I recorded a quick track with some of your faves:
1. with the latter two part riff from Cruisemates first post,
2. Strummer07's Am lick.
3. Wildwoods intro as ending, Timing is a bit off, but didn't have time for 2nd take.

None are exactly and perfectly, because I just played them one each take off the paper. The rhythm is a simple D6, G7, A7 "rock around the clock rhythm" track I played on my tele today, the lead is my Alleykat Epi. Drumns from my Boss RC2, amp is Microcube on BritCombo, no effecfts or reverb.

Now that's cool weelie...

What a fun concept. Sort of like the collabs but performed by one player using some of our favorite licks!... :cool:
