3 pts @digitalkettle same as above, but a personal preference for above
1 pt @fastonebaz , I liked how it turned the backing in something completely else. To be honest/honoust, my first thought was; where did the backing go?
3 pts @susbemol ....niiiice
1 pts @IvanMc angular and metallic
5 pts @susbemol - great melodic solo over the harmony, bang on time feel and sweet tone. amazeballs
3 pts @
1 pt @Bellycaster
Lovely backing track @bellycaster
What no silver medal?
3 pts : @susbemol : Very hard to choose between this and my 1st choice - an excellent solo and equally great. I think it just boils down to a slight style preference for the rockier side of things. Superb solo, tone and execution in a jazz style.
1 pt : @DrHungry : I really like the ideas and execution. The compressor is a bit too clicky for my taste but, otherwise, a great clean tone.
3pts: @DrHungry - I liked how you approached it quite rhythmically. Also interesting how our entries had a couple of similar ideas. I promise I hadn't listened to anyone's entry beforehand though!
3pts: @IvanMC - Lovely fluidity in some of the lines.
3pts @susbemol - definitely more my style and really hard to put in second place as I loved it but I think digi's just nicked it
1pt @IvanMC - ridiculous timing and fluidity
Only joking - here we go
5 points @digitalkettle
3 points @susbemol
1 point @IvanMC
These were all just great throughout - properly great playing by obviously very very accomplished players.
Taste, technique and tone in spades by all three players.
Aspirational stuff chaps!
At the moment I'm looking for:
* Hamer Watson, SS2, Vintage S, T62.
* Music Man Luke 1, Luke II
Please drop me a message.
3 points: @IvanMC - maybe (I said maybe) the most eccentric entry...some cool idiosyncratic bits...the crazy slide out in the closing bars raised a chuckle too
1 point: @DrHungry - another entry on the jazzier side...could've done with being just a little more mellow...some great melodic stuff...very thoughtful
Fairly challenging backing track...brought out good ideas from everyone.
3pts @digitalkettle immensely inspired and must've taken ages with the various patches and passages overlaid. I love the feedbacker especially. Well played.
1pt @DrHungry I was impressed, a very clean tone and varied attack and kept my attention throughout. Nicely done.
I really love @stratman3142 tone it's so juicy and slippery.
3 pts - @susbemol - this was so close with the above - I just had to go with my slight individual preference style-wise I'm afraid. Great, great playing and the thing I loved the most was the sense of fun in it - and it sounded effortless. Brilliant.
1 pt - @stratman3142 - always consistently very good indeed; lovely tone and phrasing, just had the misfortune to be in contention with the above 2 entries which'd be hard for anyone to beat!

The ampsim is Archetype Cory Wong (Neural DSP) which I got during a recent sale. The settings are just a slightly tweaked version of the 'Meditation Guitar Solo' Preset.
The guitar is my Ibanez AZ2204. I got an AZ2402 followed by an AZ2204 based on a recommendation from @Vibetronic a while back.

3 points to @digitalkettle - loved the solo. Conscientious work involved, which I find as amazing as spontaneity. Brought me back to the 90s. Chocolate mousse for the ears.
1 pt to @Bennyboy-UK - great tone. A great start, wildly romantic, as it were. Made me think of the end of a great movie.
3 Points @susbemol - Channelling George Benson, excellent jazzy phrases, super smooth playing.
1 Point @DrHungry - Another Jazzy one with so much versatility squeezed in.
3 points - @digitalkettle I was too effusive with my praise last month to give you full points this time I'm afraid. Plus you've ignited GAS for Freqout that I can't afford. Cracking solo though!
1 point - @stratman3142 Great tone and a lovely jaunty melody that fitted the backing just nicely.
