This makes MUCH more sense...playing guitar and doing the Carlosish thing...probably a bit harder edged tone than CS but I prefer it YOUR way.


Cheers

What the heck! Wow, way to whip, Peter. Lay down a good Latin band with a little bit o' gangsta, then top it off with such a wonderful tribute in style. You have many influences in your own influential playing, and it's easy to hear that Carlos has been with you for quite awhile. Well done.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Great choice of RD (and the rest of the BAND stays-out-of-the-way nicely).

Tasty playing!

Excellent mix.

Hi Peter,

What a good solo you played there!
I think Carlos would have loved it, but in any case I do.
You came very close in this challenge playing like Carlos, but the sound of the guitar was 'too dirty' to win this challenge, unfortunately.
I still have to listen to David S, although I fear what his song is about. Probably full of surprises.

But your song as a whole is very attractive. I was amazed you could play like this. Very well done!!!
