This is the 49th solo of the Month (SotM) Challenge.
The challenge is now open ends at midnight 23rd June 2019.
Here's this month's backing track (you can download it from soundcloud).
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.
Discussion: A summery laid back track
Title: Chilled
Tempo: 96
Chords:
[Em(add2) Em(add2) Bm(add2) Am(add2)] x 3
End on: Em(add2)
The backing track has some headroom to add your solos. Add your solo and (as a guideline) try to avoid boosting the overall level beyond that if possible. That way the entries should be at roughly the same level and we won't get into 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. If there are 8 or more entries, then the order and scores of those in the top half will be announced.
No prizes. It's just for fun.
It's not a competition.

Good to get a new entrant. The file is OK and in the playlist.
Entry closes tonight at midnight.
Just got a Helix LT. It's a complicated little bugger but hopefully my guitar tones will get better as I get used to it!
