Guitar Solos

As a serious music listener and a musician,(although I am a drummer) nothing makes me shiver like a good guitar solo. It's seems to be a dying art,at least in popular music. Still lots of good guitar in blues and jazz. Some of my favs : Dear John by Jack Semple ,La Grange By Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, Aqualung By Martin Barre with Jethro Tull and Bluest Blues by Alvin Lee. I'd love to check out some other peoples favs, a couple old and maybe a couple new??

Frank Zappa, both solos in King Kong, from "You Can't Do that on Stage Anymore", Volume 3. Also, his solo in"The Torture never Stops", from the CD release of "Live in New York". And dozens more.

"We will rock you", by Queen's Brian May. It may not be flashy but it fits perfectly with the song.

Another fav. is from News from Communique by Dire Straits, one of the shortest M Knopfler solos, but again slots perfectly into the song.

"Green Earing" by Steely Dan on "The Ryal Scam" album. I think Jeff "Skunk" Baxter played that one.
