    A fine crop of solo's , enjoyed them all:

    5pts - @digitalkettle - playing fits so well with the swells and call and response melodies
    3pts - @fastonebaz - top class harmonies and melody, cranked to 11
    1pt -   @maharg101 - loved the slide work and how the sound blended so nice with the backing

    It's the Day of the Digis  :) Great work all round, but here's my top 3.

    5 Points @DigitalDave - Nice understated solo with tasty licks. Very stylish playing.

    3 Points @digitalkettle - I liked the layering and delay effect, strong melodies played with flair.

    1 Point @maharg101 - I also thought the slide work was great here and even though the solo sounded more dramatic than most, it still was a good fit. Built nicely toward a end crescendo.
    And they said that in our time, all that's good will fall from grace, even Saints would turn their face, in our time.

    A bit of understatement wins the day for this one.

    5 points : @digitalkettle : Best fit to the backing. The beginning had shades of the Jay Graydon solo on Peg. Nice layers and textures. Good melodies and phrases.

    3 points : @DigitalDave : I wasn't sure of the beginning, but then it got going. Slots in nicely with the backing

    1 point : @maharg101 : Nice use of slide giving a different take on things.

    v nice beginning
    lovely delay setting
    2nd section was such an ear worm, I kept humming it after - it was like the theme tune to a police crime drama TV show

    such a nice tone
    Splendid micro tone bends
    Loved the ending lick

    1pts @maharg101 ;arg101
    Cool idea to use slide, i've never slid before.  Great chops

    Sorry to the rest of you. All great solos

    I've got a backing track from @fastonebaz ;for the next one.

    Does anyone fancy submitting one for the month after that? Otherwise I'll inflict one of mine on everyone (now there's a threat )

    @stratman3142 I will create more one day but right now I'm snowed under with DIY so none more from me for a while I'm afraid.

    I appreciate the numerous ones you've sent so far. You deserve a break. Although I think I'd rather make backing tracks than do DIY :)

    I've got loads of DIY coming up, but the upside is that I will have a new recording area once it's all done, so should be able to do more backing tracks too

    No rush. It's not needed until the end of March.
