Favorite Guitar Solo

cycles2141 posts05-21-2021 5:48amI think Jeff Beck has the best chops of any living guitarist. However it’s the way he treats melodic songs such ’A Day in the Life’ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHHY3eRUMsM) or ’Nessun Dorma’ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdUdtpjv0ZI) that set him apart from other guitarists.

This is why there are SOOOOO many simply phenomenal performances from so many legendary guitarists to pick just one...That said, this Ronnie Scott’s performance is one for the ages. Vinnie and Tal lay down the perfect foundation for Jeff and Jason to do their thing. Jimmy Page and Robert Plant were in the audience. Quite a night, I have this on DVD.

As a guitarist myself I find it difficult to name just one 'guitar solo' anymore, but there are a few performances on solo guitar that I would consider almost transcendental, such as this one:https://youtu.be/OwmljH41B1Q

That was amazing. Thanks.
