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:

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)
Rock'n'Roll ?

:-D


Hmmm.... pretty unimaginative playing, IMO. But, I'm glad that you enjoy!


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).


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

This plus the particular sound of his Telecaster...


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

I'm really sorry
that you haven't been able to make a difference.


I don't understand this; please clarify.

Maybe you should try to listen a little bit more rock'n'roll, no ? ;-)


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!
