OT: Song Thread - Guitars

[nwhoopfan]

Maybe cheating a litttle, but a dobro is a type of guitar, right? Jerry Douglas rocks! He's done some solo stuff, a whole bunch of session work, and has been a member of Alison Krauss' band Union Station for years.

Might as well go full on steel guitar. I don't think this guy is very well known but he's good.

Hawaiian slack key for something different

For a movie scene this is pretty darn iconic. Really gets going around 2:30. Banjo outshines the guitar but nice pickin' on both instruments.

Some classic 80s stuff. These guys toned down the glam after their first album. Some tasty guitar work here.

Another iconic guitar riff from the 70s.

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

Yea, I was definitely NOT looking for songs ABOUT guitars.

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.

Good catch. They were Gibsons (ES-350T early in his career, later switching to ES-345s and ES-355s), not Les Paul Gibsons. My bad.

One more and I'm done for today. I could pick any number of Zappa tunes, but this one has a great extended solo:

And his son (and daughter)

Let's Talk About It - Dweezil Zappa

Classic 2 lead guitar sound with an awesome long 2 guitar solo.

One of my favorites.

And on the off chance you've never heard of him here's another shooting star who like a few over the past week burned out far too fast

I either have missed or not see a video with Joe Bonamassa. In this light I will attach one that not only has Joe but with Eric Clapton....a two-fer!

And now for something completely different -

 

[DogBoy]

Here is one featuring Mcguinn's jangely chimey Rickenbacker 370 a sound he made famous. Also included in this is Marty Stewart playing Clarence White's original B bender telecaster built by Gene Parsons. The B bender also produced an iconic sound like a steel guitar.

Jimmy Page on a Dano 59 tuned to DADGAD.

Link Wray on a 31 fret Dano Longhorn playing Rawhide
