For a bit of fun: your favourite guitar solos......

[betty swollocks]

Was delighted to find this tune recently uploaded on youtube, as I've not heard it since my schooldays and remember it very fondly. Some damn fine bass playing too. The guitar bit starts at 1.42:-

Ha.. I'm working with the band at this moment in time.
Chris Spedding is such an underated guitarist.

*Shameless plug* Their new album 'Ready Set Go' now available from all the usual places on CD and lovely Vinyl.

A bit easier to listen to.

David Gilmore on Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb.
Mrs B knows I want it playing at my funeral too.

Guitar solos are only there for radio DJ's to talk over.

Combining the wah-wah pedal and Leslie cabinet in that manner was inspired, and the wonderful blues-rock progressions suit the song perfectlty

Not to mention, he plays on 'War of the Worlds'

Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, Comfortably Numb Pulse Live 1994.

Truly epic.

That, sadly, is very true. The number of times I get immersed in a solo only for eg Chris Evans to start talking over.

Apologies if it's in one of the links above (they won't open at the moment for some reason), but as my first choice of Pink Floyd, Comfortably Numb has gone can I please cast a vote for Dire Straights, Sultans of Swing?
