Re. Krantz, I don't actually like a lot of 'noise' but when he does play notes I think his inventiveness is pretty impressive. And rhythmically awesome.
This one almost sounds like bluegrass with an electric guitar.

Alright...
Listened to all of the takes here and the standard being set is quite high - Kudos!
This type of tune and style of jazz is not exactly my cup of tea but since I didn't want to skip another one I had a go. So here's a bit o' noodling over the solo changes:

Nice, Tommo. Thing is, what you're doing suits it perfectly :-)

I'm not convinced this is really a guitar sort of tune... more sax, trumpet, etc. Don't know what you think.

...so I only play with my thumb sometimes ... ;-)

After I heard that, days ago, I tried another version, thought it too thin, and opted for a wahwah effect because it made it sound like an organ. But let's be clear, I'm stuck with the equipment I've got so we make the best of it.
As for the thumb, again don't forget I'm no stranger to a pick. These days I just like to sit and thumb it because, like the classical stuff I used to play, I like being in direct touch with the strings; I find it brings out a better sense of melody. And it's never going to be fast.
While we're at it, I'm also averse to the competitive spirit. I find it aggressive and immature. The music should be done for its own sake, not in order to beat others. If you love a thing, you never compete because it's irrelevant.
So here's the wahwah file, created, according to the file, midday Tuesday. It can be the last blast. It's really an 'effect' rather than a solo as such, eight minutes non-stop, and no aeroplane. Turn it off when you've had enough :-)
