I challenge anyone to watch and listen to (On YouTube) to Roy Buchannon's Live from Austin cover of Hendrix' "Hey Joe", and then claim anything else! I used to think that Stevie Ray Vaughn'sx cover of Hendrix' "Little Wing" was at least my favorite cover interpretation, but Roy! I never cease to be amazed by beyond belief at the sounds he learned to make, and of his chops, which others have to use special effects, and multiple pedals on the floor, to poorly simulate. BTW, Roy and Steve Vai (Ex Zappa and Ex David Lee Roth lead guitarist, old rocker in the movie) wrote and performed the guitar parts in the "Karate Kid" remake using guitars intstead of Karate, for the movie "Crossroads".
Favorite Guitar Solo
What is your favorite guitar solo? The one that bypasses your cerebral cortex? The one that best hits your emotional center? Any genre. Any period. Any length. A million notes. Or just one note. Obscure or famous. You can make any excuse as to why you choose it, but explanations are optional. But you gotta choose just one.
My choice? Eric Clapton’s solo in "Sleepy Time Time" from the Fresh Cream album. Simplicity. Emotional ecstasy. Tone.
