I think the rule on this is you're most recent take will be the one that is put in for the voting. That said you could do a new one everyday if you like. :)

Hey, I am new here, I just kind of discovered the monthly solo thing in the last newsletter that came out. This forum is excellent, and I have listened to all of the solos posted, and wow they are awesome! Amazing! :)
Here is my take. I tried to set up a soundclick page, but couldn't get it to work :confused: so I posted this to my video streaming service. Hopefully it works ok.

BTW this backing track is totally incredible, the tone is phenominal on those guitars in the backing track. I can never get my backing tracks to sound good, and it make all the difference in the world! Excellent work!

Zach - technically great, and a nice tone as well! Good job, man.
Kevhldr - welcome to GT, and nice solo, great melodies around the two-and-a-half minute mark.

Wow thats a realy cool intro!! nice use of arpeggios!! and I like the tone, I also like the way you added a lead melody under your solo nicely done!! as the song moved on I could hear a lot more confidence in your solo :cool: one of my faves this month :D

Hey thanks man! I have been working on the Arpeggio work for a few months now(since the May assignment I think). They seem to be coming along. :) I kinda held back a little at the beginning. I wanted to have something left for the end. Thanks again. :cool:

I'm way outclassed here, but hey, its all for fun isn't it :)
This is how to ruin a perfectly good backing track...

All single notes, coz 49 year old fingers ain't up to much after 3 months playing...

Eric Great Track! I however couldn't do a thing with it. Really struggled with this one and everyone else really had some Awesome takes. It will be hard to pick a winner this month.
Anyway here is my version. I did it drunk. It was the only way I would post this :) .

Thanks for the kind words. I'm truly impressed with the standard of all the takes I've listened to. I have some way to go I think!
Nick - what were you drinking - maybe I should try some!

Hey thanks dude!
I really, really like your take too, the lick at about 1:06 is my favorite part!
The tone is really nice too.
