Zowie! This is where music is the thing rather than all that equipment which gets you there. First off Bloomfield’s solo on “East West” How about early on when it was new like Jeff Beck on “Mr. you’re a better man than I” solo on early Yardbirds, My Fave Roy Buchanan live on “Hey Joe” and “Dual Soliloquy” his last recording both from his Anthology, or Zappa, “Pink Stucco” from Shut up and Play Your Guitar. Let’s get real for us who were there… the first time you heard Eric Brann’s lead in In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida! abinitio adenenum, Carl: Milwaukee
Your Favorite, Most Outstanding Guitar Solo
Of all the musical performances I own on recorded format, whether they be LP or CD, there are certain guitar solos that are the most engaging and memorable. You know, the ones that when they're over, you just sit there speechless, wondering "How the hell did they just do that"?
As with anything, there are certain performances when everything was "just right". When the musician had that "perfect connection" between themselves and the instrument. This is not limited to acoustic or electric, live or studio, or any specific discipline of music. It also does not necessarily have to be your favorite guitarist. Very simply, your favorite guitar solo.
I would like to hear your opinions. This would be a great thread for providing exposure to other listeners, to material that they may be unaware of. If possible, also name the album that the solo is from.
My two favorites would have to be:
Jeff Beck / "The Golden Road" off of "There And Back".
John Mc Laughlin / "Every Tear From Every Eye" off of "Electric Guitarist"
Thanks for your responses.
