Today I fired up the 1969 cut "Loan Me a Dime" on the Boz Scaggs album. As always, I was amazed by the 5-6 minute guitar solo by a 22 year old Duane Allman. It's my all time fave.

Cliffs of Dover by Eric Johnson
Buck's biblical guitar solo starts at about 2:35 - and is about 4-min. long. Definitely worth checking out!

Not in any order:
1) So Lonely - The Police
2) Like a Hurricane - Neil Young
3) My Sharona - The Knack... don't laugh, that solo is stunning.
4) More Than a Feeling - Boston
5) Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin... heard it a million times, subject of ridicule in guitar shops everywhere but still sensational to me
6) Sympathy for the Devil - The Rolling Stones... yeah I hear "critics" say it is simple, few notes etc. that doesn't mean it isn't fantastic.
7) Go Your Own Way (2nd solo) - Fleetwood Mac
8) While My Guitar Gently Weeps - Prince (yes that Prince) at the 2004 RRHOF, that dude is severely under-rated as a guitarist.
9) I Wanna be Sedated - The Ramones... hands down best one note solo ever! Some of the best paintings are painted with the fewest brush strokes.
10) Once Bitten Twice Shy - Mott the Hopple... RIP Mick Ronson, one of my favorites and this solo is one of my favorites... I don't mind the Great White cover version... but nothing tops Ronno's solo.

I absolutely love all three guitar solos in November Rain by Guns and Roses. Gives me chills everytime.
