I should point out that any resemblance of my solo to something else is purely intentional

5 points : @Bennyboy-UK : Juicy powerful sound, soaring over the backing. Lots of vibe. Vaguely reminiscent of Alan Murphy, which is always a winner for me.

3 points : @Bellycaster : Nice stereo effect on the guitar, melodic and a good triplet feel. A good fit to the backing

1 point : @fastonebaz : A very bold and imaginative entry.

I feel the need to point out that all the ideas were totally nicked from the original So you can change your vote if you want to.

Well, you had the idea to nick someone else's idea, that's still an idea  ;-)

 @Bennyboy-UK ;;
 @flying_pie ;

Also @susbemol, as it's his backing track, or would he prefer to donate his vote to TFF ?

5 points @Bellycaster - for me the best fit to the backing (excluding @stratman3142 that is whose attempt fitted so perfectly I had to leave it out)

3 points @fastonebaz - barking mad but super creative

1 point @Bennyboy-UK - some tasty lines in amongst the whammy bar madness 

Bennyboy-UK

Here we go:

5 pts @stratman3142 - I really enjoyed the pastiche and robbery - tones and style were spot on - very worthy tribute to the original:)

3 pts @fastonebaz I couldn’t ignore this one it’s bloody inhinged and all the more enjoyable for it. You have very competent legato technique and timing metered perfectly for everything you played. Whammy nonsense was great!

1 pt I couldn’t split you @flying_pie and @Bellycaster. Super solid playing over the backing I felt they were both pretty similar in feel and composition to each other.  

So I flipped a coin. And it’s @flying_pie for 1pt.

Great stuff chaps - can’t believe you bang in entries every month!!!

Bellycaster

5 Points @flying_pie - Great atmospheric and airy tone. I think the approach best fitted the "Pop" nature of the track.

3 Points @Bennyboy-UK - Slightly more rocky approach with some great licks, cool tone.

1 Point @fastonebaz - This has to be included for the outright outlandishness. Loved the engine rev vibe going on at the end.

Don't know about @stratman3142 , that solo would never have made the record
