I bought my youngest daughter a Les Paul for her 16th a few years ago. She still plays, but not in a band.So while we’re talking guitars, who do you think is the best guitarist and what do think is the best solo?
I’m going with Prince and the intro to American Woman by The Guess Who.
Obvious one I suppose,Jimmy Page,all round genius,be it acoustic folky stuff (Thats the way),(Thank you)…The most evolved musicians,musician this planet will ever see.imho.Hendrix was faster and more " out there" certainly,but he didn’t compose much of any substance compared with Page,who incidentally was a ■■■■ fine showman.God!!, to have been at that Earls court gig they did in the seventies,still riding my raleigh chipper sadly.
I always enjoy the Doors solo ,on Light my fire,executed by the wonderous,Robbie Krieger,it’s a soulful,fairly restrained but awesome masterpiece from an overshadowed (understandably) master musician who wrote most of the bands best stuff as well.
