[spmartin]

Loved it! I listened to a lot of the entries using the same backing track, and you had the most original lead. Many were good, but they played like they were trying to please Chappers. Yours was full of feeling and good technique. I hope you win!

[sblight3]

If there was to be one critisiscm it would be your face is out of shot, you do enjoy playing and it shows,. in the expressions, Part of the package, of all the greats I can think of, do have this "Involvement wih their face, showing how the msic is an extension of their own voice, but thats just me being critical, you asked!!!!

[paulstenton278]

@sblight3 thanks steve. thought i'd leave my gurning off this one!! very good point though. and thanks for great comment below.

[sblight3]

As usual well balanced and beautiful tone, not sure how you manage it without sleep, smells like Kossoff?? good luck "Crazy" hope to see you again (live) soon, if any of you "Critics" get the chance, get along and catch Paul "Live" he does have a certain "Aura"!!

[asdesas]

Oozes classic LP tone! Really sweet vibrato with a great melodic vibe!

[paulstenton278]

@asdesas thank you, that's a great compliment. :)

[voodooriders]

Awesome entry dude! Great classic Les Paul tone too! :D

[paulstenton278]

@voodooriders thanks, i love the les paul tone.

[motorhead1995able]

how did u recorded it?

[paulstenton278]

@motorhead1995able backing track through loudspeakers on one side, amp on the other. to stop them fighting for the tiny camcorder microphone! spent a little time getting balances and the right volume so the camcorder didn't distort the sound. i had it pretty loud though!! hope this helps and thanks for your interest. any more questions, feel free to ask. :)

[jpdesp]

Nice playing ! I'll try to beat you :o
