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.
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.
Comments
I went for some Tremolo, some panned imaginary sax duets and squeezed in the James Bond chord for good measure.
Usually I detest all forms of ska but this was surprisingly fun to jam along to once I'd worked out a few notes in a scale.
Also, I tried to download previous SotM106 and SotM105 (as a check) and the download button doesn't work for those either, whereas it obviously worked previously.
Maybe it's a problem with Soundcloud. I'll check again tomorrow.

@fastonebaz could you test if you can download the backing track from the link above?It might be a Soundcloud issue, but I wondered if it's possible to check whether it might relate to this site.
