Ok, I've finally got around to listening to all of 'em. Great stuff all around, but I especially liked Ninja's octave effect and licks, Sheepy's shredding, Silentmusic's tremelo and phrasing, and CW14's soulful wailing. But in the end my choice wasn't too hard actually: drf46. His was even pleasing to my wife, who while she biasly likes my playing, is no guitar afficionado by any means.

On another note, I have noticed some slight personal improvement on soloing just since we started this last month, with respect to soloing with the changes in a progression. I've found it somewhat easier to anticipate these and play in unison. So yeah, cool huh?
