The guitar solo
"Ah, the bending of notes — what a strange and particular pleasure that represents, when a solo electric guitar note slips betwixt and between, into a place that might be musically inexact but is none the less hugely emotionally expressive, carried along on a buzz of sustain, the sound compressed by amplification to the point where it starts to collapse in on itself and attack the ear with a sensation of screaming feedback until, under the nimble fingers of a gifted guitarist, it achieves sonic lift-off and streaks into the musical stratosphere..."
I love the guitar solo. Which guitar solo is your favourite?
Here are a couple of mine:
Guns n'Roses, Sweet Child of Mine, Slash

Pink Floyd, Comfortably Numb, David Gilmore

Thanks, Pali Gap is a masterpiece. I have never heard it before.
I have never really understood the popularity of Stevie Ray Vaughn, but now my mind is clearing up. Riviera Paradise is a killer.
Here is Mississippi Fred McDowell - Como

I'm partial to melodic leads that build. This intro to Sweet Jane off of Lou Reed's live Rock and Roll Animal - 1974, by guitarists Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner are just I'm talking about. Almost Slash meets Duane Allman and Dickie Betts.

Warbler nailed it. Best Hear My Train A'Comin ever.
And if you have not heard Johnny Winter do Highway 61 Revisted you are totally missing out.
How about some more Duane and Dickey:

Junior Kimbrough - Most things haven't worked out
Thanks for the link to Kimbrough in another thread. I can imagine the old man with his gitar sitting by the gate between heaven and hell smoking his cigar playing for the lost souls arriving in either direction. If this is not the real thing I don't know - the playing is like a slowly moving unstoppable force of nature - pure fire - it's down and dirty, up and holy.

Mississippi Fred McDowell - Good Morning Little School Girl - http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=0L2aUSSfO38
"Fred McDowell was extraordinarily open with his music. In fact, he was occasionally criticized by his peers for being too willing to let people "steal" from him. I asked him one time why he was so generous in sharing and teaching the music. I said that there were other players who guarded their techniques and felt ripped-off when they heard one of their licks played by someone else. Fred said, "You know, I won't be around here forever. But I know that after I am dead and gone, they'll know in their hearts that it was me that showed it to them. And that's one way I'll live on and on and on. That's not so bad, is it?"
It's not so bad. Fred knew you couldn't patent a blues lick, and he knew that you couldn't exactly copy one of his licks either. Because it was truly a live/life music, an extension of the man he was. He was happy to share the tools of his trade. He knew it all came back around anyway."

So much hated by Dylan purists that I do not have enough self control to stay away from posting this example of G n'R excellence.
In my dream world Dylan one day stands up praising the version. Just a dream. LOL

Donald,
Thank you for sharing. When dealing with the guitar solo I guess it will always come back to Hendrix - time and time again.

Has anyone mentioned MR Danny Gatton?
Here's just a small sample of the man shredding.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyjtW-rvWoQ&feature=related
I once heard a guitarist describe him as rock, blues, jazz and classical runs, all in a single line!
They didn't call him the humbler for nothing......

"Ah, the bending of notes — what a strange and particular pleasure that represents, when a solo electric guitar note slips betwixt and between, into a place that might be musically inexact but is none the less hugely emotionally expressive, carried along on a buzz of sustain, the sound compressed by amplification to the point where it starts to collapse in on itself and attack the ear with a sensation of screaming feedback until, under the nimble fingers of a gifted guitarist, it achieves sonic lift-off and streaks into the musical stratosphere..."

Thanks for bumping this thread today, Marlow!
This is first view for me.
Regarding Z Brown's post at the top: It Might Get Loud, that documentary is such a gem. Just the opening alone, where Jack White makes a guitar from rudimentary elements and then lays down that crude, powerful, intensely emotional passage; so very artful and meaningful.
And throughout, the admiration and awe that Jack White and Edge show for Jimmy Page is entirely telling, and really fun to see.
…
Ydpl8s' post of Jimi's cover of Sunshine of Your Love is the proverbial shitt!
…
And going back a page, your post from Johnny Depp's Dead Man reminds me what an obscure treat that film is!
 I can see I have lots of fun to catch up with on this thread.

One of the greatest guitar solos of all time:
George Lynch, Mr. Scary live in Japan, 1988
[Click to View YouTube Video]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kFG1-avHyI
George has always had a distinctive and recognizable style, unique phrasing, amazing chops, and the most killer rip-your-face-off tone that I’ve ever heard out of a guitar – an awesome inspiration.
