This is the 94th solo of the Month (SotM) Challenge.
Following on from last month's hair metal, here's another backing track track from flying_pie, with a different (punchy 60s garage rock) flavour. Given the current Ed Sheeran lawsuit, dare I say that it has a somewhat familiar flavour
You can download the backing track from Soundcloud 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.
There should be headroom to record your solo. Try to set a level without excessive 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.
As people submit their entries, I'll post them below to hopefully promote some discussion on approaches used for the solo:

Then sent another one in....
My proper one is a different style for me. V clean and focused on the melody.
Then I thought to myself, hmm, what would the "real me" play and out popped a totally different version, normal service is restored
Anyway, feel free to ignore one if they both get posted
@flying_pie the backing track was so pro mixed it sounded like a Hollywood movie backing track. Excellent skills there wish I cld get mine like that.
Another second entry has been sent. Clearly this is tongue firmly in cheek but I couldn't resist it
And the flood gates have opened Your second entry is in the playlist.
At the moment I'm looking for:
* Hamer Watson, SS2, Vintage S, T62.
* Music Man Luke 1, Luke II
Please drop me a message.
Now I'm thinking that for this month 3 solos is the magic number.....
