Favorite guitarist and solo

Two great solos from Elvis songs: "Heartbreak Hotel" featuring the immortal Scotty Moore and "Promised Land", a ripping cover of the Chuck Berry song with a couple of great solos by James Burton, his old bad-ass self.

 

I don't even know his name, but the guitar player on Funkadelic's "Maggot Brain," essentially a 10-minute instrumental, is incredible. That song is mind-blowing.

 

I'll pick whoever played the solo in "Cover of the Rolling Stone." Oh, that's beautiful.

 

Johannes Linstead.

Solo? How about Han?

 

I don't know if it's Keith or Mick Taylor or both of them, and I don't know if there's a proper "solo," but Love In Vain -- by the Stones, off Let It Bleed -- is a gorgeous guitar song.

Am I weird for admiring the solo in I Fought The Law, by the Bobby Fuller Four?

The Edge doesn't do a lot of solos for U2, but I really like what he does on All I Want Is You.

(This is fun.)

 

Not at all. Best Buddy Holly song Buddy didn't live to write.

 

Mr M,

Pretty sure it's Eddie Hazel.

YHS, etc

 

It was Hazel. Great song.
