Favorite guitar solo?

[TUBEDUDE]

LUCKY HENRY, OFF THE ALBUM "11TRACKS OF WHACK" BY ONE OFF STEELY DAN MAN WALTER BECKER! TWO GREAT SOLO'S HERE. ONE WAS DEAN PARKS AND THE OTHER WASN'T BECKER EITHER.

"Victim of Love" by the Eagles. A great example of less is more and smooth use of the slide as well. Joe Walsh has always played great leads with a style that is instantly recognizable by anyone except him. He was so out of it when he did the stuff for Richard Marx that later upon hearing it he commented that" the leadwork was great, who did it" ? And, who could forget "The Rocky Mountain Way". How about some love guys ?

Blue Sky gets a nod from me. I can always make time to hear that song.

Anything by Jeff Beck is inspirational.

Acoustically - Mr Hedges. Aerial Boundaries is short but full of magic.

[Reeltarded]

One? No way.

So this is Love? (VH)
Push Comes to Shove (VH)
Secrets (VH)

Going Down (JBG)
Blue Wind (JB)

.. and hundreds more.


Funny thing, I effing hate VH, the band.

I met Jeff Healey

Jeff drank cups of keg beer all night during his performance, his guitar tech would bring them out to the mike cup holder as fast as Jeff could suck them down and he would toss the plastic cups at the audience.

True story. He did the same thing at the two concerts I went to see.

Does Jeff Healey still play the Marshall he did in Roadhouse?

This week's favorite guitar solo:

Long John Baldry - Morning Dew (1980)
Don't know who played that.

Gait

Wow, lot of good solos here. I would say Peter Greene for Albatross, but we can't forget Carlos Santana for his Soul Sacrafice Jam @ Woodstock. and also Peter Framton's Do You Feel(like I do).I could go on there are so many good ones.

You guys have the rock stuff pretty well covered.
How about,
Kenny Burrell -Midnight Blue,
Grant Green-Jan Jan,
George Benson- Whoa- too many- anything on Blue note.
Allan Holdsworth with Tony Williams- Believe it.

[Colossal]

Allan Holdsworth with Tony Williams- Believe it.

+1000 on anything Allan Holdsworth.

Great to see that there are other Holdsworth fans on this forum. I was going to start a thread on him as his tone is so unique and very "horn like". He sounds like himself no matter if he's playing on a Twin, a Pearce, a Yamaha modeling amp, a Boogie, or his latest Hughes & Kettner amps. He's the nicest chap in the world too. So much brilliant music.

Every time I stumble upon Roy Buchannan I get blown away.

+100 Andy.
Kind of out of left field here, but
Roy's solo on Lonesome Fugitive
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sl47Rrr9f0o
is unbelieveable. 1:50 and turn it up! That sound could cut glass!
The original on that solo is the master, James Burton.
Burton's solo on Rodney Crowell's original of Leaving Louisiana
in the Broad Daylight, is perfection-perfect tone, perfect touch,
8 bars, absolutely not one wasted note.
Just a little curve ball guys.
