What the hell. 7 hours and no SRV?

Justin Hayward and John Lodge of the Moody Blues recorded this as the Blue Jays in 1975

One of the best that ever lived - Glen Campbell (with Roy Clark)

or if you prefer something a bit more high brow -

 

[Scud49]

For my money, probably one of the top 3 guitar songs of all time:

A guitar plays an important part in this video and I didn’t want to miss an opportunity to slip a John Belushi Animal House video into this thread

 

[Scud49]

The Tucker boys again with Toy's guitar lead in and screamin' beautifully throughout - this particular live version with Charlie Daniels on fiddle is the best IMO:

What the hell. 7 hours and no SRV?

Andy Gibb quit school at the age of 13, and with an acoustic guitar given to him by his older brother Barry, he began playing at tourist clubs around Ibiza, Spain.

This is about Bonnie Raitt

Just went to see these guys for the first time at the Jazz Standard last week. Listen to how they (Dan Wilson and Joey) improvise over these chord changes. Magnificent. Also listen to how the drummer swings yet plays the melody always, and his pacing and sense of space is incredible. Magic.

Les Paul's birthday is tomorrow (6/9), so why not a thread about guitars??? So songs by Iconic guitar players, iconic guitar solos, iconic guitar rifs. Should give you plenty of stuff to work with.

Famous rif on a Les Paul (with a duck walk solo)
Johnny Be Good - Chuck Berry

Half of theae songs are neither about guitars or even refer to guitars in the song. May as well have made the thread about favorite guitarists.

I liked your post as I expected and hoped for the same. Do go back and see he included what we are seeing.

Basically anything guitar. Having said that I will not admonish meyers7, but as a fan of both Les Paul and Chuck Berry, Chuck never played a Les Paul. He played a 335 and others of the 330 line which were hollow bodies. All Les Paul models are solid body guitars.

While this thread is not true to it's title and will probably get over 1,300 contributions........wait that reminds me of a song. ....

My current fave. Phrasing, distinctive tone, imagination, intellect, maturity. Peter Bernstein. With a current popular fave who seems to me just a bit mechanical, without a distinctive tone, and who doesn't seem to organize his solos compositionally. He does have imagination though. Kurt Rosenwinkle. Yet, people like him so he has something. I just don't hear it. Also here with the incredible Eric Harland on drums who just seems to understand the idea of melody and counterpoint and space as well as any drummer.

 

[JordyG]

Finally my all time favorite. He learned to to play without a pick and only with his thumb because he lived in an apartment with his wife, and they would all complain about the noise. One of the most imaginative and creative who has ever played, and his phrasing was always impeccable. He also perfected the art of playing octaves.

In the time honored tradition of ignoring Spanish musicians in guitar threads everywhere, I nominate a Croatian. Sorry 'bout the music though.

Larry Carlton takes one of the absolute sweetest-sounding solos at about the 2:00 mark of this tune:

While my guitar gently weeps

Oops, took a while to get a song from Jimi. Here's another Jimmy, can't believe nobody posted anything by this band yet! Could use pretty much any of their songs, this is the one I grabbed.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Slash is pretty famous. One of their slower songs, but one of their best known and has a fairly blistering solo.

 

[nwhoopfan]

This band was already mentioned but I really like the acoustic guitar in this song.
