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??

Dick Wagner was the subject of the previous post, and his solos with Lou Reed on the Rock and Roll Animal and Live recordings.
All the Tom Verlaine/Richard Lloyd solos from Television's Marquee Moon. Nothing very sophisticated but seem to fit the songs perfectly.
Robert Fripp from Brian Eno's album Here Come the Warm Jets. The track is Baby's on Fire. Wicked guitar.
