Best guitar solos of the 60's and 70's.

Yeah, I used to drink with Joe at the Miramar hotel in Montecito when his wife would get mad at him and throw him out of the house!

It was a pretty common occurrence! I hung around with Dennis Johnston of the Beach Boys too. His wife was a student of mine for a while.

Wow. I never met him but he was from Kent (KSU) just down the road from west Akron
where I grew up... I knew a guy like him in HS -- stoned constantly but he could get on stage and play Comfortably Numb, Zep and Rush tunes ....

We made friends with the janitor and he would let us sit in the bar as long as he was working, and we would talk politics, music, cars, whatever struck our fancy that night.

He is VERY smart.

There is an awesome sax on this, but also a brilliant guitar solo.

KC and the Sunshine Band should pay Wild Cherry band members getting so much credit for that song.

It seems like a weird premonition that I posted a Van Halen song in this particular thread out of the blue last week, but I'm glad I did.

I can't believe no one has posted this masterpiece yet! Shame on all of you! Davey Johnstone from Funeral for a Friend/Love Lies Bleeding The intro to Love starts at 5:34 and is one of the greatest power chords of all time! The solo is at 8:42.

 

[Elton]

And this one starts at the 2:20 mark. I like how westwall puts the time of the video to save time. Great idea!
