Unexpected great guitar solos

The title is pretty self explanatory. List some of your faves too.

 

This great fuzz solo starts around 1:23 and then there's the outro solo around 2:45

 

 

Edit: OK. I used to just delete the s in https and the the video would embed. Now somethings obviously changed. msp_crying.gif

 

The songs is The Carpenters "Goodbye To Love"

OK. Here's a little more well known example. I'm really just trying to see if it's all YT vids or just the last one I attempted that wouldn't embed.

 

 

Edit again: Anyone know what the deal is on why they won't embed?

The Blues Image: Ride Captain Ride. Right at the 2 minute mark. Love this solo.

(I am sure I posted it before a few years ago).

 

 

I was curious about who it was that played the solo so I googled it. It was a guy named Kent Henry (he dropped his last name and just used those 2). This was the bands only hit and they broke up and he joined Steppenwolf for a while and ended up playing on John Kay's first solo album. He fell off stage and suffered from a seizure disorder afterwards. Then developed ALzheimer's symptoms and died in 2008 at age 60 from a bowel obstruction. Sad end of life. Was a great guitar player, especially on this song.

I'm not a massive fan of reggae but this track has, IMO, one of the most sublimely lyrical solos ever captured. 50 seconds of pure bliss from the 4:05 mark;

Yes me too but who played it...

Tony Peluso. The first time I knew who played the guitar solo was about twenty-odd years ago when there was a documentary screened about The Carpenters and they went in to a fair amount of detail regarding the recording of the track.

I first heard the track when I was in my early teens. At that time myself and all my musical friends were listening to Hendrix, Free, Cream and the like. When I bought an album by The Carpenters I got quite a bit of stick - until I played them 'Goodbye To Love'...It's one of only three or four songs where I have actually learned the solos note-for-note - and it really is an absolute joy to play.

Pip.
