth in there I thought it’d have been him but actually it was close run for me between Rebea and Josh Smith with Joey 3rd. Some really great playing in there from all of them, although a couple (including PD) felt like they were trying to fill every second with notes, not letting any of their phrases breathe. 

Really interesting hearing so many different ideas over the same backing. He’s done few of these now and they’re always worth a watch.

In the spirit of Solo of the Month challenges, I'll vote as follows

1st : 5 points : Rabea : An elegant, very musical approach. Expressive. Understated. Most sympathetic to the backing track.

2nd : 3 points : Ross Campbell : Nice bluesy expressive feel. Some great subtleties.

3rd : 1 point : Martin Miller : Staggering technique, control and phrasing. Sounded the most technically accomplished.


But they're all fantastic,so it's just down to personal taste.

I'm very glad none of these guys participate in SOTM 

1st : 5 points : Rabea - Great feel and very sympathetic to the chords

2nd : 3 points : Ross Campbell - Some lovely resolutions and very dynamic. 

3rd : 1 point : Josh Smith - I thought he'd easily be my favourite but no.  

It feels strange not giving any points to @fastonebaz ;

Wow, Rabea totally nailed that and I thought he was primarily a downtuned metal guy !

Not when he gets a strat in his mitts!

I've only really tuned into Rabea's channel over the last couple of years...astounding player.

Good angle

Ross Campbell wasn't on my radar so that was a surprise...very tasty.

High five!

I only listened to the first two guys in their entirety and fast forwarded through the rest. Some tasty stuff, some stuff seemed over the top at times. Was it just me, or did Rabea's guitar sound like a Tele at times?

Ross Campbell does some great tuition stuff. Been following him a few years

1st:  Kfir Ochaion - big, fat LP tone with gratuitous delay.  Power chords, pinched harmonics,  Love it!

2nd: Ross Campbell - loved the Knopfler-esque volume swells and the slidey chordy part in the middle.

3rd: Mateus Asato - some wicked string bending, and bonus points for not stopping at the end!

Honourable mention: Rabea - the passage leading into the final section was exquisite.

Kfir Ochaion 
 Ross Campbell 

Im finding it difficult to choose between these two to be honest . 

Ross solo had a lot of elements in it that for me contain certain Sambora elements I can imagine it fitting in a Bon Jovi Ballad from the 80s . Kfir just sounds great on that Les Paul too & would be a great addition to any 80s power ballad .

JOINT WINNERS FOR ME  ROSS & KFIR 

sev112

I thought most of them opened up in very similar way

but all very good, even though I think I wanted to not like some.  The one I most disliked was the jazz guy which just seems like cliche clauses one after th other .

Really loved the most the lady guitarist- everyone had some tricks and some lovely sounds and dynamics etc, but she was the most original and listenable to me at least

viz

Yeah, her and Mateus for me.

For me, Ross Campbell…but it was a very close call between the ten of them.

I found it a most enjoyable video.

Ah it’s been a while since we had a shared YouTube subscription drive, will check this out. This is a different clique to the Beatto/spender/shull group.

The backing track is up if anyone wants to try their hand:

Sounds like it was rejected from the Abbey Road sessions for being too vanilla!

Julia Lange for me. She made it sound like a song.

What would be an even better way, first play through without hearing the track before, real seat of the pants instinctive playing
