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??

I like most of Eddie Van Halen of Van Halen and Angus Young of AC/DC. It get me the chills when I heard it.
Although not primarily known for his playing Bruce Springsteen's guitar break in 'Jungleland' always gets me up and bouncing around.
Steve via on David Lee Roth's Goin Crazy...one of the best put together (as opposed to jam) pop solos i've ever heard.
Speaking of Steve Vai, his solo on "Ease" by PIL (Public Image LTD.) 'generic white covered' lp titled ALBUM/CASSETTE/CD depending on the format with the legendary Ginger Baker.
Also my friend/bandmate Pam, played with Steve during their high school days.
