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??

@tablejockey The Kiseki Blue NS is the best cartridge I own, or at least my favorite to listen to.  I bought mine at a significant discount from seller kron here.

Many Steely Dan records have a lot of hidden gems in terms of guitar solos.  I say hidden, because when you think of Steely Dan, you don't typically think of them as a guitar band and the guitar solos are usually a little further back in the mix, but listen to Rikki Don't Lose That Number or Night by Night on Pretzel Logic.  The solo from Reelin' In the Years is one of my favorites ever.

@tablejockey If you haven't already seen it, there's a really cool documentary about the making of Aja and they talk a lot about how they chose different musicians to bring different things to the table on different songs.
