I first played a few guitars I had here to see which one sounds closest over the backing track. The guitar sound is surely not 100% as the original but closer to it than any of my previous attempts so I thought you might be interested in some details on the gear and settings. Instead of a link to the competition entry, you will find a player module with my version at the end of this post, mainly because Puresolo only plays back uploaded stuff in a horrible quality (something like 64 kbs). Note that you had to record the guitar with Puresolo’s software which did not allow you to fix mistakes later, so you had to play the whole song in one part and leave in all mistakes, or try it again with a second attempt. I always find it a bit frustrating to take part in such a competition because as it seems nobody knows before who decides basing on what criteria (authenticity, accuracy, originality, creativity, …?) Anyway, as the backing track was really great – the original recording of Sultans of Swing without the lead guitar – I simply used the opportunity to try how close I can get to the sound of the original. Like many others, I recorded an entry for the Puresolo competition (you could play your solo over one of the following backing tracks: Sulans of Swing, Calling Elvis, or Speedway at Nazareth).
