Ralph Towner "Solo Concert" my favorite
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??

..Great contemporary solo guitarists who frequently defy category. 1. Bill Frisell 2. Michael Brook 3. Nguyen Le Also HAPA (Barry Flannigan and Keli'i Kaneali'i), who released a 1997 disc called "In The Name Of Love" on Coconut Grove label. Just spectacular playing throughout a beautifully recorded session. There's a soundtrack to a movie called "Deep Blues" where Big Jack Johnson demonstrates the postmodern, soul-scorching, sonic-shredder sound that Beefheart died searching for. It is a pinnacle of north Mississippi rural style. Did-up in Clarksdale. |

Please do yourself a favor and check out a guy named Joe Bonamassa. I went to a BB King concert last year where Joe was the opening act. I thought "Joe who?" After he came on stage, he stole the show. Absolutely great guitar riffs. In 60 minutes he played 12 different guitars and rolled from blues to rock. His stuff is available at Amazon. He also sings in his music, but the guitar is best that I've heard. I'm curious if anyone else here know Joe's work? |
