Larry Carlton/Steely Dan ... Kid Charlemagne Neal Schon/Santana .. Everybody's Everything Dave Gilmour/Pink Floyd ... Comfortably Numb Jay Ferguson/Jo Jo Gunn ... Ride, Ride, Ride
The White Stripes were an American rock duo, formed in 1997 in Detroit, Michigan. The group consisted of drummer Meg White and songwriter Jack White. Meg and Jack White were previously married to each other, but are now divorced.
Eric Bell on Thin Lizzys 'The Hero and The Madman' from the album Vagabonds of The Western World. The solo comes towards the end of the track. There's a story that Bell was more or less out of it at the time and thought that he was being referred to as the madman in the song. Cue violent guitar solo.....
For me - gotta be Neil Young. Like a Hurricane or Cortez the Killer. Amazing. Should have been at the O2 tonight watching him right now....only found out today that it was cancelled cos the band's guitarist has broke his wrist!
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (the second/outro solo). I don't give a shit how commercial it is, it still rules Metallica - The Shortest Straw. Still convinced it's the best, most criminally overlooked metal solo ever Prince - Bambi. Funkfuckingtastic Gary Moore - Parisienne Walkways. Spine-tingling Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love. You know the bit I mean. When that guitar squeals in..... FUUUUUCK.
Well there are a million but here are a few suggestions:
Joe Bonamassa - Mountain Time from "Live from nowhere particular" In fact Joe may very well be the best soloist playing now Clapton Five long years "From the cradle" Paul Kossof "Come together in the morning" Peter Green "Need your love so bad" US version Dave Gilmour "Comfortably Numb" Richie Blackmore "Highway Star" from "Live in Japan" Jimmy Page "Dazed and Confused" Led Zepp 1 Glen Felder "Hotel California" Jimi Hendrix "Red House" (everyone has had Watchtower so I'll throw this in) Mark Knopfler "Telegraph Road" Jeff Beck "Drown in my own tears" Jools Hollands more friends album Brian May "Bohemian Rhapsody" Slash "Sweet Child of Mine"
Can I also say that some great unsung players have already been mentioned Richard Thompson for one and Guthrie Govan. Personally I don't particularly like the pyrotechnic stuff like Steve Vai and Joe Satriani to me it starts to look like a novelty act and not what great soloing is about as it has no real "soul" don't kill me for that it's just an opinion.
