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??

Albert Lee on "Country Boy".

Amos Garrett on Maria Muldaur's hit "Midnight At The Oasis".

Jerry Douglas on anything he plays on. 
Ry Cooder's little solo on John Hiatt's "Lipstick Sunset". I am fortunate enough to have heard him perform it live (as a member of Little Village, same lineup as on the recording: John Hiatt, Ry Cooder, Nick Lowe, Kim Keltner), and though I have seen and heard a lot of greats live (Albert King, Mike Bloomfield, Clapton, Jeff Beck, Hendrix, Robben Ford, hundreds of others), Ry is in a class of his own.
