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.
Comments
You can include a fade if you want to, or whatever takes your fancy
In hindsight, I think the ending was a bit abrupt, but I was trying to keep within 1min or thereabouts.
Mastering has been approved by my children with the helpful comment of "there's a lot of guitar in that"
Brought to you by gain, delay and reverb with usual guitar and amp
The title refers to my need to practice more lead, especially above the 17th fret, as my fingertips hurt from all the bends
And thanks @fastonebaz for a cracking track
