Best recorded rock guitar solo chorus?

[Jenn]

For me this might be it, if what you are looking for is emotional
content, musical sense, allusion to the song's lyrics, etc. I'm
speaking of the second solo (the long one ending the song), not the
first solo: http://youtube.com/watch?v=FC1EZcrZEIs

Second place for me might be Tony Peluso's solo on the Carpenters tune
"Goodbye to Love". No kidding!

Best rock guitar solo I've heard live was at the Whiskey in Hollywood
when I was in college in 1977. I never did learn the guy's name; he was
backing up Graham Nash. I should email and find out who that was. I
just remember the solo knocking me out.

Any other nominations?

(sorry to bring this up; as an "elitist" I'm probably not supposed to
discuss such things)

[Jenn]

P.S. I meant to add that I'm speaking of IMPROVISED solos.

Clapton on "Crossroads."

Anything Steely Dan (that covers Steve Lukather, Jeff Baxter, Rick
Derringer, and a host of others...). In interviews Donald Fagen and
Walter Becker have said ALL the solos on their albums were improvised,
although there may have been more than one take. They were/are one of
the best groups for rock guitar solos.

Isn't he an astrophysical scientist or something now?

To go from being a very sought-after popular musician and a member of
two GIANT bands to being a rocket scientist is not a common
progression. I'd have to agree that's he's an interesting guy even
though I've never met him.

Oh, one other Jeff Baxter memory. I once saw him playing with the
Doobies. He used one of those Dan Electro-made Sears amp-in-case
guitars. He miked the amp in the case and got an absolutely wicked
tone.

So much for needing a 1959 Les Paul Standard and a rack of effects...

My first electric was a Sears like that, circa 1960 vintage. SHould
have never sold it, of course. Ranks right up there with me selling my
1968 Mustang California Special :-/

I like Knopfler a lot. His stuff with Chet was really memorable.

The fact is that I don't know any other rock guitarist who use the same
right hand technic as Wilko Johnson (Dr Feelgood's guitarist).
This plus the particular sound of his Telecaster... I'm really sorry
that you haven't been able to make a difference.
Maybe you should try to listen a little bit more rock'n'roll, no ? ;-)

I didn't know about him before watching to the vid you have posted. I

Chuck Berry ? I agree... ;-)
My point was that, IMHO, most of *rock'n'roll* guitar solo shouldn't
last more than 1 minute or so...
...."with a short imagination" and in 30 seconds and "my" guitarist
(Wilko Johnson) says more about *rock'n'roll* than all those mass media
proclaimed guitar-heroes "à la" Clapton & Co who have been reference for
years.
The worst I've ever heard ?
....Lou Reed "Rock'n'Roll Animal". :-)

I'm glad you put a smiley there. Killer guitar album, as is "Lou Reed
Live" with the same backup band. That band later went on to back up
Alice Cooper not long after being with Reed. I even remember their
names: Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner. Apparently Reed got jealous of
the band, because all the press was about how hot the guitar playing
was.

As far as rock, 2pid recently brought up ZZ Top. Billy Gibbons
consistently gets some of the tastiest electric guitar tones.

30 seconds? Tell that to Steve Howe or Duane Allman. They're also rock
greats IMO.:-)

I agree. That doesn't make it a good solo, of course ;-)

Yep, some creative knob twisting and it looks like the stock pickups
have been changed out.

I don't understand this; please clarify.

Well, I admit to a low degree of interest, but I won't go into the
creative differences between our favorite solos unless you really want
to. Again, I'm glad that you enjoy what you enjoy!

Gibbons is also a fine blues player, thoug of course,
that's not what made him the big bux.

On the subject of Texan guitarists, I very much like
Eric Johnson, who keeps his enormous technique
under control and doesn't descend into shredding
(well, most of the time).

And Warren Haynes.

As you know, I'm not too up on electric players, but I love EJ,
especially, as you say, when he controls his huge chops. Good acoustic
player too; witness his arrangement of "April Come She Will".

As far as Texas guitar players go, Johnny Winter was a great rock lead/
slide guitarist back in the 60s and 70s. His bass player from his band
"And" was Tommy "Slut" Shannon, who ended up with Stevie Ray Vaughn,
and his second guitar was Rick Derringer (another huge player IMO).

Johnson is a monster player, plain and simple. Jeff Beck is another
one, IMO.

And Dickie Betts. His solos were always very tasty. Is Haynes still
with Gregg Allman? I think I heard he left some time ago.

Yo Lionel ! LoL ! What you been up too ? Hahahah !
Did your computer broke ? Maybe some group of
people send you virus ... hahaha... wink, wink, wink ...

Are you still living there in France ? Wine ! wine! wine!

I just bought a china/buffet cabinet and I'm collecting wine...
