You've set us a difficult task there ElMano!

If I was forced to pick one I think it would probably be v6, although if the guitar was a bit higher in the mix I suspect I might have picked v5. Just to add to confusion if I was just judging on the second half of each of them v3 would have a good chance. I do feel v6 for me had a better mesh with the backing track, but all three have good musical ideas.

I remember the A Minor Affair BT. Back in February in the blues Room and on Soundclick this Viking go at it appeared:-

It still for me has a mournful sound - we were all in shock on the forum here at the time at the loss of our friend Mac and I could only play sad. I still find it difficult to listen to this piece. Damn and hell - the world is far too cruel.

Hey El Mano,

I guess I would go for V6, for two reasons. The is more of a musical story in there and you are playing more certain. At least for me it feels that way.
VB is right, try to get the guitar a little more up front in the mix, the backing track and the V6 lines you play are asking for a more prominent presence of the lead guitar.
Still a fine job :)

First of all i want to thank you both for your comments. It helps me a lot to develop my playing and how to judge the results. I think after a couple of runs you become a bit deaf for your mistakes and in special for the presence of the guitar sound. Sometimes i think it is to loud or to soft, maybe a little more bite or distortion and so on. So if you would share your opinion frankly with me i learn a lot from it.
