    5 points @DefaultM : I like the way it builds. Good lines, nice feel and expressive playing. Do I hear the Lukather trick at 42s ?

    Hard decide between the next two. I'll go for @ChrisRG because I slightly prefer the way the ideas hang together. So it's

    Do you mean the thing where he bends up a tone and then frets the next note with the bend still held? I don't think I did that, I remember doing a thing where I slid up to say the 19th fret on the B string, held it and then fretted the 15th on the high E at the same time to get some dissonance.

    Yes that's what I meant. Whatever you did, it created a similar effect. It sounds great.

    Thanks very much. I do like to do the bend thing though! Funnily enough I do seem to use a few of his tricks, but I've never actually listened to any of his music (other than the 2 most famous Toto songs).

    5 points - @stratman3142 - Very nice playing indeed.  Loved the acoustic style and really liked the melody at the end. 

    3 points - @DefaultM - Initially I thought it started slow but actually, it was very nicely balanced and had a great build up.  Great work.

    1 point - @Bellycaster - Cool note choice and a nice melodic solo.
