duane v Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Without a doubt EVH.... When my older brother took me to see Van Halen at the Santa Monica Civic in late 1976. Other than seeing Maynard Ferguson live, watching EVH that evening was a life changing experience for me as a musician...... As a matter of fact the experience may have ruined me as a guitar player for about five years after.

charlie brown Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Eric Clapton's "Crossroads" Cream ("Wheels of Fire")...after all these years, I still cannot listen to it, without cranking the volume up! Roger McGuinn's "Eight Miles High" with the original Byrds, "Hotel California" The Eagles (just a nice solo that really fits that song), The Beatles "And Your Bird Can Sing," and of course "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," with that interplay between George and EC. And, SO many others... CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketman Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I had the pleasure of seeing Maynard Ferguson play many times. He was incredible! The best part about him was that he used young up and coming musicians for his band... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowdown Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Even though it's cut and pasted(though you'd be surprised how many solos are)EVH's solo in Beat It floors me everytime I hear it. After nearly 30 years I still haven't grown sick of hearing it.Stops me in my tracks always. Groundbreaking then,groundbreaking now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Eddie's Eruption is cool, but for me nothing beats 5:56 minutes into Stairway to Heaven. Jimmy and his telecaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vourot Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 One that stands out for me is the solo in "Too cool Queenie" by STP. One of the DeLeo's plays it ( Dean I think ) Its on the list to learn to play. Oh yeah, the intro solo in " Wish you were Here " big time fav as well. Some hard bends in that one, rough on the finger tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pohatu771 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I had the pleasure of meeting MF and getting to play with the band for a couple of tunes. What a musician. I had the displeasure of helping out Dave Mancini (Ferguon's one-time drummer) once. I was supposed to get him all of the equipment he needed, at 11:00. He finally showed up at 12:30 and told me he only needed a snare drum, which he had brought himself. I've heard similar, and worse stories, from other people I know who've worked with him.

Silverbursted Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 "Green Grass and High Tides" by the Outlaws. Years ago (1977 I think), I was visiting a friend at SUNY Brockport and as we were tipping a few back in the quad, I heard this band playing a great cover of this song. As it turned it out, it was not a cover at all, but actually the Outlaws playing a free concert. That place was rocking, because that version was probably 20 minutes long!!!
