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 and Steve Hunter on Aerosmiths "Train kept a rollin" and Earl Slick's solo on "Moonage Daydream" on David Bowies, DAVID LIVE record. Just to name
a couple for me.
enjoying zappa's "shut up and play yer guitar" - 3 discs - lots of terrific solos.
George Benson and Alan Holdsworth had been mentioned, (I agree) otherwise, have any of this thread's contributers heard of jazz?
