Best Guitar Work

[Chevelle]

^^^great list Big Ears
I have a few Yamash'ta albums with Gary Boyle on guitar and I have a couple of Deke Leonard solo albums but I was glad to see someone mention Tony McPhee. I have several Groundhogs LPs with Crosscut Saw and Black Diamond topping the list.
With Rory Gallagher I was thinking Crest Of A Wave since I have always liked his slide guitar style.
Gotta mention one from Queen called These Are The Days Of Our Lives with one of my favorite Brian May solos.

^ Thanks. Dave Wellbelove also played on Crossccut Saw and Black Diamond. I'm not sure what happened to him. I forgot Gary Boyle, he is a great guitarist.

Roye Albrighton on Nelly the Elephant by Nektar (Down to Earth). It's a silly song and is really just a vehicle for his playing.

Steve Hillage on Salmon Song on Fish Rising. Another slightly silly song, but an amazing riff and solo.

Mannie Charlton on My White Bicycle by Nazareth (a cover of the Tomorrow song).

Jimmy Page on Whole Lotta Love and Dazed and Confused. Very daring at the time.

Peter Green on Fleetwood Mac's Man of the World.

Jeff Beck, John McLaughlin and Carlos Santana on practically anything.

Norman Greenbaum on Spirit in the Sky.

Ken Downing and Glen Tipton on The Ripper/ Victim of Changes by Judus Priest, I am not sure who plays which part. Same with material by Wishbone Ash and the later Thin Lizzy.

Dai Shell on Neil young's Ohio for Sassafras (Wheelin' and Dealin').

 

[Big Ears]

Sparks from Tommy by Peter Townshend.

I'm trying to think of Michael Schenker's best playing.

Rocks by Mick Rogers for MM's Earth Band (Messin').

Dave Flett on Drowning On Dry Land by MM's Earth Band (Watch). Flett should've gone on to the big time.

Edward Van Halen on Unchained from Fair Warning.

The late, great Ronnie Montrose on Voyager and Wish I Was (Gamma 1 and 2). Too good for mere words.

Rock 'n Roll Hoochie Coo by Rick Derringer (All American Boy).

Steve Hackett for the Musical Box by Geness (Nursery Cryme)

Dave Davies, but I cannot remember the track. It doesn't matter, his influence is enormous.

Steve Howe on Yes's Awaken (Going for the One).

John McGeoch on Shot by Both Sides by Magazine (Real Life).

Ted Nugent with Derek St. Holmes on Stranglehold (Ted Nugent).

Jane by I think Craig Chaquico for Jefferson Starship (Freedom at Point Zero).

Hold the Line by I think Steve Lukather for Toto.

5705 by Mike Slamer for City Boy's Book Early.

Maybe not Keef's best, but a less common live song that includes Ron Woods:


The Rolling Stones - Black Limousine - Hampton Live 1981 OFFICIAL


Velvet Underground - Sister Ray (Boston 15/3/69)

A wonderful assault on the ears, Lou Reed plays some delicious/vicious guitar here, from the gig apparently recorded through his amp.

Simon & Garfunkel - Anji

Paul's brother Ed sitting in on a performance of the instrumental "Anji."

Life without You (Live) by Stevie Ray Vaughan



Transatlantic -The Return of The Giant Hogweed
ft. Steve Hackett(Live from High Voltage Festival)


4- "Power of Soul" Jimi Hendrix - Fillmore East (1st Jan 1970) [Rare Footage]

 

[Big Ears]

Wow! I didn't know Paul had a brother, never mind one who could play.

 

[Chevelle]

Seeing Lou Reed mentioned reminds me of "Sweet Jane" live. Before Reed takes the stage the band plays a long instrumental intro with some excellent guitar work by Steve Hunter (I don't know the second guitarist).
I knew a few people back then that bought the album just for that song (and I was one of them).

 

[Tek_54]

Wow!!

I have to listen a lot of songs now, attendin¡ the guitar sound

 

[Sox]

A few off the top of my head ...

Jimmy Page - "Since I've Been Loving You"
Ritchie Blackmore - "Lazy"
Tony Iommi - "Spiral Architect"
Jimi Hendrix - "Gypsy Eyes"
Rory Gallagher - "Can't Believe It's True"
Peter Green - "Before The Beginning"
Eric Clapton - "White Room"
Johnny Winter - "Highway 61 Revisited"
Alvin Lee - "Waiting For The Judgement Day"

Dave Flett on Drowning On Dry Land by MM's Earth Band (Watch). Flett should've gone on to the big time.

Excellent choice and worth a reference.
