This is the 46th Solo of the Month (SotM) Challenge.
The challenge is now open ends at midnight 24th March 2019.
Here's this month's backing track (you can download it from soundcloud, by clicking on the download arrow in the pane below).
Record your solo over the top of it and then submit it (ideally in mp3 format) to solos@theFB.co.uk
Also, feel free to comment on how you approached the solo, which will add a bit more interest and maybe we can learn something from each other.
Discussion: This SotM might have been inspired by a discussion on the thread at the link below
Title: Touch Wood
Tempo:102bpm
Chords:
[E7#9 / / / E7#9 / / / E7#9 / / / E7#9 / / /
B7 / C7#11 / B7 / Bb7#11 / A7 / / / B7b13 / / /] x3
End on E7#9
The backing track has some headroom to add your solos. Add your solo and (as a guideline) try to avoid boosting the overall level beyond that if possible. That way the entries should be at roughly the same level and we won't get into loudness wars.
Voting will start soon after the submission deadline, with each voter selecting their 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice.
First choice gets 5 points - Second choice gets 3 points - Third choice gets 1 point
The order and scores of the top three entries will be announced soon after the voting ends. If there are 8 or more entries, then the order and scores of those in the top half will be announced.
No prizes. It's just for fun.
It's not a competition.

We're back in our house now after several weeks staying in a flat, but still living with the builders. I hardly touched my guitar in that time, then had a gig last night and have very sore fingers.I should be able to do something soon.
Now, I recently bought myself a new laptop and haven't got Cubase or anything on it, so downloaded Reaper, added a bunch of their built-in FX and err, "composed".
Hopefully next month I'll be all set up again with my standard saturated lead tone with long & short delays, business as usual will be resumed. Lol
