Guitar Solos

Try to pick upa copy of "ITCH" by Kim Mitchell (Canadian Rock Guitarist)...phoenomenal guitar licks on this Rock/Blues album...and the acoustics of the recording are fabulous!

This cd is sometimes avalable on ebay if your local music store cannot import this for you (assuming you are in the US)

Funny enough I recently discovered Joe Bonamassa on amazon! by reading "people who bought this,also bought..."section. I agree he is a wicked guitar play!

Please do yourself a favor and check out a guy named Joe Bonamassa. I went to a BB King concert last year where Joe was the opening act. I thought "Joe who?" After he came on stage, he stole the show. Absolutely great guitar riffs. In 60 minutes he played 12 different guitars and rolled from blues to rock. His stuff is available at Amazon. He also sings in his music, but the guitar is best that I've heard. I'm curious if anyone else here know Joe's work?

Here's the other thread:

..Great contemporary solo guitarists who frequently defy category.

1. Bill Frisell
2. Michael Brook
3. Nguyen Le

Also HAPA (Barry Flannigan and Keli'i Kaneali'i), who released a 1997 disc called "In The Name Of Love" on Coconut Grove label. Just spectacular playing throughout a beautifully recorded session.

There's a soundtrack to a movie called "Deep Blues" where Big Jack Johnson demonstrates the postmodern, soul-scorching, sonic-shredder sound that Beefheart died searching for. It is a pinnacle of north Mississippi rural style. Did-up in Clarksdale.

Jeff Beck-Cause We've Ended As Lovers

Ralph Towner "Solo Concert" my favorite

KVHW (kimock, vega, hertz, & white) is also awesome (pre steve kimock band). also can be found on db.etree.org.

You simply *must* check out Mr. Steve Kimock, his jams and soloes are exquisitely beautiful. Go to db.etree.org and click on the Steve Kimock Band link - you'll find several hundred live shows available for download. The ones recorded by Charlie Miller & Ariel Phares are usually quite good sounding.

BTW, his drummer, Rodney Homes, is the best skin banger I've seen since Billy Cobham...

Willy Porter. . .his new one. . .can't think of the name right now, but the cover has a picture of high-voltage transmission towers.

Really by Mike Bloomfield on the Super Session album.

Cortez The Killer by Neil Young.

Buddy Guy's Stone Crazy has gems throughout! For jazz, I LOVE Wes on Smokin' at the Halfnote, especially on Pfrancing and Four on Six! For rock, Jimmy Page's work on disc 2 of How the West was Won is astounding. Made me revisit the Zep catalog!

There was a similar thread a few weeks ago with many great responses
