OT: Favorite guitar solos

[Bigboote]

Another from Larry Carlton:

Paige on stairway to heaven is hard to beat, if so, it’s by Hendrix. Most of the stuff posted here is not even top 50 worthy. Trucks can play that damned guitar well though. The guy who played lead guitar at the Kennedy center night honoring Zepp who played the solo for Heart on stairway to heaven was an absolute assassin on that song also…..I’ll link, wait for the solo…..wow, and John Bonham’s son Jason on the drums doing his dad proud.

 

[Cedar]

Rush — La Villa Strangiato
Guitar solo begins at 3:39.

 

[Cedar]

Led Zeppelin — Dazed and Confused

 

[Cedar]

Jimi Hendrix — Voodoo Child (Slight Return)

Well he wouldn't be Buckethead if he wore a bowler.

That is fantastic. I'd been kind of peripherally aware of him, but hadn't listened closely.

So many great responses in this thread @Bigboote and not one of them wrong.

One more from FM's first (best IMO) formation:

Met John Mayal once but didn’t get a chance to ask that elusive question: “Peter Green or Eric Clapton”?

Can't pick a favorite, but watching anything by Tina S is incredible.

Ask and you shall receive, I believe that this the best of her solo's and she was only 17 at the time it was done.



By the way, there is only one instrument being played during this whole presentation.

Yup, if I HAD to choose, that would be the one.
I've watched several YT folks react to that and state that there are literally no mistakes.
Amazing talent that just dropped off the YT grid, lots of speculation as to what she's doing now.
I wish her the best, whatever she is doing now.

Thank you for this. Ever since I saw this
recommendation I've been feeling this whole record. Freeman is so smooth. I'm a huge George Benson fan. So it fits that I dig this.
