Nice work as ever all.

I had great fun playing over this backing track, although sadly then no free time to get it in anything like a presentable state. A wonderful opportunity to go overboard with playing and effects, I thought

5 points @Vibetronic - loved the harmony guitars in particular
3 points @Bellycaster - had a good feel about it
1 point @poopot - loads going on!

Good stuff all round.

5 points @Vibetronic : Crazy technique and great ideas.
3 points @fastonebaz : Fat tone. Almost like an harmonica through an overdriven amp. Very bluesy.
1 point @poopot : Lots of attitude. A powerful sound, but a bit loud in relation to the backing track for my taste.

Bellycaster

Wow, some serious skilful playing here, well done everyone.

5 Points @Vibetronic - Well, what can you say about that? Apart from "You are Steve Vai and I claim my £5"

3 Points @stratman3142 - Something different with this in tonality that just worked for me, some nifty moves in there too.

1 Point @poopot - Nice tone, Melody and great sustain.

5 points @stratman3142 for the ear worm hooks 
3 points @poopot for the filthy juicy elastic tone
1 point @Vibetronic , would have been more but felt the lead was a bit low in the mix. However of what I could hear,  it sounded like the guitar was deep in the throws of an epileptic fit,  frothing and writhing around, then at 58s it was desperately clenching its legs and wincing trying to hold it together but at 1m04s suffering total leg shaking diarrhoea and vomiting.   Sounded great.

Apologies, I didn't realise we could vote in this ourselves (and I had re-read the rules again too!!). Back in a bit to do so

Ha ha ha … Vibe is back baby!  Man your playing is still ludicrous, love it … hence:

5 points @Vibetronic - lunatic
3 points @Bellycaster - groovy
1 point @poopot - tasty

Good work all

Voting ends tonight at midnight.

Quick nudge to @Vibetronic , who's the only entrant left to vote. Although, it looks like you're going to win anyway

Vibetronic

Sorry, had a bonkers week! Car broke down, gig, trying to go on holiday, then the boiler broke this morning!!!

so....

5pts - @poopot  - thought you had a great tone and it was really tasty playing!
3pts - @stratman3142 - tasty and thought out playing as ever. 
1pt - @fastonebaz - nice mix of flash and restraint...plus great tone. 

Really close to call to be honest. I liked them all and just had to go for personal preference playing/sound wise. Good work all!
