This is the 85th solo of the Month (SotM) Challenge.
The challenge is now open and ends at midnight 24th August 2022.
You can download backing track from Soundcloud below:
https://soundcloud.com/thefretboard/sotm85-digitalkettle-its-a-wrap-mr-black?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing 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.
Title: It's a wrap, Mr Black
Tempo: 121 bpm
Structure:
| C/E F G | Am | x 4
| G | F | x 4
| C/E F G | Am | x 4
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.
As people submit their entries, I'll post them below to hopefully promote some discussion on approaches used for the solo:

Shame I've gone and ruined it by recording and sending a solo
FWIW I have on idea of the backing track was based around a particular track so I just went with what came to me. Decided I might as well try some solos even though it's not usually my thing. Can't wait to hear what the rest of you do with this
I had to have a bit of a chat with @digitalkettle about timing, I ended up counting this in a mishmash of 3/4 and 4/4, which I think actually had quite a pleasing result. I've resisted listening to anyone else's as yet, I'm looking forward to hearing how everyone else navigated the time signature.
I didn't even think of the time signature and just crudely ploughed through it as if it's in 4/4 Perhaps I missed a subtlety somewhere
