Greatest guitar track in a song?

This is my sentimental pick, and just may still be my all-time favorite song. I've listened to it countless times, and used to be able to play all the leads along with it on keyboard.

If anyone decides to listen to it, note how he just builds and builds to the end - a Larry Carlton trademark.

But if I have to be honest, I think this one is even better, including the building. By the end of the song, you find yourself totally engrossed in his soloing.

And on top of that, it fills you with joy. What more can you ask of music?

Well, "great" is in the ear of the listener, but for my money this is one of the greatest - Eric Johnson live Cliffs of Dover. It's a little long at 10 minutes but well worth the listen...

Awesome song and guitarist. If you are an Eric Johnson fan, you'll like the two Larry Carlton songs I posted.

That's my favorite Hendrix song, but I don't think the guitar work is all that special in that one.

This live version simply amazes me. It is more than a repetitive stab at a riff. He was on fire.

There are so many great guitarists who would never get mentioned in a thread like this, like Alan Holdsworth, Steve Howe, Steve Hackett, Robert Fripp, Wes Montgomery, and the person who most great guitarists claim is the greatest guitarist who ever lived, Joe Pass.

Larry Carlton said in a Guitar Player interview that he once went to Joe Pass for a lesson, and it took him over a year to be able to incorporate that lesson into his playing. That's some heavy shit.


He even turns a relatively cliched standard into something magical:

I've heard many guitarists in club bands play that song just as well as Jimi. Sorry, there's just nothing great guitar-wise on that one. It's just not that difficult. Great song, though.

People rave about this solo from Prince:

Speaking of Al Holdsworth, here he is with a drummer who can keep up with him.
