guitar solos where less is more

Jax2 - I'm with you on the Beta. In keeping with the spirit of this thread...perhaps less is more?

At 9 minutes and 11 seconds Stevie Ray Vaughn's Tin Pan Alley (Couldn't Stand the Weather CD) is the most awe inspiring slow-smouldering guitar solo you have ever heard! Too bad he did not employ this technique more often.

I went to an Electrocompaniet demonstration at my local dealer where they had Electro's top-of-the-line amp, preamp and CD player mated with with the Wilson Maxx speakers and highest grade of Transpaent cables. The demo track chosen for the evening was SRV's Tin Pan Alley(aka Roughest Place in Town)

I play the guitar and have many versions of Autumn Leaves on guitar. This is the most heartfelt rendition of the song on guitar I have ever heard. BTW, this was an improvisation by Ted Greene (RIP).

Nice melody but Ted Greene just can't play. Sorry.

The Beach Boys' "Don't Worry Baby".
