5 points @stratman3142 I loved this. Off the wall in places, great ending. Just interesting to listen too.
3 points @Rowby1 Usual high standard. Great ending. Punch at the start. Didn't win as I didn't like the tone against the track as much as stratman's
1 point @ChrisRG I love wah. Had some really nice bits in it. I want more wah solos in SOTM!
3 points @Rowby1 : It was a very close call. Great playing as usual. I just felt this dominated the backing a bit too much.
1 points @ChrisRG : Nice tasty wah licks.
@imalrightjack 3 points;
@Teetonetal 1 point;
The first two started out with similar notes which must have struck a chord with me
What scale was that? Some kind of E maj scale? Mixolydian?
Were some others in E minor pentatonic?
5 points @stratman3142 - This stood out for me as the best fit for the track. A bit quirky and well played
3 points @Teetonetal - Great playing as usual. Nice to hear a different take on the track with the slide.
1 point @Rowby1 - Really good playing. Kept up with the pace of the backing.
5 points @imalrightjack - smooth, in time and fittest the best imho. Nice tone, didn't overwhelm the backing.
3 points @mudslide73 - another great tone
1 point @ChrisRG - nice to hear a bit of wah!
3 points @ChrisRG - Sounds like Truth era Beck in places. Lovely stuff over the changes near the end. Lovely wah sound.
1 point @imalrightjack - Loads of good ideas and variation. As mentioned above super smooth and in time too.
3 - @Teetonetal - I'm a sucker for a slide!
1 - @modellista - I actually think something went a bit wrong note choice right towards the end (maybe it's just me) but the rest of it was most in tune with what my ears liked.
Well done all, I'm gonna a have a go next month and try something out of my comfort zone.
5 points: @stratman3142 - a solo as esoteric as the backing, with a variety of tones and melodic themes
3 points: @imalrightjack - just takes the top spot of the Satriani-esque efforts - plays well with the backing and some memorable phrases
1 point: @Teetonetal - perhaps the easiest listening of the bunch, and nicely executed, couldn't place it any higher because the backing track gets lost towards the end
When I first heard the track I thought it would be tough to accompany it, as always a great collection of interpretations of a tricky month.
My thoughts entirely. I knew the end was a bit, well, wrong, but didn't have time to think up a better solution. Didn't do the opening melody justice. Must leave more time next month!
3 - @ChrisRG - full marks for phrasing, allowing the track room to breathe around the playing.
1 - @modellista - enjoyed the sweet bends and neck pick-up tone.
Interesting reference to Satriani - he's somebody I've never listened to.

I think it was a combination of the tone and some bits like the slides in 0:06 to 0:09 for example straight away reminded me of Satch. How have you managed to avoid him all these years?! :-)

5 Points @ChrisRG Loved the Wah and the playing style, it fitted very well with the funkiness of the backing.
3 Points @stratman3142 Played excellently and the note choices were wonderful.
1 Point @Rowby1 Lovely tone and some nifty playing in there.
I'll have to give a thumbs up to @Teetonetal as well, I loved that and was hard to leave out. All entries are very high standard.
5 points @Teetonetal
3 points @imalrightjack

Good work by everyone though, some great tone and playing on display!
5 points .. @mudslide73
3 points .. @stratman3142
3 point .. @Rowby1
Very high standard and it took ages for me to make up my mind.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
