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??

Paul Rodgers - Muddy Waters Blues

There's some exceptional performances by some serious shredmasters on this album. Check out Jeff Beck's work on 'Rollin' Stone', his sound totally sets the mood for the entire song. Also, David Gilmour on 'Standing Around Crying' - I never would have known it was him. Great stuff.
"Why does love have to be so sad", off Clapton's '73 Dominoes live album at the Fillmore, Neil Young's "Cortez the Killer" off Zuma, Jimi's "Little Wing" and believe it or not I always liked Craig Chaquiso's solo on Jefferson Starship "Ride the Tiger"
