Charlie, I think you've made your point so it's OK to give it a rest now. Your opinion is as valuable as anyone else's, and genuinely welcome. Let's just try to keep the conversation from descending into a squabble.
Thank you very much for stopping in here and saying that Dave
As we all know it takes two to Tango so I willingly cop to having a part to play in all of this .

Well...I'm not a fan of long guitar solo's, but after all the fuss on the thread I just had to listen! Nice playing, no cheap guitar shredding tricks in there, just a full on attack by an accomplished guitar player.

Since it was a "jam track" I can only comment on the guitar tone and playing. The tone was alright. The playing...well, it sounds like you're more of a clean player who's just dabbling in distortion. That's too say, there were hardly any of the hallmarks of rock guitar. Few if any bent notes, not much sliding into notes, almost no hammerons or pulloffs, no double stops, no sustained notes. There just wasn't much of the stuff that makes a great rock solo great. It was just kind of the same ladder climbing notes over and over and over.
Well, to be fair, it's more of light rock, maybe jazz fusion from what I heard and he's working the scales pretty damn good. You can tell he's really trying to put interesting combinations together instead of just idiosyncratically hammering and bending, which I much prefer from a guitar piece. The elements you mention are great too, and I enjoy them as well, but they are also handicap tools for sub par guitarists. I know because I use them extensively, ha ha.
Hello Voda La Void,
You may find this surprising , I'm also not such a big fan of long guitar solos ...
Generally , I like to keep my solo's short , sweet and somewhat to the point in the music I write and compose.
The exception of course is this type of thing where people on a guitar forum have gotten together to have a little fun and take turns at expressing themselves in their own unique individualized ways of playing over a predetermined backing track ...
This was all done in good fun at the other forum and all who have participated had a good time .
Whenever I do these types of musical clips generally as a courtesy I will start a thread here on this forum.
I cordially invite anybody who happens to feel they can do a better job playing over this track to put up what you got ...
Thank you for giving this a listen , I do appreciate you taking the time to have done so and commenting here

Kenny, I thought the guitar playing was exceptional. I'm not a huge fan of the long guitar solo either, but for a long solo, I thought it was well played.
For my tastes in the way you have it mixed, I would prefer to have the guitar a little more forward and present in the mix. It feels a little far back on the sound stage, so to speak. In my view, it is the vocal, so my ears want to hear it more prevalent.
Hi Mike ,
It was mentioned in my last post that I'm also not a big fan of long guitar solo's ..
My playing was done this way only to play by the rules all the other guitar players were following ...
Anyway ...I can't seem to win no matter what I do ....
The very next weekly track I posted here on the forum called As My Guitar Gently Speaks had been shortened to keep the guitar solos short
Now everybody is telling me the tune was way too short and they wanted to hear more
I do agree with you that I could have mixed the guitar more up front .
Thank you for saying the kind words you said about my guitar playing on this clip
