[Aluminny69]

Love the song Blue Sky by the Allman Brothers. There are two solos back to back, one by Dwayne Allman beginning at 1:10 and one by Dickie Betts beginning at 2:40. I took up the guitar about three years ago and set my mind recently on learning the first solo by heart. Took over a month but I got it!

One last one tonight - i hope it is more or less what was intended and is IS a guitar solo...

This has been my absolute favorite guitar solo for decades now. Larry Carlton of the Crusaders. It's not a long solo nor that technical, but it's sublime. Begins at about 2:00.

Q: How many guitarists does it take to change a light bulb?

A: 21. One to change the light bulb and 20 to say "Man, I could do that."

Genesis.

(Tony Kaye plays a piano solo at the beginning of the song. Wonder how many fans of Phil Collins 1980s pop music ever listened to his drumming for 1970s Genesis prog rock music.)
