Imagine how much better he'd be if his chair didn't have armrests.

[JEL]

Still come back and listen to this every once in a while.

I competed and overcomplicated the whole thing. I'm glad to see something so melodic and brilliantly succinct winning this contest! Your entry is genius, my friend and your win was well-deserved. Congrats!!!

[edwardscissorhands]

Nowadays there are so many great guitar players with great technical ability. But making a beautiful and memorable composition with not too much showing off the skills...only pure genius can do that. You're more than deserved to win this brother!

[Diogolindir]

The note selection, the tone, the chops. the composition is moving

[Arty_C]

There are some amazing players in this competition, however Rucy gives me goosebumps while listening to this. Spectacular note choices, technicality, living in and owning this groove, all make me wish this was an entire song. I would bet you are watching the winner right here. Cheers!

[CoolStuffDad]

...and THAT is why this entry took 1st place- solid phrasing, tone, superbly dynamic, and just enough flash to close it out- brilliant, man!

[bokistotel]

This is one of the best solos I have EVER heard!

[thefamilyman]

0:19 amazing little chime to start a solo
0:28 - 0:31 very pop-ish singing melody, super catchy
0:41 insane jazz-ish and melodic lick

[vincinerte]

This sounds like something I'd hear on an anime OST, and I mean that as the highest form of compliment.

[berigeri]

0:40 this lick just gives me the chills!!! nice one dude

[BrianAndersonTT]

This was so luscious. I always really enjoy guitar work that makes such skill sound beautiful.

[classicsneverdie]

The first of all the videos I watched for the contest that really cared about harmonies and melodies. Congrats man!

[DiegoTorres-iwkn]

It's been a year and something and I'm still here, I can't stop listening your solo, definitely the best!

[lancesims]

That blues lick at 40 seconds is straight god tier

[The_Alex_Murphy]

Rucy, you rock so much dude. I listen to this solo over & over again. One of my all-time favorites!

[jackpiki]

This had me wishing it didn't last only 1 minute, I wanna listen to this for 10 hours damn it! Please make like a continuing to this solo, maybe a full song, I need it so bad!

[BrianAndersonTT]

So my favorite won! Tough competition with hella talent deserving a win as well but I felt like yours shined with the balance of technique and musicality. Congratulations!

[sammathis]

I know the contest is over, but I have come back to listen to this several times. You did a really good job.

[jimmyelectric]

Max may have been the jaw dropper but your solo just hit me emotionally--taking me back to my childhood of video games and the occasional anime. I see why this won first place!
