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??

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

Check out "Think I'll go back Home" from Stephen Stills self titled with Eric Clapton playing lead - great solo.
There is one track one the first (actually second, but his first real) record of Joe Satriani. I can't remember the name of the song, but its the fourth (or third? Damn you, alcohol!) track of the album. It already is a great solo, but the way he continues it when you think he's done is pure genius! Hang on, as soon as I'm home I'll provide you guys with the name, and the neighbours with some annoying noise!

I like most of Eddie Van Halen of Van Halen and Angus Young of AC/DC. It get me the chills when I heard it.
