Greatest Guitar Solo ever

[yardbird]

Hendrix on one of his (all too few by 1970) good days.

Thank you, Never seen/heard that before

Jimi Hendrix Hey Babe

Doesn't even start singing till 2 mins into the song

I didn't know Hendrix had a song called Hey Babe.

 

[El Jefe]

it varies, but often I think it's the really long one in One Big Holiday by My Morning Jacket - just stunning

Hendrix, having a 'go on, follow that' moment.

(He'd argued with Pete Townsend about whether he'd follow the Who onstage. Hendrix won the argument in the dressing room, but felt compelled to prove his point it appears)

wtf?

maggot brain.

either that or boredom... not quite sure which though...

actually you're right, it is Maggot Brain and i can't believe I didn't mention it.

Somehow, it's absolutely heartbreaking

 

[killer b]

i'm listening to it now. nothing else really comes close in the long run.

isn't there some story about Clinton telling Eddie Hazel to play like his mother just died or something?

 

[mentalchik]

Angus Young mostly anything !

 

[Bernie Gunther]

Old Farts at Play

 

[killer b]

something like that. i think she's supposed to be dead for the first bit, and then miraculously alive for the conclusion... either way, it rules hard.

Hendrix is God. Maybe leave him out of this thread?

Dave Gilmour (not yet mentioned?) is not God, but definitely deserves a place here for many a ruff neck geetar solo

 

[killer b]

heh. i've got youtube playing maggot brain in 4 different windows now, all at slightly different times.

and it still rules.

 

[killer b]

Dave Gilmour (not yet mentioned?) is not God, but definitely deserves a brutal kicking

yep.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Gilmour's solos on Darkside are awesome & you know it

 

[Bernie Gunther]

Led Zep (before they were famous) kicking out Communication Breakdown

 

[clandestino]

Boredom!

I came onto this thread to post this, only to find I'm about four pages too late. It is the greatest guitar solo ever.

 

[killer b]

eh?

 

[Mr.Bishie]

eh?

Ritchie B - now we're talkin'



fuck yeah!

The orch & conductor ain't amused

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Ave it!

I dunno, Maggot Brain alway sounded to me like a Zappa solo, which is OK, but not the highest point of the electric guitar art. If you're gonna listen to that stuff, you really might as well go for a good Zappa track, for example ...

[El Jefe]

nah,Zappa's all technique. Maggot Brain is dripping with emotion

Never heard Zappa accused of being one of the greatest guitarists...

 

[Johnny Canuck3]

If you go to bernie's zappa vid, you get a 'top ten solos' vid, all packaged up nice for you.
