The should be headroom to record your solo. I've removed the previous proviso to avoid boosting the level. Just try to set a level without clipping without too much master limiting, because we want to avoid 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.

That makes two entries in the playlist in the original post.
I played it perfectly note for note 3 times each with a different harmony.
.
Who am i kidding, I used a harmonizer plugin!
Added to playlist. That's 3 entries.
That's 4 entries so far in the playlist.
Then remembered I don't have any guitars in standard tuning and I'll have to think while playing.
What's that? Buy another guitar? Mmmmm....

Why not just shift the pitch of the track in your DAW.
Would be good to get an entry with a hammond organ solo on it
