This is the 66th solo of the Month (SotM) Challenge.
Extended for another month. The new deadline is midnight 24th January 2021
https://soundcloud.com/thefretboard/sotm66-2020-11-policecops 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.

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.
No prizes. It's just for fun.
As people submit their entries, I'll post them below to hopefully promote some discussion on approaches used for the solo:
Comments
I've corrected the tempo in the original post.
Quick off the mark as usual. That's the first entry in the playlist.
If anyone fancies providing a backing track for next month's SotM, be my guest. Otherwise I'll come up with something.
I'll try to remember for next year. Anyway Xmas is cancelled this year. Maybe we can have a late Xmas bash in the summer (all going well).
The new deadline is midnight 24th January 2021.
Sorry to hear that. Hope they're both better soon.
It's been a hard build up to Xmas for me and my family. My mother died after a long illness. It was her funeral yesterday. A very sad and emotional time but she was 89, very ill and wanted to go, so it was a release as well.
Sorry to hear that. It’s a really tough thing at anytime but at the moment it must be even worse. Thoughts are with you and your family.
