Nice playing, so don't get me wrong: but for me it had nothing to do with So What. There is space in the Miles Davis tune, that perhaps just can't be captured on electric guitar. And there is a loneliness to improvisation and a phrasing you've missed.

Maybe it is a tune that can only be captured by horns and reeds.

But as far as your playing went, first rate.
