But if you want to hear an arpegio genius, search for Jason Becker on Youtube. He had his career stopped short with a terrible nuerlogical disease (ALS). You honestly won't see someone who is as one with a guitar.

definetly free bird by skynard

 

[Count Fuckula]

The solo on "Layla" was Duane Allman....not Clapton. I agree it is awesome though!

No it wasn't .. the out of tune slide guitar after the piano figure is Allman ... Clapton stole the Layla lick from Freddie King anyway

 

[Count Fuckula]

* Kid Charlemagne - Larry Carlton - on the a Steely Dan album Royal Scam
* How do the fools survive - the playout solo .. one take .... Jeff "Skunk" Baxter
* Neon - John Mayer, the version from inside wants out
* And you bird can sing - George Harrison.. harmony guitar way before Wishbone Ash or The Allmans
* The Claw - Jerry Reed
* Hocus Pocus - Jan Akkerman

And almost any solo by the genius guitar player Richard Thompson

I was privileged enough to see a concert with Dave matthews and Tim Reynolds. Both guys played acoustic guitars and an awesome solo from that set was from "What Would You Say". The whole show was amazing but that song was incredible. But I also agree with what mood I'm in

 

[Juiceman]

Stevie Ray Vaughn on a 12- string, don't remember the name of the song, but he tore it up from the floor up !!!

 

[Becks...poamr]

If it gets up to Best Bass Solo, let me know. I have a nomination.

 

[recnal420]

well... if its rock you are talking about, id have to say... any GNR solo off appetite for destruction, because its ROCK.

for european metal and those shredding virtuosos...

DragonForce anyone?
Arch Enemy - Taking back my soul; The day you died (there are many more tho)
Soilwork - Machine Gun Majesty (perfomed by Mattias "IA" Eklundh, he apparently used a pocket dildo/vibrator on the pickups during on point of the solo, its very reminisant of the drill on Van Halen's Poundcake'
ANYTHING by Children of Bodom/Sinergy/Warmen
Mercenary - The 'Hours That Remain' cd, yes all of it

Virtuosos
Marty Friedman/Jason Becker - Speed Metal Symphony
Jason Becker - Air
Marty Friedman/Mustaine- Hangar 18 and Tornado of Souls
Steve Vai - Juice
Michael Angelo Batio - anything recorded by him (its like shredding on steriods, i highly suggest Zeppelin forever, or Dream on, or Tribute to Randy if anyone disagrees

Oh, come on! Alvin Lee has no notion of how to build a great solo. Playing a constant stream of notes that becomes a 14 1/2 minute-long phrase is NOT the way to build a great solo, it just shows you have finger dexterity.
