Favorite guitar solos

Three names: Danny Gatton, Tuck Andress and Monte Montgomery.

Love Danny Gatton: I seem attracted to soulful and expressive guitarists. Danny and Roy Buchanan were the best. They put every scream of their souls into their axes. Also, they were from around the same Washington DC/Virginia area and would have cutting contests over the telephone. Sadly, both men are dead now so we will never know what that sounded like. Here's my favorite Gatton song.


 
I always liked Tommy Bolin’s solo on Stratus on Billy Cobham’s album Spectrum.
 


If I had to pick one American guitar band who left them all in the dust is Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band. Their history of guitarists; Alex St. Clair, Bill Harkleroad, Jeff Cotton, Ry Cooder and Jeff Lucas are as good any rock group that played ANYWHERE. Obviously, if you check out my avatar you will see I am a huge fan. But they attempted probably the most musically adventurous album in rock history Trout Mask Replica. I used to get stoned and go to football games listening to it on my headphones. Made the games so much more meaningful. Here is a good video about the album itself.
