Definitive version of Love In Vain from MSG 72. Mick Taylor from 4:43 to end always warms my heart and brings tears to my eyes.

Comfortably Numb, Guitar Solo 2 is one of the best pieces of guitar music I've ever heard.

 

The live version David Gilmour did on tour in Gdansk is phenomenal.  I have the DVD/CD set of that concert and the CDs live in my car, so I've listened to that version of the solo about 10,000 times now.

He really makes the guitar scream in this solo. I always point it out to my son (up and coming guitarist) whenever it's on the radio.  There aren't many better "rock guitar soloists" than Gilmour.

 

Gilmour's the best.  Knopfler's a worthy 2nd.

add Mike Bloomfield's lead that you can probably sing along to note for note, Bob sure has put a lockdown on piracy....

 

 

 

 

Keith overdubbing to excess and dueling with himself, shutting Mick Taylor out except for the last 40 or so seconds...

 

 

 

and just for you Mr. Taylor...

The worst lick off this album blows away anything a self-indulgent dinosaur like David Gilmour has to string out for half an hour...

Rocks Off is a perfect opener to a perfect album, but damn I hate how it cuts Taylor off at the end. :lol:

I saw Eric Johnsnon

 

 

I saw Eric Johnson and Dweezil Zappa at one of the "Experience Hendrix" tours about 4 years ago.  Awesome.

 

And anyone reading this - if you have a chance to see one of these shows, DO IT.  It's hours of great guitar from beginning to end. 

 

Saw Eric Johnson during his Venus Isle tour.  He's an incredible guitarist.  

No one's mentioned Clapton's solo in Crossroads, or Hendrix's in Little Wing yet?

I've always thought Keith Richards guitar solo on "Sympathy for the Devil" was perfect...I've heard some live performances of it from recent years (probably mostly Ronnie Wood playing them at this point), and while the solos are still great, they are far more embellished and drawn out...I just like the direct relative simpleness of the recorded studio version...nasty tones, fit the song just perfectly.

I do believe that this was the guitar he used. Ampeg lucite clear body.

I almost got one. The pickups were swappable - hum buckers/Fender single pole/etc.

Got a Travis Bean instead.

No Eruption or Stairway or Sultans of Swing or Crazy Train? Brian May or SRV? 

 

That being said Comfortably Numb and Gilmour are by far my favorite

I remember reading many years ago that a scientific study found Sympathy For The Devil and Baby’s On Fire to have the 2 solos most capable of causing hearing problems if played too loud.:D

I like that!  Keith's tape recording additions to JFF and Street Fighting Man of this era make it a little tough to replicate.

 

 

Andy Johns claims:

When we were doing "B word," Keith was very late. Jagger and Mick Taylor had been playing the song without him and it didn't sound very good. I walked out of the kitchen and he was sitting on the floor with no shoes, eating a bowl of cereal. Suddenly he said, Oi, Andy! Give me that guitar. I handed him his clear Dan Armstrong Plexiglass guitar, he put it on, kicked the song up in tempo, and just put the vibe right on it. Instantly, it went from being this laconic mess into a real groove. And I thought, Wow. THAT'S what he does.
