I cannot have a serious discussion about guitar players with anyone who does not own SUNPYG. How? It's like talking about physics without knowing who Einstein was.
The first guitar sound I heard that caught my attention was George Harrisons's feedback maybe-thumbnail-on-the-string intro to "I Feel Fine" The next unforgettable sounds was Clapton's Yardbird's "I Ain't Got you" solo. It was like he pinned the listener against the wall with his intensity
I went though a Page Beck Hendrix and Blackmore frenzy but once you hear "Inca Road" or "Montana" it's really hard not to want more. Did you say you want some more? Well here's some more!
SUNPYG is a 3 CD collection of nothing but solos. It dwarfs the creative output of every other famous guitar player just on the sheer volume and magnitude of the undertaking.
And to answer the obvious, "Yeah, but Purple Haze/Stairway To Heaven/Tale OF Brave Ulysses is a better solo" comment, well you never once heard "Heavy Duty Judy" so how can you possibly judge?
