[bomp] Guitar Solos

[NankerPhlg@xxxxxxx]

Sknoof sknuffed:
<<< Lou Christie's "Lightning Strikes" was playing on some mix  tape I had 
made -- and just as that insane sputtering guitar solo started, he  cracked a 
smile and got a faraway look on his face.  "Is this YOUR favorite  guitar solo 
too?" I asked -- upon which  he replied "I played it."  >>>

On that note...a new thread. What are some of your favorite guitar solos to  
listen to? BUT PLEASE UNDERSTAND...I'm not talking about "good" solos like  
something that showcases skill or accomplished playing...Screw that. :> I'm  
talking about more oddball picks that you always like to hear, even if the  
playing itself isn't so hot.
 
Some examples...
 
"I Heard Her Call My Name" - Velvet Underground. Now THAT'S a solo (either  
one)
 
"La Bamba" - Richie Valens. I love it because it's so incredibly  
basic...Just a few notes up and down, and he doesn't care...he's having fun just  
groovin'. And so do we.
 
"Combination Of The Two" - Big Brother and the Holding Company. Hilariously  
and beautifully demented. 
 
"Tomorrow" - Strawberry Alarm Clock. Actually the playing isn't so bad, but  
it's that long last sustained note (stereo version) that I wait for. Love it.  
:>
 
I'm sure I'll think of more later. But what ones do YOU  like?
