L5Larry Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Without a doubt, and I'm showing my age here: Duane Allman's solo in Boz Scaggs' recording of "Loan Me A Dime" from his first album (1969). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grampa Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Keeping this in the rock genre, I really like the 3 soloes Springsteen plays on Warren Zevon's last album on the cut called "Disorder in the House", and Brian May's little solo in "We Will Rock You" is pure rock and roll distilled down to a short little solo. If we leave the rock genre and go into solo guitar work, we have lots of great stuff - Leo Kottke, Tommy Emmanuel etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermionik Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Allman Brothers Live at the Fillmore East double album bought over to the UK late '71 by some friends from LA who came over with Zappa (when he got his leg busted by some twit at the Astoria/Rainbow)..... Head full of acid, blues and booze, the hi-fi (a pair of H||H 100w slaves, one left, one right into Tannoy concentrics - still going strong to this day.....). All the solos, on every track, starting with Statesboro Blues..... You Don't Love Me had me gibbering with excitement, and by the time Whipping Post came by, I was there, man, ready to pick up my guitar and play, let's form a band, let's rock, let's do something, anything so long as guitars are involved. Duane and Dickey were the inspiration. Even now, that album makes the goose bumps rise..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Player Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Free Bird Thank you ChanMan... I was amazed nobody else had mentioned it yet! One of my all time favorites! Although he is not a favorite, have to give props to the local boy (or at least I am pretty sure he is a male) Prince... Let's Go Crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermionik Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 . . I kinda liked that solo Buddy Whittington did with John Mayall's crew - which Clapton had to follow, and struggled. . 'son you tube..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
