I can't help but here Misha's solo over this. Everything else just sounds wrong to me.

Agreed. The tone, phrasing and note choice all sit appropriately over the chord changes. All these shreddy entries just don't sound as good to me.

Fortunately I've never heard the original song so I don't have any idea what it's "supposed" to sound like 
I might have to enter this, it's a good excuse to start playing guitar again since I haven't played in months. Out of the stuff posted here I like isispelican's solo the best.

Gave you a like, but be warned - you will get a lot of dislikes in any video contest.

Wow, you guys play fast!
Here's mine
Tasteful, and follows the changes well. Good stuff!
Thanks! I liked the feeling of the original solo, so I didn't want to stray too far from it rhytmically, but it honestly took a little planning to get through the changes!

Hey! Thanks for your support! Voting starts October 21 in the competition website and lasts for a month, so I guess that's when the "vote for me" spamthreads start to show up
It's kind of a weird system but then again it's fair since solos that were submitted earlier would have more time to gather votes if the voting was already on.

This is one of those tunes where constant shred just sounds awful to me. The changes are definitely not standard, so I feel like it might help people to draw attention to the changes rather than play a "look what I can do" solo. If the changes sound cool and you follow the changes, you'll sound cool.
Just one piece of advice ...
When you land on a note, landing on one that belongs to the key is usually not enough. For example, if the chord is Cmaj7 and you land on F, it is going to sound really bad regardless of it being part of the key (for reasons too long to detail here).
What you want to do is land on a note that is part of the chord, or an extension of the chord. To keep it simple, if you are just learning about harmony, just hit the third/seventh/fifth of the current chord and you will be fine.

I too ducked up and didn't know about the mega-thread. So here's mine:

It's the only one I've seen so far that doesn't hint at the original solo.

Some interesting stuff so far. I'm still battling with mine...with my luck I won't have something I'm satisfied with until it's too late.
