A few months back, I entered a guitar solo contest to win an awesome Mayones guitar. I didn't win, I'm not really a solo player, but I got to see a lot of amazing people playing insane shred solos over this short piece. I found a few new players to follow, and a few that I've already been following did some cool solos!

I found this girl a while back, her name is Sarah Longfield. She plays 8-string guitars, and has recently become a Strandberg artist, playing their strange 8-strings. She's quite the talented musician, playing amazing guitar, some vocals, some drums...check out her and her band The Fine Constant for more.
