Tman5293 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I thought we could give this a try. Name the song that you think has the most soulful guitar playing. For me it's this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9oymWJXp68 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yl2PWD3jkpQ&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The RandyMan Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Sorry, T-Man. I could never come up with just one. A lot of what I listen to ends up in my collection simply because of the amount of soul some people put into their playing. In this case, maybe "soul" is similar to "passion." There are those that put so much passion into what they're playing. They aren't just playin' it, they're feelin' it. For me that puts the "soul" into it. Jimi Hendrix comes to mind. He was definitely not the most technically agile of guitar players, but if you watched him, you could tell that he "felt" what he was playing. Just like Stevie Ray. So many of Stevie Ray's songs, you could see (if you could see him) that he wasn't playing it, he was feeling it and letting that feeling extend to the end of his fingertips. He simply used his hands and his guitar as a translation medium for what he was feeling. Didn't mean to muddle the idea of your topic, but there are so many soulful guitar players out there, I could never pick just one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grampa Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Hard to come up with only one but even though it has no words, "Great Gig In The Sky" from Dark Side of the Moon always comes to mind when I think soulful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzoboy Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 "This Boy"by The Beatles:the harmonies are just deadly but what really raises the goosebumps on me is when John wails out the high notes in the chorus-you can feel every bit of the angst and emotion that he put into that song. Royal Albert Hall performance of Jimi's "Bleeding Heart"- I still get choked up whenever I hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shnate McDuanus Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 The whole song, but I'll only post one part because I can't fit the whole thing in one post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaleb Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 I can name a few.....Cliffs of Dover by Eric Johnson--last time I listened I almost started crying. So powerful. And Paul VS Godzilla by Mr. Gilbert. Soulful as can be. Actually, that whole album ( Silence Followed by a Deafening Roar ) is full of soul. And I can't leave out Gary Moore's "Messiah Will Come Again". That track is so brilliant. Its like he was at one with God or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awel Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 To me 'riviera paradise' , 'tin pan alley', or 'little wings' by SRV or Gary Moore 'Messia..' are song that touch me so much as well as 'the forgotten part2' by Satriani or 'for the love of god' by Steve Vai, I remember watching Steve vai FTLOG video When I was starting guitare, that song make me chill ( even if I am not a shred fan at all ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Well if you're talking songs with soul or straight out soul songs you gotta start with Motown and the Temps. and Gladys and the Pips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbabig Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 While not as mystical as their first album, I feel Morrison really sings his best here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwMc0TjW_6Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobB Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Most soulful guitar playing in a song? For me, I would say Gary Moore playing "Still Got the Blues" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grampa Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I suggest that if anyone wants to hear something so soulful ot hurts they watch the dedication for the MLK Memorial this Sunday. Aretha will be singing "Take My Hand, Precious Lord", one of King's favorites. Gauranteed to be soulful beyond belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
