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?

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 :-/

Best rock guitar solo I've heard live was at the Whiskey in Hollywood

backing up Graham Nash. I should email and find out who that was. I

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

I liked your guitarist's sound and
attitude, but others have done more with similar styles.

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

years.

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.:-)

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.

30 seconds? Tell that to Steve Howe or Duane Allman.

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

Did your computer broke ? Maybe some group of

you know who I'am talkin about right ??
Are you still living there in France ? Wine ! wine! wine!

I just bought a china/buffet cabinet and I'm collecting wine...
sparkling wine...champagne.. red wine for display only.
Right now I have several brandy, Vodka, gold Tequila
Margarita mix, Cognac, Remy martini, Kahlua etc...
What do you have in your cabinet.........?

My favorate guitarist always depend on what mood I'm in.
Right now I have T Bone Walker in mind. I'm listening
to his album titled T-Bone Blues release by Atlantic Records
and there's these songs 'Mean Old Blues', 'Blues for Marili',
'T-Bone Blues' and 'Call It Stormy Monday' with razor sharp
solo guitar riffs and licks throughout. Keeps you at the edge
of your seat every time.

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 "Ã* la" Clapton & Co who have been reference for
years.

I like short solos! Billy Zoom from X, there's another.

To make a good Rock'n'Roll chorus you need before anything else a good
Rock'n'Roll riff. Watch even the most chatty-boring guitarists are obliged
to make short and dense :

...Lou Reed "Rock'n'Roll Animal". :-)

That's why he hired Robert Quine, to make up.

:-D

One of my all-time favorite LPs. I've hoarded three MFSLs of that one.
