    1st guy just killed it. He is clean as fuck and there's a sense of development his idea/solo.
    2nd its cool, aesthetically pleasing technique, not the greatest tone for the track (imho)
    3rd has great melodic content and sense of rhythm, really interesting take!!
    4th was cool. Good Sound and melodic ideas and he kept it interesting
    5th as cool and correct as the notes might be, sound does come into play, sowhis "jazzy" melodies sound a bit out of place. Probably because of the phrasing intention/sound/dynamics.
    Great entries!
