| Crossroads solo by Eric Clapton on Wheels of Fire is a classic.

Nothing can compare to the song in that email. Sorry. | |

| Damn, I'm impressed. Classy going guys: Clapton's Crossroads, Pete Townshend, Leo Kottke... damn, y'all are good. Let's add Stevie Ray Vaughan (gone too soon, pick any track at all), and Ry Cooder (say, "The Pearls" from Jazz, or "I Think It's Going To Work Out Fine" from Bop Till You Drop)

| My eight cents:
"Son and Daughter" (BBC version)
"Death on Two Legs"
"The Wind Cries Mary"
"All Along the Watchtower"
"Voodoo Child (Slight Return)
"Eruption"
"Mississippi Queen" (the original)
anything by Andres Segovia

| Jeff beat me to mentioning Stevie Ray Vaughn; man, that guy could play.
Not long after his death, there was another blues guitarist, a young fellow with long blond hair whose name I failed to catch, on "Austin City Limits" who put me in mind of Stevie. Another "wow".
I once watched a Carlos Montoya flamenco concert broadcast from Madrid. In one piece he played three separate melodies at the same time... 
Clapton and Hendrix naturally, David Gilmour, Eddie Van Halen, Jimmie Page, Mark Knopfler, and of course Carlos Santana... | |

Chuck Berry in R&B.
Alvin Lee, who played lead guitar for 10 Years After wasn't bad either.
Oh yeah, and Johnny Winters....

| guitar solos aren't all that great, believe it or not.. I really like A) Bass solos, and B) cool riffs...
But my 2 cents: Benjamin Harper (guy from YC) on "dad*"... nice solo, nice solo.
*I think that's what it's called. Being the cheapskate I am, I had someone burn me a copy.
